Hey, I'm Zach, the author of this. I had this idea as soon as Jev appeared: how would Jev and other decision models handle the Trolley Problem? So I ran Jev and 13 other models through many different versions of the question.

I used resampling and multiple variations and orderings of each question so a random lucky phrasing wouldn't dominate the result.

Happy to chat about the philosophical side of the article, strategies for prompting decision models, or anything on the methodology.

Very cool, thank you for putting it together and sharing the data

Would you mind adding Jeffy to your benchmark?

Thank you for the article, it is a very clean and compelling angle on decision models

I wanted to comment because I would have liked to have heard more about Verdict

It's well done, the thoughtfulness shows. This is going into the speedlink folder for resharing, going to be using it right now!
