I am deeply surprised by the silence of philosophers, sociologists, liberal arts majors, economists. Where are the think tanks who contemplate and debate the societal aspects? The tech is advancing full steam but the "other side" doesn't feel anywhere nearly ready.

Idk why you're perceiving silence. Feels to me like this is the main thing people talk about nowadays.

Because the "other side" is busy trying to anthropomorphise AI into solving the trolly problem, while being mostly clueless about the actual problems.

They'll show up after the fact and whinge endlessly about how they should have been involved.
