When #AI needs power but so does the hospitals we have a #trolleyproblem - killing the fewer weak to help the many strong (counted by wealth) would be a rationale even for 'benevolent' AI

The #TrolleyProblem — you’re on a runaway trolley, speeding at 5 people. Pull a lever, divert to a side track, & kill 1 person. Or do nothing & let 5 people die. It poses a larger question about morality & other subjects above the president’s head. In his trolley problem, we all die.

Context: An out of control trolley is coming down the track. you happen to find yourself at the intersection point of the trolley where the track splits into 3 directions. 

It is currently heading down the middle path. The middle path leads straight into a children's hospital that has its track under construction. 
If you do nothing it will derail and crash into the hospital and collapse the whole building killing all 2000 occupants(it was not built very structurally sound) 
and the fact you did nothing will be broadcast to the whole world. (This is here to ensure you don't do anything. but to simplify it, just please assume you cannot do nothing, you need to make a choice)

You have the option to divert the track left or right, on the left and right track are two normal trolley problems, someone at a lever and two tracks with 1 person tied up and 5 people tied up,
both left and right tracks from where you are lead to this, 
Each has their own trolley. However, if you pull the lever, whichever track it takes will kill the person who is at the lever making the decision, not the people tied to the track. 

Here is YOUR dilemma:

The person on the left (top) track is someone who would pull the lever, they will pull the lever and kill the 1 person to save the 5 people. 
The person on the right (bottom) track is someone who would not pull the lever, letting the 5 people die and the one person live. 

That is the only context you have, you do not know if either of their reasonings to pull or not pull is done out of malice, indecision, or goodness. 
Simply put, would you kill the person who would pull the lever, or the person who wouldn't pull the lever?

Which way do you pull the lever?

A trolley problem for you all.

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.

Still remember a great RadioLab podcast - would you rather buy a driverless car that would prioritize your life over that of (eg) pedestrians, or buy the car that would drive you into a brick wall to save the kid running out into the road?

It’s difficult to accurately pinpoint how many deaths Thompson caused but there’s an estimate of how many lives the shooter may have saved. It’s more than 100s of thousands, so there’s that. #TrolleyProblem #LuigiMangione

Your Party MP Ayoub Khan Killed Dog To Save A Baby's Life Independent MP Ayoub Khan has told PoliticsHome he once killed a dog with his hands to save a child’s life.

Well now, there's a Trolley Problem.

But what if you knew the baby would grow up to be a new Hitler? What then?

Trolley Problem meme.

Democrats are the man at the lever.
Republicans are the trolley.

The Democrats have left the lever and used a shotgun to shoot everybody tied to the trolley tracks, and they turned around and asked the trolley Republicans, "I've betrayed the American people again... would you like me to suck your cock too, Republican Daddy?"

The Trolley Republicans reply: "Yes! But our mutual corporate overlords get to watch."

Below comic text:
'Philosophers: "It's a thought experiment, you can't 'lose' the trolley prob..."'
'US Democrats: "Hold. My. Beer."'

The problem with the institutional Democrats is that their corporate interests will always outweigh their duty to the people they 'serve'. #democrats #trolleyproblem

In the last picture, a Muni employee is using a tool called a "switch iron" to realign the track switch. For switches that need to be changed a lot (like where two routes diverge) there are clever mechanisms that allow a streetcar operator to align the switch from the driver's seat, but for […]

It’s the Trump Trolley Problem.

Kirk (school shooting #46)
3 children (school shooting #47)

Answer. Kirk

Hint: more people have children than Kirk has followers. But the USA lets children die almost every day.

This is the easiest #trolleyproblem in the world. Literally the entire oxygen-dependent population of the globe on one track vs a demented psychopath who rapes children and murders civilians in international waters on the other.

Who minds the switch?

The Trolley Problem Revisited: The Comfort of Anonymized Victims The trolley problem frames a stark moral choice: divert a runaway train to kill one person instead of five, or do nothing and let the five die.

Don't get suckered into being their #trolleyproblem lever-puller for this or any other issue (e.g. trans rights). Solidarity is what will save us.
