I think we're already there. The machine mind, I imagine, would be quite close to how true, die-hard capitalist businessmen operate.

When the goal is constant growth and higher profits at every turn, the cold, pure, number-based rationality behind those decisions is very mechanical.

Nice to see that, even when bullies have so much power, one—I was going to say confrontation, but this hardly qualifies—tiny clap-back sends them running like the chickenshits they are.
