Holding tech execs accountable
Should we start trying executives of powerful tech companies for crimes when they don't deliver? For example, Tim Cook has run Apple into the ground by not delivering a single innovative product since Steve Jobs died. Even worse, the company hasn't even kept par on industry standard functionality (like Siri, iOS, Apple music, etc - these all fall sorely behind Alexa, Android, Spotify, etc etc). Another example is Sundar Pichai. For example, the pixel 3 was an embarrassing disappointment with the notch, subpar RAM, etc etc. So, should these leaders be tried in courts of law for crimes against humanity or something similar?
OP never learned throwing people in cages doesnât improve society
I would say that imprisoning a murderer, for example, and rendering him or her unable to murder again, is an improvement to society.
Murderer != CEO who didnât perform to your particular goofy ideals. You jumped from a non-crime, to one of the worst crimes- this is bad logic. Furthermore, youâre invoking the broken window fallacy. Sure, maybe society is slightly (immeasurably) better off by having a minuscule and imperceptible reduction in the general risk of being murdered. However, if the murderer is rehabilitated and can contribute to society, and perhaps even make reparations for their crime, society would be much better off. So youâre making the common mistake of seeing one thing that does happen, and not realizing that there are alternatives that donât happen because of the first action- and then assuming that utility has been maximized by the first action. Throwing people in cages does not directly make anyone âbetter off.â
Here I thought you were talking about Andy Rubin. Silly me...
Who would ever want to lead a company if you get thrown in jail for bad calls? Do you suggest that anyone that ever messes up at work gets jail time?
When it comes to large scale impacts, possibly. That's what I'm proposing and look forward to some good discussion.
I feel like this would severely limit the amount of people willing to own high level responsibility. How do you discern negligence vs. reading the market wrong? Nobody is clairvoyant.
I really hope this is a troll because otherwise wow youâre so dumb youâre a waste of oxygen
Your apple stock price is so high because Tim Cook get shit build and shipped unlike Steve Jobs.
You mean Tim Cook hasn't copied anything since Steve Jobs died. Steve Jobs didn't do anything innovative - he solely copied what was out there, wrapped it in a much better UX and chrome outside, and marked it up 4x. The only thing he innovated is the turtle neck look.
We should hold uncle Bezos accountable for only supplying đ to you code đ
Holy shit OP is stupid
What crime would they be charged with in your fascist utopia?
Do you know what fascism means?
Absolutely, do you? Youâre basically saying that those that donât live up to/ perform to the level of your standard should be tried and jailed
