A little exercise in tricky decisions this week. If Warren Buffet told you to ditch shooting for the perfect CV and risk it all for that dream job today, would you listen? OK, maybe too easy for people here most likely following the startup dream – how about, how should a self-driving car choose who to kill in a crash? Not such a simple one… There’s actually a (slightly morbid) game developed at MIT that’s worth a quick play on that latter subject, if only to test your moral mettle. Just don’t do it with too many friends in tow – a new study out last week shows we’re far more likely to think freely (and be more scientifically innovative) when in as small a group as possible. Something to mention perhaps next time someone suggests one of those massive work meeting with too many dumb bodies in the room. Or maybe keep that to yourself…

Warren Buffet says the “build your CV first” career advice is all wrong. It’s working for those you admire today that’s more important.

How Should Self-Driving Cars Choose Who Not to Kill?
A popular MIT quiz asked ordinary people to make ethical judgments for machines…
