Yeah I thought about that but you can not trade one person’s life for a thousand others unless that person willingly participates.
By logic this should also extend to me and my loved ones but ofcourse when it is someone closer to you whose life may be saved, you can probably no longer act objectively.
In my current situation (ok economically but not without worries), wouldn’t fucking take a million, nor a billion for that matter. It is not like all my consumption habits are %100 devoid of someone else’s suffering or maybe even death, indirectly. But having a vague idea about bad effects of consumption habits vs knowing it will be a direct cause of death is two completely different things imo. On the otherhand if my life or a loved one’s life depends on that money, that is a harder question and I don’t think I can really know the answer without going through it and deciding.
Ok now lets do billionaires but 100mil and ten thousand people in a far away country dies.
“In order to set this up quickly, then-Conservative government ministers accepted an offer from Palantir to build a system to administrate the scheme, based on its Foundry platform, for free for six months.”
Name a more iconic duo than conservatives and tech oligarchs
They should be suing Trump. It was a scam by him to funnel money to him and his billionaire friends’ pockets.
while UK moving on to give full health data access to one of the most evil tech company that has ever existed
I mean honestly if you asked any AI, with relevant OS info, first thing it would tell you is how to configure your laptop to suppress lid off action.
The best defense they had for such things previously was “but it is going to create alot of jobs for locals”. Now that they want to mostly automate everything in datacenters including security and maintenance, they don’t even care to sell it like that. It is more like “we are gonna do it, talk to daddy Trump if you have issues pleb”
tell that to scientists who left US because of this maybe they will come back? Likely not.
ye need a loicence from 'er majesty fer that bruv
bruv, have you got a permit for this spinal hernia?
In a logical world this would result in a different president right away but this is the, what, tenth time this is happening? I lost count honestly. The trump coins, the gold phones, the tariffs etc etc. One way or another they were all designed to funnel money from the poor (and sometimes the stupid) to the rich.
What do you mean it was all a scam? Trump is a god fearing Christian! Surely it is the fault of the next non-republican president from the future!
Ladies and gentlemen, Director of the FBI. No amount of Hollywood films is gonna restore their reputation after this.
Ah right, thanks Ren & Stimpy for saving my life!
and this isn’t even the most disgusting scene. I grew up watching this and I am ok (no I am not help me)
that is why the British moved to bricks. Wait that was something else sorry
fucking hell, I legit thought that was Trump too
Scientist who mingled with this man should be forced to read these emails in public.
Yeah but I think there is a difference between the two, it is a more direct consequence of your decision only, not society on a whole. I would imagine shared guilt of indirect results is much lighter on the psychology than a direct and visible consequence of what comes out of one’s mouth. There is ofcourse alot of grey region scenarios in between (like you won’t know who dies, or death will be of natural causes but immediate etc).
