The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

how do you insure against an AI product going rogue and inflicting harm? How do you even evaluate the risk?

Well, from a philosophical point of view, it's hard.

But downsides ultimately boil down to things that an insurer is used to addressing. Injury, loss of life, monetary loss, loss of physical assets, liabilities for any of the above. Money isn't that much comfort if society collapses, but they have always been in the business of writing cheques for unpleasant things that might be rather more impactful than what money can fix. I'd rather be richer in a collapsing society than poorer, so there's that.
