pretty consistent/simple line here:
a matter impacting human lives -> sentimental, i.e. cognizant of human cost
a matter impacting my program's performance -> not very sentimental, i.e no human cost to be cognizant of

- trey-jones 5y agoJust like any other program: How good it is will depend upon the quality of decisions that are made in designing it, starting with: What is the definition of "usefulness"? I definitely think there is a room here to design a program that is more just in firing than a person would be. I guess it depends a lot on the benevolence or malevolence of our new computer overlords.
