Right or Wrong

@theo It is about being right or wrong

“It’s not about being right or wrong” Every time you corner one of these “YouTubers are dumb” people their brains fall out

@HonestDino @mi22ors @SethfowIermad @YourBudTevin Your IQ is 93 and you're still potty training

@rightorwrongnet @mi22ors @SethfowIermad @YourBudTevin Your IQ is 94 and you don't return your shopping cart.

I’ve seen like 800 tweets about this but my simple way of thinking is: If you choose blue, you don’t want anyone to die. It is impossible for anyone to die if you press blue. If you choose red, you are afraid of others choosing red. The only way anyone dies at all is if you choose red. When I read this, I actually don’t think about myself. I think about hurting the least amount of people. So I pick blue.

@mi22ors @SethfowIermad @YourBudTevin My IQ is 420 and after peer-reviewing my own genius, I can confirm red is the best answer.

@SethfowIermad @YourBudTevin This is hilarious as all it shows is the Dunning-Kruger effect for intelligence itself. Yes Red SEEMS the logical "high IQ" answer to those with a mid-good IQ. I have an IQ of 147 and calculated every scenario based on known variables. Based on the question asked, Blue is best.

@theramblingfool @subcountability Most people pressing 🔴 assume only adults who can understand the question will play. If everyone is consciously given the choice to save their own life, then 🔵 becomes a suicide button, and it's each person's responsibility not to press it.

There's a correct choice given your belief in the likelihood of blue winning and the moral values you bring to the hypothetical. It's a hybrid analytical/moral question. Smarter people tend to be blue because (1) smarter people tend to be more optimistic, which increases their estimate of blue's likelihood of winning, and (2) smarter people can assess the hypothetical with greater complexity, whereas a flattened view of the problem biases one towards red. Most of the rationales I've seen for red can only come from stupid people (but most people that hold almost any belief aren't smart). The rationale for red most likely to be a smart person is cynicism. Because if you're cynical, you're more likely to think blue winning is an impossibility, in which case the problem becomes less moral, more analytical, and biased toward red.

If you're smart enough to understand the hypothetical requires analytical reasoning, but not smart enough to evaluate the hypothetical's actual complexity, you're going to be wrong and very confident. And anyone who understands enough to get it right will look stupid to you.

@cremieuxrecueil Wordsum isn't an IQ test, it measures vocabulary rather than problem solving skills.

Red and blue button pushers: who's smarter? In a mostly-subscriber sample who took a brief verbal IQ test, the answer is... Blue pushers! If the whole population has an IQ of 100 with an SD of 15, their mean IQ would be 101.9, versus 97.0 for reds.

@Afro_Bella90 @TheDutchRuler @pterodaustro Because it's a hypothetical and including newborns or people in a coma who can't physically or mentally press the button wouldn't make much sens. Since it was not clarified in the original question, people voted with their own interpretation of "everyone".

@TheDutchRuler @pterodaustro Why would “everyone in the world” mean anything other than “everyone in the world”?

want to make it clear that i do not give a shit about the actual discourse this dumb poll is generating but i do find it a lil fascinating how like 90% of the people ive seen talking about it are in favor of the red button and present as the obvious choice. because i read this -

@Viktyr79 @Mitchendo64 @brighw3b Then I'm wrong but I don't think anyone pressing red is thinking that people who can't even read the question are part of the experiment

@rightorwrongnet @Mitchendo64 @brighw3b The Tim urban poll that Mr beast copied included babies/toddlers. So that's why people stuck to the same rules in his. Everyone, as in every living human.

Those people that choose blue are the worst set of human beings you could ever deal with.

@Mitchendo64 @brighw3b You're twisting the question, no one thinks that "everyone" includes babies who can't even read, it wouldn't make any sense...

@brighw3b Excuse me for wanting to attempt to save some drooling baby that thinks the color blue is prettier than red.

@Ludlowfnl 😅

@rightorwrongnet Never said I care about you personally gumball

You are a bad person if you press red. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it. If you press red, you are condemning infants, toddlers, children/disabled people/ elderly people/etc. who didn’t read or comprehend it, to death. You think you’ve “aha’d” all the blue pressers, but ultimately you are selfish, just like your choice of the red button

@Zynjam1n @Ludlowfnl For me too 🤷‍♂️

@Ludlowfnl @rightorwrongnet To me the prompt seems like it's implying that people voting understand the choice

@Ludlowfnl Wow I can feel the empathy

@rightorwrongnet Ask the proctor. Maybe they get a proxy, hopefully not you

@Ludlowfnl So people in a coma vote as well? We throw them on the buttons and see which one they hit?

@rightorwrongnet Because the prompt said everyone on earth

@yfcherries They don't but since we know everyone is offered the choice to save their own life without any consequence, it's everyone's responsibility to do so. People who vote blue are making the illogical choice of risking their life for no added benefit, it can't be blamed on red.

red pushers will just call blue pushers stupid over and over without ever realizing that the real question being asked is “do stupid people deserve to die?”

@romxdev I like react

Unpopular opinion: React completely destroyed web development We spent a decade learning a highly complex library just to reinvent server-side rendering all over again

@MichealCodes Yes

If you copy AI code blindly, You’re training yourself to be useless.

@draft_ofkritika If someone is just using AI, there's no point in hiring them, I'll just use AI myself to replace them.

can I ask a dumb question… if everyone uses AI… what makes someone better than others

Software developers are going to automate every single non-physical job before they let AI take their job away

@kapilansh_twt Firing engineers to hire prompters is a bad idea

if AI disappeared tomorrow the global shortage of engineers would be the worst crisis in tech history because for the last 3 years companies fired the engineers and hired the prompters the salaries of real engineers would 10x overnight turns out we didn't replace engineers with AI we just stopped hiring people who could code without it we are one outage away from finding out the difference
