It seems like “agent X puts a particular dollar value on human life” might be ambiguous between “agent X acts as though human lives are worth exactly N dollars each” and “agent X’s internal thoughts explicitly assign a dollar value of N to a human life”. I wonder if that’s causing some confusion surrounding this topic. (I didn’t watch the linked video.)
