When large language models fall short, the consequences can be serious. Why is it so hard to acknowledge that?

Some trends (like CI, perhaps even CD) had a clear, positive impact on the product quality in general. Certain other trends have questionable value prop. All these trends saw wide adoption during a 10+ year bull market, which made it harder to scrutinize their precise benefits.

E-scooters are dangerous. E-bikes are dangerous. Distracted walking is dangerous. Wearing grey clothes is dangerous. Playing with a ball is dangerous. Jaywalking is dangerous. Listening to music is dangerous. Meanwhile, the car industry: (📸 by @tylernewcomb_)

That data is amazing. The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is not a good guy with a gun. It's a good guy WITHOUT a gun.
In 2019, KXAN News in Austin worked with the ALERRT Center at TSU to compile data on 316 mass shootings in Texas between 2000 and 2019. The data showed that armed citizens stopped shooters 10 times out of 316. Citizens WITHOUT GUNS stopped 40 of 316. 400M guns aren't working.

The story is spreading What if Apple made an e-bike? (combine @tim_cook’s doctrine on meaningful contribution + Apple’s future in health/wellbeing w/ all the wisdom @asymco aka Mr. Micromobility’s been sharing for years and there you roll) HT @iboudway, a few more links in 🧵

So I'm not the only one that everytime they read a conversation about self-driving vehicles, it suspiciously sounds like we're reinventing trains and buses?!? There was a name for this stuff when tech is applied to solve every problem? What was it?
