replyOne would think getting caught asleep at the wheel while their bots are escaping containment and hacking third parties would be corporate suicide. One would think that potentially stealing their competitors' work on the Navier-Stokes problem would be corporate suicide.
Alas we live in bizarro world where there are zero consequences (maybe the opposite, in fact) for the first, and their employees meme about the second on social media.
Neither of those other two examples would stop corporations from giving you money. Bold faced lying to them would.
replyBoardrooms run businesses, not bookstore ethics clubs.
Boardrooms don't typically make mundane purchasing decisions like "which AI vendor should we use."

replyNot long ago it'd have been corporate suicide being caught massively torrenting pirated media. Yet here we are.
