It makes sense to consider those two proposals as the unrelated technologies they are.
We can in fact choose which technological rollouts are beneficial and which are harmful. I'm not sure what point you're making by trying to link the two.
- bastawhiz 3y agoCan you be sure in advance which ones are good ideas and which ones are going to have unfortunate consequences?
- flashback2199 3y agoOh! I'm so sorry I was not clear enough! I was not trying to link the two. So to borrow a framework from another field, medicine, every medication (solution to a problem) must clear thresholds for both efficacy (benefits) and safety (downsides/drawbacks). The parent comment's analysis of police drones considers only one of the two, efficacy/benefits, and ignores the problems it could or would cause. As a counterexample, I provided one other - unrelated! - example of where looking only at efficacy does not yield the correct answer. Thanks for asking, I'm sure it was very unclear!
