    This is perverse: giving everyone a financial interest in AI creates an ulterior motive to accept AI when they otherwise would not. This ruling is almost a form of manufactured consent.

    While it seems like an unusual legal remedy, there have been comparable situations, said Samuel Issacharoff, a New York University law professor. The 1998 settlement between tobacco companies and state attorneys general required the companies to pay billions of dollars over decades into a fund for health care costs.

    No it is fucking not comparable! Paying out equity and paying into a fund to cover future liability are entirely different!
