So much interesting stuff about that and this thread.

It's not a real image from the study. It's a cartoon done for that magazine piece by London-based illustrator Simon Landrein, so all of the arguments about the cartoon (trees, curve, pedestrian crossing) aren't responding to what the actual test questions were, which were asked back in 2018 moreover.

Then there's the #BadJournalism.

#ai algorithms "face" ethical choices... how would you approach these... play the #moralmachine and look at some of these questions...

I have another idea.

The "#trolley problem" is a trick to spread the idea that human lives can be priced.

It force people to accept to kill AND to give a comparable value to people.

Then the #MoralMachine from #MIT went on: what if you have to choose between the life of a kid and that of a executive? What if you have to choose between one pregnant woman and a homeless? What about a "criminal" or three dogs?

Human lives are not comparable.

Each person is unique: his value is not a scalar, but a vector orthogonal to the value of each other.

But the trolley problem has a simple and obvious solution: design and build safer tracks and trolleys, so that people CANNOT be killed.

Once you think about it, it's the obvious solution. And an optimal one.

Some will argue that such safe system is expensive, so you have to choose.

But guess what?

These are those who want to sell them. And those who want to sell #Capitalism. Because this is not, actually, #philosophy, but #politics.

Isn't it funny?
Like we could open an issue to #God, so that He could finally fix us...
