That car AI chart is from the Moral Machine website, go take the quiz and have your own chart!

It generates random moral dilemmas, some of them are hilarious



Also Shaun owns and the end of his most recent video is relevant to this thread

That is awesome, I need to go and take that quiz.

Pet ethos: The machine should always continue straight, no matter the consequences, because taking action to kill a particular person is less ethical than by inaction allowing a particular person to die.

There was a good radio lab on these self driving dilemmas. The one big point was that no matter what people choose in situations like these quizzes, the end result is that the cars always need to do whatever possible to protect the occupants. Otherwise nobody would say that they'd use a self driving car.

Yeah that's a huge problem. Imo, they should always err on the side of killing the occupants who willingly chose to drive the murdermachine.

the only way for a self-driving car to behave ethically is to do donuts and then jump off ramps and then crush cars with its big tires and then fire comes out of the exhaust and also the self driving car is a monster truck and all other vehicles are illegal

A tweet from a couple of days ago that I can't find now was responding to that self-driving car chart and pointed out that the research is clearly being done by people who don't actually understand the technology. A self-driving car can't tell the difference between a man and a woman, much less a "criminal" and an "athelete". All it sees are highlighted rectangles and follows the directive "avoid obstacles". It's going to respond "ethically" the same way to a pedestrian as it does to a trash can.

No reason they couldn't be taught to recognize men and women, fit or fat, cats or dogs, if it actually made sense to do so. Which it doesn't.

Eh, the thing is that even humans can't perfectly identify "man" or "woman" at a distance on the street, especially if it's winter and they're all bundled up in heavy jackets. We go more based on fashion choices than actual physical characteristics. A self-driving car MIGHT be able to distinguish "children" from "adults" because of different size characteristics, but as far as two objects of roughly equal size, it has no way of knowing. It doesn't see details because it needs to be able to process things quickly and that level of detail analysis would be too slow for what little value might be gained from doing so.

A lot of people talking about the "ethics" of self-driving cars are obsessing over edge cases and digging into way more specifics than the cars ever will. I mean hell in a real life accident it's not like a human driver is making value judgements like "Oh no my brakes failed, do I run over the lady pushing the stroller or the man in the jogging outfit?". It's a lot more like "Oh no my brakes failed oh no I just hit someone".

The decline of artistic standards one is just one of my favorite graphs of all time. At a glance you can just know it's profoundly stupid. It doesn't even define what an artistic standard actually even is, if such a thing is even possible. Then it just so happens to completely bottom out at exactly the time the civil rights era hit but I'm sure that's just a coincidence that means absolutely nothing.

My favorite is that the peak of artistic standards and where the overall decline begins appears to be right around the 1860s :thunk:

The 1860's is around the time that impressionism became a big thing, paving the way for increasingly less representational forms of art - what we know as modern art collectively. By the 60's and 70's pop art and other forms of postmodern art were becoming a big thing.

It's still a profoundly stupid graph and of course the evolution of art is related to cultural changes that the author presumably disapproves of as well, but it makes 'sense' outside of the specific Americentric references that you guys are bringing up.
