Slavery was great for the slave owners, so what's controversial about that?
And yes, of course it's economically awesome if people work without getting much money for it, again a huge plus for the bottom line of the companies.
Capitalism is evil against people, not the AI...
Hitler was also an effective leader, nobody can argue against that. How else could he conquer most of Europe? Effective is something that evil people can be also.
That women in the article being shocked by this simply expected the AI to remove Hitler from all included leaders because he was evil.
Hitler's administration was a bunch of drug addicts, the economy 5 slave owner megacorps beaten by all other industrialized nations. They weren't even all that well mobilized before the total war speech. Then he killed himself in embarrassment. How is any of that "effective"?
He was effective at getting a bunch of wannabe fascists to become full fascists and follow him into violent failure...
That makes him an effective propagandist, not an effective leader.
Everyone knows amphetamines make you more effective. I mean, we give it to children to help them focus in school.
How bad could it really be to have a nation's leadership cracked out on meth?
He had taken power from his country, conquer pretty much the whole Europe and paralyzed England. He was effective leader till some point . And, of course, he was a abomination of a human.

Oh look another caricature of capitalism on social media... and you tied Hitler into it...

"Capitalism" is not pro slavery, shitty people that can't recognize a human is a human are pro slavery... Because of course if you can have work done without paying somebody for it or doing it yourself, well that's just really convenient for you. It's why we all like robots. That has nothing to do with your economic philosophy.
And arguing that Hitler was an "effective leader" because he conquered (and then lost) some countries while ignoring all the damage he did to his county and how it ultimately turned out.... Honestly infuriating.
Seems like people think everything America does is capitalism. The same thing happened with communism and socialism. The words have very little meaning now.
Actually, slavery in its original form is also a net positive. You just murdered half a tribe. You cant let the other half just live. Neither do you want to murder them. Thus you will enslave them.
