this is another reason why 'AI safety' was and is a red herring. it starts from the existing business models and market agenda of tech firms, and is a way of ensuring restructuring and governance reform can't happen. It creates safety from regulation for tech firms, not safety from harm for people.

*actual* tech ethics is something that is imposed from below, through changes in governance that give affected people concrete ways of resisting harm and shaping tech. Or engage in creating entirely different tech. Companies will never be in favour of it because it happens at their expense.
