99.9% of decisions in real world isn't 0% or 100% but somewhere in between. The limit is there, the question is how big. The gulag example is a good one because with a different limit it would change from system of extermination into a civilized prison and it doesn't require any particular person to make this decision taking the full responsibility. It's just a change of some parameter by a few percents. > Pre-AI equivalent: These prisoners seem like they're eating too much, so let's cut their food portions. One third reduction seems reasonable. Bureaucracy and corporations are a type of AI, and they routinely make objectively evil decisions and people tend to follow. What computerized AI introduces is even stronger network effects, even easier monopolization, and even smaller accountability.
