utilitarianism as a moral theory is different than the moral code that most utilitarians adopt

i can confidently say that utilitarianism asks me to save many more drowning children than i actually do. my failure to follow a moral code is different from a doubt in the moral theory

if there were too many children drowning for you to save them all, you would effectively have to save "as many as you could", where _could_ does a lot of heavy lifting

there is a threshold where you would be so tired of saving children that to try to save another would be suicide

you stop there

utilitarianism asks a lot and doesn't offer differing standards for mortals and angels

but like the author says, utilitarianism doesn't ask for _everything_

with superhuman persuasion and incorrigible preferences that users choose to override, it seems likely that personhood would be petitioned and granted in some sense

my next goals are going to be to close and tighten the loop

high level problems and strategies documented in notion

low level problems and tactics implemented in warp and windsurf

analysis of outcomes then documented back in notion

rinse and repeat

one really good part was the brainstorming and planning discussion leading to good project notes in notion, allowing 4o and o1 to always know _why_ we were trying to do what we were doing

the loss of higher level goals really annoyed me in the past

lots of trouble with having multiple ts files in the context at once though :(

after a certain amount of time, 4o and o1 in the chatgpt app kept misinterpreting the warp history and kept trying again to fix the problem i had just fixed :(

windsurf without cascade is meh, with it it's amazing
