Fun fact: Duelling and stuff like that was outlawed in germany around 1500. Ewiger Landfriede

The thing with taking responsibility is that it isn’t actually about punishing a potential maldoer.

It’s to ensure that a safe outcome is guaranteed (as much as realistically possible). If you have a fire-proof door that automatically seals itself air-tight in case of a fire and stops the fire that way, that door is considered responsible too. Even though it doesn’t have a single living cell in it.

By the way, granting AI personhood would not mean it gets special privileges or extra protection or sth.

Companies are legally speaking persons too. That doesn’t mean that people recognize them as “alive and sentient”. It merely means that companies are able to possess property, enter contracts, file lawsuits, and such. Not more, not less.

yeeah, i had that thought too. thing is, it’s significantly easier to build solar parks on flat ground than on rooftops, simply because of installment cost.

i remember seeing a plot that says that installing rooftop solar is about twice as expensive than flat area solar (for the same kWp), but i can’t find the diagram anymore, after looking for it on the internet for 5 minutes.
