@stan Have you read The Peripheral by William Gibson? There's a tangentially similar concept in that which I think you'd get a kick out of if you haven't read it already.

This dovetails very nicely with a bunch of stuff about the right to an explanation when an autonomous vehicle takes one life in order to save another - it's some very weird future ethics we're starting to land ourselves in.

I liked the style of article you chose to use :)
