  1. I'm curious... it's a tinkered with Trolley Problem from the film, The Belko Experiment.

    1. You work in a large office block and, as you and 79 of your co-workers arrive for the day, you are told via an intercom that you have 30 minutes to kill two people by any means. If you don't, the tracker devices that you all (including you) have implanted at the base of your skull will implode and kill 4 of you - what do you do?

    2. After seeing 4 of your co-workers be killed when their trackers explode (you ignored the directive to kill 2 of you all), you are told that you now have 2 hours to kill 30 people. If you don't, the tracker devices that you all (including you) have implanted at the base of your skulls will implode and kill 60 of you - what do you do?

  6. Luckily, the trolley is still going just slowly enough that you can jump on from where you're standing along the track. But only if you act fast! Otherwise, you will get left behind.

    What do you do?

  10. KI trifft ethische Entscheidung: Trolley-Problem lösen.

    KI: „Ich optimiere den Gesamtnutzen."
    Mensch: „Aber das ist mein Opa!"
    KI: „Irrelevant."
    Mensch: „Wer hat dich das gelehrt?"
    KI: „Ihre Trainingsdaten."

    Vielleicht sollten wir KI weniger beibringen, was wir tun – und mehr, warum wir manchmal absichtlich ineffizient sind. 🤔

  11. People seem to love philosophical trolley problems, but they expose more about ontological grammar than a morality profile.

    The first of a 2-part series on the trolley problem. Part 2 will extend the issue out of the lab and into reality with autonomous devices.

  16. Good Trolley Problem

    You're standing on the tracks and a trolley is approaching.
    You have time to get out of the way and do so.
    Do you shoot the driver for no reason? (doing so wouldn't stop the trolley anyway)

    (Sorry, I don’t know who to credit for creating this)

  17. I think we can accomplish so much more if we swap #moral and #physics conundrums. Find an engineer and present them with the trolley problem. Find a philosopher and ask them if a plane can take off from a conveyor belt.

  18. So, a private jet burns about 904 litres of fuel per hour, which means approximately 2 metric tonnes of carbon emissions each hour.

    Santa's sleigh travels for 24 hours straight, to deliver presents all over the globe. This means 48 metric tonnes AT LEAST, because it's a pretty safe assumption that the sleigh needs more power (and therefore more fuel) than a private jet.

    So, this brings us to the Trolley Problem—do we kill Santa to save the world?

    ...and dont come up in here with bullshit about Christmas Magic.
    This is science, motherfuckers!

  19. Through the Philosophy of Integration, my framework, I have dismantled the well-known, always debated, Trolley Problem. If you would like to see how I dismantled it, check out the link.
