Modern large corporations are just an more inefficient, less effective paperclip maximizer, with humans gumming up the works.

Google is striving hard to remove the "human" part of the problem.

After finished reading the parent comment,

> Google's desire for scale, scale, scale, meant that interactions must be handled through The Algorithms. I can imagine it still muttering "The algorithms said ..." as anti-trust measures reverse-Frankenstein it into hopefully more manageable pieces.

I immediately pressed C-f to search the string "paperclip maximizer", and was not disappointed. Thanks for mentioning it.
