I think the "original sin" is the decision to steal writing and artwork. No permission and no compensation - just take what they want! Somehow no pennies fall to those whose real intelligence fuels this monster. The treatment of workers and horrific environmental costs add to the damage. No thanks!

Thanks for the article. I beg to differ.

Awareness that a company doesn’t drive in isolation of its environment and should be responsible towards its stakeholders is not a sin but actually what modern companies shall do.

They could have focused on “not harmfull” vs “beneficial”, nobody would have blame them.

Similar to Google “don’t be evil” if you get my drift.

The problem is not what you set for yourself that makes you vulnerable but instead when do something objectively wrong. Microsoft had its year of hate until the change of management.

It’s less about the vision/mission but the lack of alignment of people on it.
