But then a philosopher could operate a switch between two moral dilemmas, do you really want /that/ reality.

Gee, what could go wrong with a ~50,000 pound vehicle that's potentially an automated death machine?

With no accountability, accidents become a social cost, which the government is ultimately responsible for. Inaction is negligence.
When your fire insurance is worth more than your house.

The official whitehouse briefing said that he 'underscored' that a ceasefire would improve things and urged them to negotiate, and it wasn't conditional. I can't wait for someone to tell me to vote for biden because he called for a ceasefire.
The next auction round starts in 5 minutes as you franticly hit 'accept' for the dynamically priced minimum bid. You forgo the premium sauce package just incase the bidding gets competitive. Up next is the Big Mac, lot of 1, and you're hungry. You don't have time to do the next 15 minute auction round, you're got to get back to the job. You take note of the shill bidder on company payroll in the corner but there's a big group today since it's the lunch rush so it'll probably be competitive. You hope he doesn't notice that you've put on makeup to cover up your gaunt look. Today you're eating. You even tried to throw off your coworkers by telling them you were going somewhere else but you still notice a few people there. Bidding starts at $25.54, about an hours wage. You grasp your phone tightly as your tap your finger to increase your bid. It climbs to $55.44 as some people walk out of the restaurant looking dejected. $65.95. You know you won't eat dinner, this small luxury is enough to satisfy you. You're top bidder, only a few seconds remain. You look up to see the shill bidder snarl at you as he stares directly into your eyes and taps once on his phone. He knows he can push you. Your heart sinks as you see the price, $135 even. You frown as you place your final bid. 'Congratulations' appears on your phone.
If I borrow $1,000,000 at 0% interest at 3% inflation and put it in an inflation-proof investment (like housing), in 30 years it would be worth $2.5 mil. The 'real' interest rate is negative, it's free money.
I used to love it as a socratic tutor. All I need it to do is ask reasonable questions to challenge my understanding. But later releases of chatgpt made it too focused on giving you the answer.
The pay range for the Inmate position is very competitive: https://www.ziprecruiter.com/Salaries/Inmate-Salary--in-California
Five hundred dollars? Are you serious? Just for an hour? That's absolutely ludicrous. I mean, listen, I'm a tech guy, right? I solve problems worth millions to companies. And even I don't pull down that kind of hourly rate. Let me break it down for you, because there’s no way the value adds up here. Just think about it logically, for the cost of one hour, I could upgrade my entire home entertainment setup and enjoy it for years. Or better yet, I'd throw that $500 into crypto. Now that's an investment. Bitcoin, Ethereum - hell, even some of the newer altcoins. Exponential potential returns. This? This is just... it's poor financial planning, is what it is.
