Keep every option on the table. #Optionality is an #antifragile concept.
Once we take options off the table, we limit ourselves to what’s left. Sometimes what’s left is good stuff. Sometimes we naively eliminate the best option, because of norms and “ethics.”
What to do? Depends on your options.

@arlenr24.bsky.social We have reached the pinnacle of maximizing numbers and colors. We no longer have to make choices in video games. The video game presents us with a problem, then the game solves that problem for us, all while we get to observe our numbers and colors increase and progress.
ICYMI: Blizzard is preparing to add a new feature to World of Warcraft that might sound strange at first: an option to have the game tell you what spell you should optimally cast next in combat, with an additional option to simply let the game cast the ideal next spell for you.

“Science and technology do not have values in themselves. It is we human beings who have values. And it is the responsibility of scientists and technologists, both as specialists and as citizens of the world, to help advise policy makers and governments,” Alan Lightman and Martin Rees write.

We have a responsibility to ensure that our discoveries are used in the public interest. That isn’t always easy.

I often think this speech from Jurassic Park, and it reminds me of some of today's challenges. Imagine Ian is talking about AI or the ability for anyone to say anything to any audience (social media) - all without considering ethics.

So then they wanted you to lie? Fucking unreal.
Fun Fact: I was also charged with slander against the police for saying what happened during that interrogation, that they slapped me. EVEN MY MOM was charged with criminal slander against the police, and arrested, for repeating to the press that they hit me.
