i love this. although the result might be good in this case, it's a perfect example of the mindset that fucked up our society. not the question "how do we make things better", but the question "who gets sued if things go wrong"

Well, that is how societies of greedy people can actually sortof work. The idea is that you don't do bad stuff because you could get jailed for it. If you can just make the computer perform all the bad decisions and then get away with blaming him, people just abuse the computer do do bad stuff, that profits them.
It is sad, that for everything, that is somehow caused by a human, that human has to be made to suffer because otherwise greedy people just make the world unlivable for everyone. But that actually is why the climatecalypse is happening in the first place... -
@Oktokolo there's prisons now with algorithms that dictate the sentence time and i think that's coconuts, we're talking about incarceration here

@Oktokolo nope, the idea is that you don't do bad stuff unless you know how to get away with it.

@tosensei: And allowing to blame a computer makes basically anything trivial to get away with.
i wish that was still a standard
