Isn't that just ethics at a higher level? If their goal is to create the most value in the world with the minimum harm, that's pretty much what they'd be doing

Isn't that just ethics at a higher level? If their goal is to create the most value in the world with the minimum harm, that's pretty much what they'd be doing - considering their resources are limited. For the one in 100k poor guy who got on the bad side of the AI this seems like a raw deal, but if you tweaked the system to avoid it, you'd probably end up with something 5 times as expensive and 10 times as slow. Queues of weeks to get your app approved kind of slow.
