    I’ll also delete this purely hypothetical, definitely did not happen, scenario in a few minutes.

    Imagine a smart gas meter. Regulations state that said gas meter shutdown and alerts crews if a leak is detected within two minutes of fault. The automated system might have missed the requirement by almost 45 minutes before issuing the command. People died…hypothetically.

    People don’t understand how flimsy everything we depend on is. It’s easier to imagine a 13 year old bullshitting and trying to be cool than a man, tired of sounding the alarm, venting on Lemmy.
