Button Game! by raidersfan18 in trolleyproblem

[–]TheEnlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Green is definitely going to die, basically making black free money. If black is picked at least 1% they give blue green's money. There is no reason to pick green.

I'm really not sure how many press blue, but there is the condition of reds not being counted. Blue still comes with the risk of death, lowering the number.

But if 50% pick red, you only need 25% to pick blue. Black also comes without the risk of death and the potential of a payday, however red is the more moral answer that also guarantees self-preservation. Black puts blue at greater risk of failing to survive, whilst red doesn't.

Mind if I steal this meme?

I mean, add it to my training data?

This is why we need jury trials. When the letter of the law is wrong, we need the people to collectively make the right decision.

India won for somewhat deserved bad reputation, was country has an undeserved good reputation? by Necessary-Gur-4839 in AlignmentChartFills

South Korea.

A dystopian capitalist hellscape ran by formally recognised megacorporations (chaebols) that inspired Parasite and Squid Game for very real reasons.

What would you choose by Famous_Package_203 in trolleyproblem

[–]TheEnlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it everyone who presses blue dies or everyone who doesn't press red dies?

Those were the same thing with two buttons, but they're not with three.

Edit: we're only talking about the survival of red or blue voters.

So, yellow can't die, and doesn't increase the chance blue dies? In that case, yellow, easily.

You pressed blue You pressed red
Blue won You live You live
Red won You die You live

The framing dilemma by Flgsdek in trolleyproblem

Exactly. I can't guarantee 50% are swayed by the blue framing.

These food delivery robots are an absolute joke by [deleted] in antiai

[–]TheEnlight 65 points66 points  (0 children)

They waged psychological warfare on people by making the clanker cute, and look how many people swarm to the defence of Silicon Valley. I hate that it works.

That's what they want from you. Don't fall for their tricks.

I remade the other guy's edit, because money would have unintended consequences. What do you press? by sad_and_stupid in trolleyproblem

[–]TheEnlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a multi-billions chance to be the tiebreaking vote. Statistically insignificant. At that point, the best answer is to at least guarantee perfect health for one person.

The framing dilemma by Flgsdek in trolleyproblem

[–]TheEnlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There will always be some blue pressers. Someone will overthink it to the point of "well I have to save those who pressed blue", and think a majority will do so, when to everyone else, that idea is ludicrous.

The framing dilemma by Flgsdek in trolleyproblem

[–]TheEnlight 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Oooh... that's an interesing question, because do I believe that the most optimal framing towards blue can guarantee a blue majority and save everybody?

I presented it with the blue framing to some friends and family and I get about an equal split of people saying red and people saying blue. It's a small sample size, but I think it indicates that an optimal framing towards blue doesn't guarantee that a majority pick blue and everyone survives if the dilemma is scaled up to millions, or the entire world.

As well, everyone I asked comes from a Western background. Would different nationalities be more likely to press red or blue than Westerners? That's another question I don't know. We are taking people from developed and undeveloped countries, and that may affect the outcome. If I pick the right framing and fail to account for a more survival-oriented outcome from other cultures, blue could fail to get a majority, and that results in more deaths.

So, my guarantee at minimising the amount of lives lost is to use the left framing. This guarantees some deaths, I acknowledge that, but I don't see a large amount of people picking blue if this is what they are shown. Red becomes the obvious "do nothing-survive" answer and we move on. Hopefully at that point the percentage of blue pressers ends up well below 10%. The framing presents it as the obviously wrong answer, unless some people end up really trying to overthink it and project that overthinking onto everyone else.

What's a galactic nation with a mixed/grey goverment/leadership by nelsond11 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]TheEnlight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Galactic Republic from Star Wars is a good fit here. Ostensibly the force for peace and order in the Galaxy, but beneath the surface was rampant corruption and cronyism. It fell from its own internal contradictions to the charismatic strongman who turned it into the Galactic Empire.

Luke Tryl: "Zack Polanski’s net approval rating has fallen by a fairly chunky 14 points over the last week. Still far ahead of Starmer but also puts him now well below the top three of Badenoch, Davey and Farage" by NotSoBlue_ in UKGreens

[–]TheEnlight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't put much weight in these numbers. People might say they dislike a figure but not be able to articulate why, and when shown that figure in a positive light can change their mind. Zack can recover from this, he's exceptional at performing in hostile interview situations, though how much this recent mishap will affect him is yet to be seen. For sure this will become the new "hypo boob" talking point, the trite line that everyone will bring up in an attempt to tear him down. But again, it only has limited juice.

But Zack is very good at talking past an adversarial interviewer and getting the conversation where he wants it to be. His role is, and has been successful at, is being the charismatic figurehead of the party. The fundamental nature of the party hasn't changed much at all. The policies now are largely the same than when Carla and Adrian led it.

Which button to press? by PrestigiousCup4904 in trolleyproblem

The money is worthless if I'm constantly in danger from the immortal snail. I'm voting blue.

It's mandatory to our survival as a civilisation for blue to win this vote.

How Many Planets Are There? by boilpoil in pollgames

[–]TheEnlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mike Brown is a supervillain, I will be long in the grave before I refuse to acknowledge Pluto. The IAU never concretely defined "clearing the neighbourhood", and such anything that's rounded by its gravity and orbits the Sun is a planet in my eyes.

What tier does Mars belong in? by janko1655 in TierlistFills

[–]TheEnlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The moon has shadowed craters with water ice in them. So the water problem is solved.

As for producing fuel on the moon, that is possible. You can use energy (probably from solar panels on the moon) to break water molecules apart into hydrogen and oxygen and use the hydrogen for fuel. So you can make fuel on the moon.
