I would argue that we already accept relatively random car fatalities at a huge scale and simply engage in post-hoc rationalization of the why and how of individual accidents that affect us personally. If we can drastically reduce the rate of accidents, the remaining accidents will be post-hoc rationalized the same way we always have rationalized accidents.

- entropicdrifter 2y agoSometimes, but sometimes people just say stuff like "god is testing us" when things appear to be truly random. I reckon we'll see a lot of new religious thinking about this stuff
- cyanydeez 2y agoI'm not talking about random people's delusions. This is about the functional society where people fundamentally have recourse to "blame" via legal means one another for things. Having fallbacks, eg, pilots in the cockpit is not a long term strategy for AI pilots flying planes because they functionally will never be sufficiently trained for actual scenarios.
