This thread is extremely important to me so please reply seriously.

There is a future society that has the technology to create massive numbers of people and torture them. Anybody can create trillions of people and torture them trivially. They can prevent this by scanning everybody with scanners and running a human level AI algorithm that detects when people are going to torture people and automatically detaining the person. I call this algorithm "Coba."

Can you find a reason for people to not use coba? Would you support coba to prevent torture?

There is a soc that had developed the ultimate in technology. I call it def tech. They can use def tech to create millions of people and potentially torture these people. They can create technology to hide themselves. I call it hidi tech. They can use hidi tech to hide and potentially torture trillions of people.

If they have information they need to hide they can hide using hidi tech or they can hide sensitive information using an algorithm to watch everybody and alert people when people are taking their sensitive information. I call this strategy hida. They can use hida instead of hidi tech to create an exposed society where nobody can be tortured.

My question for you is would you support hida even if it took high computational resources for an entire soc to create the algorithm that checks people to make sure they aren't taking peoples sensitive information? Or would you support hidi tech and allow people to be tortured?

Do you think its a bad idea to be indifferent to unreal evil? Imagine that somebody is torturing people in society and everyone is indifferent to that level of evil. What do you think of that situation?
