I believe your worldview is correct and also incomplete. It’s really fucking hard to come up with general rules that cannot be gamed.
- kube-system 2y agoI wasn't attempting to express my entire worldview in a comment. Yes, technology often brings both risk and reward. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't recognize/criticize/discuss those risks.
- edmundsauto 2y agoMy perspective is that framing them as “unrecognized risks” is wrongs. We are mostly engineers - what happened to “tradeoffs”?
- kube-system 2y agoMost of the issues in my examples above, I think are primarily created by business/marketing, not by engineers making engineering tradeoffs. e.g FSD is mostly fine as a technology but lives would likely be saved if it were marketed more responsibly
