  • A couple of things here, this is of course a pressure donation where people don’t get the time to think about who they are giving to.

    If a company does it right it should have information about the charity readily available. If not, this is a shitty practice in my book.

    Many nonprofits have a high overhead. If this is the case a big percentage of your donation could be going into the pockets of administrators.

    Also, while the company doesn’t get direct benefits, it does get indirect. Like a goodwill vampire the company is leeching on the act of giving.

    Lastly, while the company doesn’t directly financial benefit there are no rules saying they can’t promote a charity that their employees/owners/shareholders have involvement in.

    While this may not be a bad thing there is nothing preventing them from picking a charity a major share holder runs thus enriching them especially if the nonprofit has high administrative costs.





  • Sounds like a fail to me. We will hold them to the same standards we would be held to. Can’t give a clean test then you are fired. We are also definitely going to watch you pee just like they do to all the poors as well. Turnabout is fair play.

    Watch how fast drug tests would be made illegal.


  • I think the advent of AI really highlights that we are finally on a post artificial scarcity trajectory. Corporations and the government have almost completely stopped caring about IP enforcement in the quest for AI.

    The system you describe sounds somewhat reasonable. I was just pointing out it never existed in the first place. It is a compelling fantasy put forth by IP Maximalist to justify their rent seeking behavior. Making that fantasy a reality is probably possible in a non-fascist society.

    I am a bit confused by the last part where without an IP system corporations would be allowed to abuse artists. That is literally what they do everyday with the current laws with AI being their ultimate fuck you to artists. I suppose part of the issue is these laws have been exclusively written by corporations to benefit corporations.
