How would users participate in decision-making?
I think it would be good for users but definitely not beneficial for the company. As long as users are involved in the business or decision making, the dynamic will not be balanced. The company won’t be able to take full control, or it will cost them more to manage everything.
In what ways do you see capitalism, socialism, and other funding models show up in the country you are from or are living in?
In the United States, I feel that capitalism is everywhere. For example, dentists offer services that many people can’t afford without insurance. Society also puts pressure on people by making “nice white teeth” seem very important, so people end up spending thousands of dollars on dental work.
How do you divide out responsibility for a bots actions between the person writing the code and the person running the program?
I am really interested in this topic, and I even discussed it with my friend. I think "responsibility" is kind of a scary word when we talk about it, consequences often follow. When things go well, people love to say it's their responsibility. But when things go wrong, they usually don’t want to take responsibility. In this situation, the person writing the code should take 50% of the responsibility for the bot’s actions, and the person running the program should take the other 50%. The coder needs to act in good faith, and the person running the program must make the final decision. They can choose whether or not to run the program. So I would say it comes down to personal ethical beliefs.
Being and becoming an exemplary person (e.g., benevolent; sincere; honoring and sacrificing to ancestors; respectful to parents, elders and authorities, taking care of children and the young; generous to family and others). These traits are often performed and achieved through ceremonies and rituals (including sacrificing to ancestors, music, and tea drinking), resulting in a harmonious society.
I grew up in a family that values caring for others. For example, my mom would do her best to take care of her parents, sometimes even to the point of sacrifice us. She would make sure they were okay before we did. Because they're elders, older people generally hold more authority, and we shouldn't change that. I don't think I ever yelled at my parents or had a major argument growing up. I would say there are some good things about Confucianism that we can learn and apply to our lives, but not all of its rules should be followed.
