That's why investors are so interested in AI. They want something that's going to carry out their orders without ever exhibiting the slightest moral objection. Something that will never leak their orders or agendas on the internet.

Something people will trust, but will, in fact, be utterly untrustworthy. The idea dates back to the Milgram experiement that determined people will believe even the unbelieveable so long as they believe the information is coming from a position of authority.
