       A missed opportunity, in my view, to discuss how #SiliconValley’s somewhat recent entry into the #SafetyCritical systems space is really the far more pressing issue here.Hand-waving systems safety yields *enormous* cost savings (far more than is typically expected) and is corrosive to a modern society in ways that courts could never rectify once sufficiently lost.https://www.businessinsider.com/venture-capital-big-tech-antitrust-predatory-pricing-uber-wework-bird-2023-7

       #SystemsSafety has an odd power.People today cannot really remember a time when everyday products would readily kill or maim. So, having lost those experiences over the decades, Silicon Valley increasingly saw a business opportunity.But modern society is grounded on the public’s trust and, given enough critical mass, trust can be virtually lost overnight.Quite literally.That is Great Depression stuff right there, folks.
