And virtual IRBs and virtual consent forms too. In fact, can we just let the AIs negotiate with each other about ethics and leave us humans out of all that nonsense?

One was Star Trek, and the other was \”Dr. Sluggo\’s Torture Chamber.\” The goal of that game was to keep your victims alive so they could be tortured longer. Of course, with an entirely text-based interface there wasn\’t much to get upset about, but I just thought I\’d point out that one of the first computer games involved torturing virtual humans. There isn\’t much about the game online, but you can read the original code here.
