    People like me? What exactly is that supposed to mean? My race? My occupation? My financial or marriage status?

        How could I be expected to know the intent of your question when so little context is provided? If you ask such a general question, you can only expect a vague answer based on whatever I guessed was what you wanted. In order to not guess and more accurately answer what you want I have to ask for more detail on what you’re asking. Otherwise I just have to assume you didn’t actually want an answer.

          (Always end it with an accusation. You people are all alike.)

          But seriously.

          It’s simple. Think about what characterizes you. Think about those who share these characteristics. Think of that group.

          What horrible errors are members of that group often guilty of?

    If I’m taking this seriously, OP seems to be getting at the idea that people always insinuate “the other” is responsible for horrors, but that people in the same group are innocent? I don’t think everyone does that though

      No I’m not insinuating anything like that.

      I expanded on my point elsewhere in this thread. It isn’t anything fancy.

      I relate.

      I think it’s because so much of our work and play these days involves concentrating upon ideas and stories and abstractions and such. We’re all focused in our head.

      Which means that our attention is turned away from everything else. IE the whole world.

    I work in software. If you go to college for a bachelors in Computer Science, (I hope) at some point you’ll be taught the story of the Therac-25.

    Beyond that, blockchain, LLMs, stable diffusion/DALLE/etc.

      I actually know a guy who got his weener near-fatally microwaved by a buggy medical device.

    Sorry you’re getting so much hate over this.

    Those people’s answers must be “I get defensive when somebody insinuates that I have EVER made a mistake.”
