Comment Ten fatal bugs versus thousands of human errors (Score 1) 604

The question here is whether we'll be able to accept the fact the system can't reduce traffic death to zero. In factual numbers, the improvement is significant. Morally, we will have to accept bugs in the system with death as result. Maybe, sometimes even indeed a school bus will be involved.

If people are fine with this, fine. If they can accept the computer prefers their death over others, fine. You also need a very good DTAP environment in order to be able to be ultimately sure about any changes and fixes in this system. Continuing on this. At the moment, everyone is responsible for a safe traffic system. When this system comes to reality, responsibilities suddenly become very visible, material and calculable.

I agree. There IS no preservation of history or enrichment of culture anymore. Social mankind stopped being useful generally. Evolution has been stopped a while ago by humans. History will not be created too from now on. let's face it: Most (commercial) services we're all using at the moment will be gone within ten years. Without history writing, logging, let alone support whatsoever. Digital music, software, hardware support, books, blogs, all you clouds, all gone within, say, twenty years.. It's the shallow world we live in today.
