Happy Saturday all! Enjoy your weekend!
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.)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
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.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.)

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.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.)
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.One thing that is Scarier is being a Organ donor.

I see the logical extensions of the trolley problem once billionaires get involvedthe Classic trolley problem. Of course it will depend on how self driving cars really develop overall haha

Sleep well Bonki, hopefully we'll get some Grounded in today!
Come on maaan, leave everyone alone...
Shouldn't that be a boiled egg though?...
Go to a game thread and scroll to the bottom of the post.
Then click on the "Report" button.
Check the "Game Update Available" and maybe provide a link to the update in the more information box, and you're good.
There's only one suitable act for this treason!
Someone get me my hammer!
Well, looks like it's McDonald's drive by time...
What uhhh... is that?...Or the other good time, when you're just getting comfortable in bed, and suddenly the urge starts...
And with that said, I'm gone again, got something to do this morning apparently.
Welp, and it took so long, I have to go...
Hope you all have a good Caturday!
It's finally here!

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

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 .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....

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?
lol, depends on if I recognize anyone in the line up; might let it go past them, or stop somewhere before them.You must be registered to see attachments
Wait till you realize the first person on the track is you, and you essentially kill yourself because of your greed.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 .
