Both of kinds of language describe the same reality? The first sounds aspirational, and the second acknowledges where power lies. Maybe you would feel less alienated if you put effort into organizing to raise the minimum wage, for example.
You might not be giving enough credit to the complexity of industrial labor. Industry tends to imply that the humans are a fallible part of a mechanical system, but the skill and culture of manufacturing laborers could be just as complex as in large software systems.
This is a compelling framework. While the author mostly applies it to examples of physically hazardous accidents, it could just as easily describe the lead up to economic crashes or other less tandible disasters.
Is there a pager model sophisticated enough to accept remote firmware updates (or whatever condition for a software exploit) but lacking a battery protection IC? Otherwise wouldn't sabotage elsewhere in the chain be more likely?
It was most likely a supply chain attack integrating explosives into the pagers, this article [1] says the affected devices were from a recent shipment. The explosions are way too violent for malfunctioning batteries.
Great read about two worlds coliding. Also interesting to consider the level of artistry and care, ncessitated by exteme limitations, that went into the very short sequences in Jurassic Park and how alive those dinosaurs feel... versus the more technologically unbound filmmaking for Jurassic World movies, which to me offer nothing exciting to look at.
Or people resent the major privacy issues, inconsistent UX, and deprioritization of what they see as needed features, all to add a few hugely hyped but minimally useful AI features.
My biggest worry is that everyone complaining about hamburger menus will soon be wishing they could use a hamburger menu instead of being forced into chatting with an AI for menu settings.
Humans can be asked to explain their decissions and personally take accountability for them. Even if AI processes were less biased, using them introduces the opacity of relying on models that simply can't be fully intuited or explained. For life-altering decisions, merely performing better than a human is not the benchmark.
I remember doing this at about the same age in the 90s using Notepad.exe in tandem with Netscape Navigator to opine on paper airplanes. Maybe it's just childhood nostalgia, but that kind of web felt way more free than today's social platforms, react apps, and SEO.
