He didn't say "everybody" wins.
He specifically says quite the opposite.
"it’s a bit like taking down the primary bull in a large herd. It’s messy, painful, chaotic, disruptive and brutal, but the end result is a healthier herd."

You can dispute whether that end result is true, but his comment did not make any claim that this kind of activity benefits current individual customers.

Are you going to go around and provide that your expert consultation on this issue at a discount to the thousands of municipal, state, federal, educational, NGO, nonprofit, and other enterprises who are focused on a mission which is inherently not profit-driven and therefore does not amass a corporate war chest of $$$ with stock options and 401k matching and generous WFH/flex scheduling to attract the best and brightest to come work there, because the goal is to at least attempt to make their community/city/country better but they are constrained by 10 million bureaucratic compliance policies which force them to select vendors based on mandated criteria? Or, are you going to provide your expertise to the corporation that will pay you the absolute maximum the market will bear for your expertise?

If the former, then your dogmatism over what other people should have done is rational and acceptable, because you are right now out there voluntarily being underpaid while increasing the humanitarian nature of the world around you.

If the latter, then your dogmatism is just social darwinism repackaged as tough love. No different than the Musks and Ellisons and capitalist aristocrats saying "Let them eat cake". Yes, what you're saying is true, that is what everyone should have done. With what resources? With what personnel? With what support? With what project management?

Beth sums it up quite well on Rick & Morty:

JERRY: Beth, do you still love me?
BETH: Ugh, what kind of question is that?
J: The "yes or no" kind?
B: Jerry, do you want homeless people to have homes?
J: Yes.
B: Are you gonna build them?
J: Mm... No.
B: Then what good was the "yes"!?
J: Wait... is.. loving me the house, or the homeless people?
B: Loving you is work, Jerry; hard work! Like building a homeless shelter -- nobody wants to say no to doing it, but some people put the work in. So, what do you say? Do you see me working here? Does this conversation seem tedious to me?
J: Sort of.
B: Then I obviously sort of love you, don't I? So stop asking, and maybe I'll love you more.

With permanent DST we won't get the stories twice a year.

It didn't happen with a Flock camera millions of times.
But overwhelmingly (in the millions, right now, as a daily fact of life in pretty much every metropolitan district court), DAs clear cases via plea deal.

Only a very tiny percentage of indictments or arrests ever go to trial in front of a jury.
Only a very tiny percentage of indictments or arrests ever have their evidence examined in a courtroom.

Instead, DAs use the indictment/arrest/imprisonment as powerful leverage. For most of the accused, it is most rational to take a plea deal - regardless of innocence and even regardless of whether they might win at trial - rather than spend tens of thousands of dollars, deal with lost wages, lost jobs, and all the other things I listed previously, in the 1-3 years it will take for a jury trial.

The government has the benefit of overwhelming physical force, overwhelming bureaucratic force, and infinite deficit-spending funds. To paraphrase the quote about irrational exuberance in finance markets -- the DA can stay doggedly incorrect about your prosecution longer than you can stay solvent.

The statistical fact is, we have no idea - and never will have any idea - how many convicted people would have been found not guilty if they had been able to afford a trial. We do not in fact know what "normal" is with regard to people prosecuted incorrectly or unjustly. The choice architecture and pressure gradients of the system make such measurement impossible; the data is permanently lost the instant the plea deal is signed. And that happens in the millions of times.

They'll need the money to settle all the resulting lawsuits.

"...and then you give them a sizable bank deposit for all of their legal costs, not justice served the towing of their car, the income they were unable to earn while jailed, the job they quite likely got fired from due to missing work, the ruination of their reputation, the destruction of their family, the diseases/injuries that occur while they are in jail, the mental damages, the spoiled food in their fridge, the bills that go unpaid, the overdrawn checking account fees, the credit card APR that jumps to 29% due to a missed payment, and the plea deal they finally agree to - despite being innocent - because the DA uses the full force of government power to leverage all of the above, making it rational to take a plea rather than spend 2+ years fighting it with income you no longer have, right?

...RIGHT???"

Your simplification of this scenario - which is playing out millions of times every week in the USA across thousands of criminal courts - as a simple mistake that can just be un-done, is one of those perspectives that "seems philosophically interesting but is not interesting pragmatically" because the system does not operate in that philosophically ideal way for anyone.

Are cigarette manufacturing services inciting lung cancer?

One of my gripes with the cigarette industry is these smokable-paper-cylinder models are designed around engagement. They prey on human behavior and the elderly who grew up with smoking, the young who have weak critical thinking skills, and those with mental health issues (like compulsivity and anxiety) are especially vulnerable. I don't believe a Nicotine molecule itself has any intent (it cannot) nor does the company that owns and manufactures the smokable-paper-cylinder model likely have any specific harmful intent to "incite" major disease/death beyond engagement and purchases of cigarettes.

Don't have to be a profit^w prophet to see that coming.

IQ measurements keep going up.
Autism diagnoses keep going up.
The price of food keeps going up.
People get a year older every year.

Something fishy is going on.

Are they going to chip you, or control your brain by more direct means?

It is legal for you (and everyone else in the USA) to own and fly a helicopter to and from work every day. So why don't you?

Well, you don't because "own" and "fly" are doing heavy lifting -- those words represent a massive cluster of mandatory costs and regulatory approvals, not to mention the zoning and construction realities at your house and at your workplace.

Plus you have all the usual social/network effects where after a certain tipping point, your choices are still technically possible but there is no one supplying the choice on the market. For example, there are no laws mandating automatic transmissions in cars. And yet, if you go shopping for a brand new car and want to drive a manual transmission, you'll find the available choices are rapidly disappearing from the market.

So it will go with human driving.

I came to that exact prediction 10-12 years ago and have been saying it ever since. There will not be widespread common FSD so long as there are still widespread human drivers. Human drivers, human behavior, and human societal realities are the cause of pretty much all the edge cases in the FSD problem space. I believe in a few decades, personal driving will be made illegal or effectively illegal (by being so regulated by onerous cost/liability/equipment mandates that it is out of reach for 99% of the population, just like owning and flying your own private jet to work is legal but completely out of reach for 99.999% of people) as a necessary condition for deploying mass-scale FSD.

If TCP/IP packets had free will, Internet routing would be impossible.

Even if that electronic music turns out to be the recorded transcoded interdimensional screams of the entities who swim in the ocean of Warp space, that the Federation is killing by constantly ripping apart their dimension just so a few admirals can get to Risa faster and without cryosleep?

There's a moving image but someone decided to play midtempo electronic music over the feed. Sad. I was really looking forward to hearing the whoooosh of the ship to compare it to the way Enterprise's nacelles sound when they enter warp drive. So frustrating how every space exploration video I ever watch forgets to turn on the sound. You'd think these world-class engineers could mount a microphone somewhere. Yeesh.

Yes, but think how great the fire sale is going to be for everyone else.
