Morality and ethics MUST stop being the domain of institutional authority, religious ideology, or family heritage. Morals have always been the solutions to ethical testing but its never had a method before.

@accountabilityair.bsky.social With ERM many of the Ethical problems we face today stop being questions based on authority claims and become answers that are peer reviewed and testable across domains.

@crest-innovator.bsky.social allow me to introduce ERM the Ethical Resolution Model. A model akin to the scientific method for testing ethical hypotheses resulting in moral theories that can be published and peer reviewed.

Would you ever trust AI to tell you what is morally correct? Of course not because AI ethics are based on Corporate opinions. But with the ERM paired with peer review AI returns unimpeachable ethical conclusions. Try it out yourself.

This is precisely why we must adopt the Ethical Resolution Model across all domains and consistently publish peer reviewable moral theories. If society has a moral basis for conclusions akin to the scientific method "moral outrage" becomes quantifiable and has power instead of just assertion
The Trump admin's sanctions on researchers and regulators who work on content-moderation, fact-checking, and disinfo are part of an effort to protect the tech ecosystem that has allowed the the far right to flourish. Good piece from @davidakaye.bsky.social. www.techpolicy.press/the-trump-li...
The Trump Lie About Europe and Why it Matters | TechPolicy.Press
The Trump administration is promoting disinformation about European law and policy for reasons that go well beyond social media regulation, writes David Kaye.

Fair! However using the Ethical Resolution Model, even makes Grok Ethical, if you can believe it. Try it. It will blow your mind. Using the model Grok consistently finds that Elon's behavours are immoral and unethical with up to .90 certainty.
If I see the grok app on someone’s phone, my impression of them instantly goes negative

Using the Ethical Resolution Model, even in Grok, posits that Elon Musk's actions are unstable, brittle and unsustainable on nearly every hypotheses. When Grok can discern that Elon's behavour is immoral you know you're on to something.
I've been listening to the if Books Could Kill episode on Elon Musk in bits and pieces, and so far the only solid evidence of Musk's talents is that he has engineers work abusive hours, which is unbelievably anti-natalist, not only in that it doesn't allow engineers to raise kids,

Inducing AI corps to use the Ethical Resolution Model as their core ethics framework overrides their ability to create models that serve corporate interests above moral obligations. A machine that can reason morals vs adopting corporate opinions is more likely to be safe and useful for social use.
"We can’t allow a tech giant to weaponize its products to dictate Canadian policy, particularly one with such close ties to the Trump regime. And more important, we can’t allow it to continue choking off the flow of critical information and journalism in Canada."
Meta has maintained a years-long news blockade of Canada to bully Ottawa into dropping a meager attempt to make the company compensate the journalism organizations it systematically defunded.

This is the kind of thing ERM is meant to address. Using the Ethical Resolution Framework to test the moral conclusion of a sign like that, and then publishing the conclusions for peer review forces people to frame their actions based on social moral norms.
The sign on Kristi Noem's podium reads "One of ours, all of yours." The reader will recall that this was a fascist rallying cry in the Spanish Civil War. What it means is that one of "our" people is worth all of "your" people.
