They should investigate alternatives to solid gold carriages. Gold is not only expensive, it’s very heavy, requiring much more energy to operate. It also has less tensile strength and its way too ductile compared to aluminum.
I’m not a railway engineer, but encrusting the tracks with “pillow cut” diamonds from “actual pirate hoards” seems like a security risk. And pirate hoards are only more rare over time.
Can you do that responsibly? This is the often ignored question. Maybe the answer is yes. But what bothers me is when people just ignore the question.
In logic, if you allow a contradiction into your reasoning, you can prove literally anything (by the Principle of Explosion). Similarly, if quality does not matter, you can achieve anything else (I can fly to the moon with a quality level of zero). And if responsibility doesn't matter, any lie is as good as the truth.
If, however, lies aren't as good as the truth, then responsible behavior might matter, and then we must consider which behaviors might be expedient yet irresponsible.
I agree, it seems like disabling them is quite easy. I'm more speaking to the new user perspective. From looking at their site I would have no clue that that product even had features aside from AI. I would never have a chance to find out I can disable the AI features.
