For those who are unaware: A couple billionaires, a pilot, and one of the billionaires' son are currently stuck inside an extremely tiny sub a couple thousand meters under the sea (inside of the sub with the guys above)....
Why? Why should the lives/recovery of bodies of very few billionaires garner more ethical weight than hundreds of poor desperately trying anything to improve their lot in life, dealt by greedy hoarders?

I've applied for jobs a few times and this has always been a problem. Now that I've been out of college for a while it's even more of a problem.

My wife found out Saturday through an ancestry.com DNA test that her dad is not her actual biological father. Her mother had a supposed one time incident with a man she found on Facebook through the names on the ancestry test. Her parents separated when she was 6. She wasn't close with her dad over the years, but there was...
My supposedly biological father refused to even take a dna test with me. We aren’t close, he doesn’t even call. But when I asked him to take the test with me when we were lay together, he said, “At any rate, you’re mine now and it doesn’t matter.” I appreciated that.
If you take a close look at the produce aisle of your grocery store, and look at the packaging instead of the vegetables and fruit, you’ll notice just how much plastic is in use....
I’ve gotten my q-adjacent parent and multiple neighbors of American liberal persuasion to do this, and also paper bags! I don’t think it was a matter of conscience, more of practicality/pinching pennies, though. Either way!
Which is good. Their basic tenants, as far as I can recall, are “be kind, be responsible, everyone messes up sometimes.” It’s been a very long time since I attended a service, there are none in my corner of the world. Lots and lots of Baptists, Southern Baptists and Methodists that are breaking from the umc, though.
I’m still thinking about our conversation, and finally found a book I’ve been wanting to read/hear posted on YouTube by the actual author who self-narrates it for us. I’m only one chapter in (I should be sleeping, but I came here to post it, to you personally, and elsewhere), and he validates some of both of our thoughts. I thought about posting it to your website, but decided to let you make that call and post it if you wish. I’ll warn you now that it may require setting aside some emotions, in order to think dispassionately. This may or not be easier for me, as I may or not fall somewhere on the asd scale (I can’t access testing and properly addressing whatever the issue may be, so it’s moot), and obviously haven’t shared certain experiences with you.
A second warning: he does not use “right wing” in a political sense of the word, in the etymological sense. The post is also in the politics magazine, and I’d be most honored to listen and continue to swap ideas with you, if you’re interested.
For example if someone creates something new that is horrible for humans, how will AI understand that it is bad if it doesn't have other horrible things to relate it with?
Excellent, thank you! I’m wondering if something was lost in translation or my interpretation. When I think “context,” I consider something along the lines of: “Water is good.”
Is it good for a person drowning? What if it’s contaminated? What about during a hurricane/typhoon? And so forth.
