> there's no reason that Silicon Valley nerds should be expected to solve squishy human problems like inequality. Change isn't predictable[1], so it is misguided to expect that anybody will be able to solve difficult problems like inequality. However, we can and should expect "Silicon Valley nerds" to at least follow the principle of failing safely when designing new technology. Technology can provide incredible benefits to society, but harmful effects can also be amplified. While we shouldn't expect a solution to hard problems, we should be assigning liability and charges of negligence when someone makes the these problems worse.
