One thing that is Scarier is being a Organ donor....you just need one terrible doctor to see you are a donor an let you die to collect that juicy organs.
Still I like the idea of commercializing blood no more of the blood donation thing

Even without a financial reason, something like an AI might decide it's better to let someone die because their organs could save several people and make life better for several more (things like corneas, etc.)

I am more worried about they will program the self driving cars which will have to decide who lives or dies in an emergency like run over pedestrians to save the riders or let the riders die to save the pedestrians.
The Classic trolley problem. Of course it will depend on how self driving cars really develop overall haha

There are ways to avoid that in programming, but then someone can remove that safeguard, and then we have Skynet.

That is exactly why I never sign my organ donation thing. I look at it and think "what would I do if I was a doctor and a perfect match for my rich patient showed up at the hospital for something minor?" I do not consider myself particularly corrupt -- but I after a phone call to my rich patient I would be harvesting that kid. Narcissist vampire billionaires can make you re-calibrate your priorities.

I see the logical extensions of the trolley problem once billionaires get involved

I want to kill a few billion but I want to be able to choose....don't want to kill people who make my video games and stuff that make the world work....
So if I could like have a quick summary profile on the person before I allow the trolley to kill that would be nice.
Like I get a app where I can swipe left or right to decide if they die hahaha

These are all good. I actually laughed at the "first in space" part.

I don't think super-rich people are a problem in isolation, but I read a description recently saying something like this:

Once you have a certain amount of money, you can never spend or lose it all. At that point money just becomes an extension of your will, and since there is no longer a limit to that will, ethics and morals also lose meaning.

I just think that if you have enough money that you could overthrow a government because you're bored and want to, that's probably too much.

When are we scheduling the next peasant uprising?

That's a good point -- but running over just a million nets you a trillion dollars so I would think you could just take some losses of your core support group. Or - considering who the hell has time for that - you could hire some folks to pre screen the likely victims and pull out your heroes .

lol, depends on if I recognize anyone in the line up; might let it go past them, or stop somewhere before them.

Tho, would prob let it get, at minimum, 1~5.
Maybe more, since the Earth, imo, is kinda overpopulated -- with how people have been acting, feels like we're going w/ quantity over quality.

Wish you lurkers a relaxed and restful Caturday.

Wait till you realize the first person on the track is you, and you essentially kill yourself because of your greed.
