I would maintain that from a long term operational viewpoint it doesn't
matter if
the humans on the Supreme Court consider computers to be people or not, the
important thing is if computers consider humans to be people or not.
Making certain probably reasonable assumptions, that is quite likely.
Only if we remember that money is a tool, and not a goal. If money is the goal, machines
will correctly conclude that humans are not affordable: they need 02, plants, a very
rich and complex environment, etc. But with some luck we will be digital before, and get
more affordable in the machine's point of view.
To say that corporation are person is, imo, a rather big error. Only machine having the
Löbian ability can be considered as person, and corporations are not.
A corporation is just a group of humans. Why wouldn't it have Lobian ability?
