The thing, people across the whole political spectrum have to understand, is
roles'n'goals
Roles and goals (or tasks) require you to ask what a person's (primary) role is in the situation in question and which primary task or goal results from it. This helps shed light on that person's motivations and intentions. It also helps, putting the topic into a more objective perspective
A 🧵
1/
Let's say, there's a rich person who owns a company. Said person has the role "capitalist" and the goal "make profits". So, making profits here is neither good nor evil in itself (I don't like it and I dislike the person for being profit-driven, but that's not the point here), it is just what a person in that role does.

Or in other words: Has to do to continue being described as having said role.
What does that tell us:
In terms of #privatisation, this means that preventing spending as much money on citizens as possible to increase that person's profits as much as possible is neither a mistake nor abuse of the process, it is what is to be expected of that role.
3/
In other words: If you want people to get health care or the like, they cannot get it this way, because it is against these roles'n'goals.
Another example:
#AI—or more precisely, it's current form #narrowAI—has the primary task to *guess* something. It has gotten so good at guessing in some subjects that it can be mistaken for knowledge.
4/
So when people try another topic and get bad results, they attribute things like "lying" and "hallucinating" to the inanimate object that AI is. However, it just did it's job: Guessing.
5/
Yet another example:
When a judge finds someone guilty, who has done something with a good intention, the person filling the role as judge has done what their assigned goal is: Determining whether the act was legal or illegal, according to the law—not whether it was "right" or "wrong", or "good" or "bad". That's just not their job. The law in this case might be flawed, but the courtroom and the trail are the wrong place to change that. That's what politics is for.

Even though, this is a fictional short film, it quickly becomes a very philosophical but also mostly very real discussion about #SuperIntelligence

Eigentlich hätte es nur ein einfacher Hinweis sein sollen, dass KI - auch wenn es künstliche Intelligenz heisst - weder intelligent noch künstlich ist. Es macht Fehler, basiert auf einer (oft falschen) Annahme, dass es selbst-bewusst und reflektiert ist und eine einfache Aufgabe löst wie ein Mensch.
