I see we agree, and that as far as day-to-day engineering goes I'd
probably care very little about whether a bug in Facebook stopped
someone seeing a friends kitten pics.
But on the issue I'm really concerned about, do you think "tuning for
addictiveness" on a scale of about 3 billion users goes beyond mere
recklessness, and what do we do about this "political problem" that
such enormous diffuse harms are somehow not considered matters of
"human safety" in engineering circles?
Is it time we formalised some broader harms?
