The image shows an aerial view of a group of private jets parked on an airport tarmac. There are at least nine jets visible, varying in size and design, with some having two engines and others having four. The jets are predominantly white with some having blue or red accents. The tarmac is surrounded by hangars and buildings, with shadows indicating it is either morning or late afternoon. The text overlay reads: "OF ALL THE MEETINGS THAT COULD'VE BEEN ZOOM MEETINGS YOU'D THINK A CLIMATE CONFERENCE WOULD BE FIRST ON THE LIST." The text is in white capital letters, contrasting with the image background.

DeepSeekは一角、中国でＡＩスタートアップが進化の一途－米国に脅威 – Bloomberg
中国の人工知能（ＡＩ）スタートアップ、DeepSeek（ディーブシーク、深度求索）を創業した梁文鋒氏は細身の体つきと控えめな話しぶりから、会議では内気で緊張しているように見えることがある。言葉に詰まったり沈黙を長く続けたりすることも多い。 しかし、いざ議論の細部を押さえれば、ＡＩモデルの構造や計算コストなど、同社システムの複雑な部分について回答に窮するような鋭い質問を次々に繰り出してくる。 従業員らは梁氏を「老板（ラオバン）」と呼ぶ。中国で上司に対して用いられる一般的な敬称だ。普通の上司と違…WALKNEWS (WALK NEWS)

It's not an ethical dilemma. If a HUMAN driver got into a situation where they had to choose between hitting and killing a granny or baby, we'd rightly jail them for many years for reckless/dangerous driving.
A self-driving vehicle should be incapable of operating in a manner equivalent to a reckless human driver.
If a self-driving vehicle is capable of getting into such a situation, the car manufacturer is responsible for a crime of homicide and should be punished.

If I see a granny and a baby on a footbridge over a motorway, and throw both into the path of a car, I'm glad to hear it's the car driver being jailed and not evil me.
(Of course I wouldn't do that. On the other hand the temptation to drop a heavy stone into the path, oh never mind, I wouldn't do that either)
Fact check: if the human driver was not drunk and did not flee the scene, they wouldn't even get their license suspended.
