This Machine Kills Billionaires
The world of the future sees billionaires with android butlers, android sexbots, neural implants, retinal implants, and AI running things in the background. Suddenly a rich guy is 'extinguished' on his yacht, an industrialist is thrown over his penthouse balcony by his butler, a public speaker and philosopher who has filled his neural implant with the wisdom of the ages glitches badly in a public forum and is cancelled in minutes. And a journalist finds herself in conversation with an AI about morality - "Is it moral to kill somebody who has been responsible for the death of millions?" We might have found an AI with a conscience.
