Who else will use technology? Trees? Swordfish? A ladybug?
Tech doesn't exist in a vacuum. If there are human limitations or biases that make a specific technology dangerous, we should most definitely rethink how we use it and how accessible and regulated it should be.
Idiot-proofing only uncovers harder idiots. People are ultimately responsible for their (lack of) judgement.
Yeah. Overshoot then overcorrect, then overshoot again. Only we've got our priorities skewed and now we're tuning using 'engagement metrics'. Numbers representing human happiness and contentment just aren't important in the face of capital.
