    What if my mechanical watch went rogue and killed Bezos?

    On one hand Bezos is responsible for a lot of suffering and some deaths.

    On the other hand, killing is wrong.

    On the third hand, it couldn’t do that, because it is just a machine.

    (It’s a watch, it has three hands. It also has about as much consciousness as an LLM, it “knows” what time it is. Much more energy efficient though.)

      Pretty sure the CIA tried to kill Castro with a mechanical watch at least once.

      “Killing is wrong”

      You are a child. A child with an infinitesimally naive understanding about the reality of the world in which you live. And you should stay that way for your own mental wellbeing.

        It would be easier to list things that the CIA didn’t use in a failed Castro assassination.

        Man, I remember being 14 and thinking I was having radical new takes on ethics. Then I grew up and realized that killing people* is* probably just bad.

          Depends on who’s doing the dying.

          Nestle wiping out villages to steal water? Bad. Billionaire dipshit dying in an idiot squisher of his own design? Hilarious.
