What is it specifically, though, that saves 100 by killing 12? If you can justify killing 12 people by putting a bigger hypothetical number next to it, why 100?

There are certainly more than 100 million people who did not die since Autopilot came out. Neither you or I can prove it didn't save 100 million people. Therefore if it were to kill 12 million people, that's a net 88 million fewer deaths. What is wrong with that logic?
I need to be educated on where the linkage between lives cost and lives saved is.

- vba616 5y agoThat's not what I was asking. The education I need is on how people know that something in Autopilot saves X lives at the cost of Y lives. What, in the physical world, does that? Where does the premise of a tradeoff come from?
