Related to aviation systems, here’s a writeup about a complicated incident, where a discrepancy between two “identical” components was a contributing factor:

their story is so incoherent, i can’t even tell if there was a database to begin with
solve this sokoban or you’re fired
the announcement post is obviously LLM-generated as well
The field of artificial intelligence has come full circle.
And sure enough, just within the last day the user “Hand of Lixue” has rewritten large portions of the article to read more favorably to the rationalists.

I thought part of the schtick is that according to the rationalist theory of mind, a simulated version of you suffering is exactly the same as the real you suffering. This relies on their various other philosophical claims about the nature of consciousness, but if you believe this then empathy doesn’t have to be a concern.
Will there be statues to swap as well?
