Get real, man!
If liability really can destroy an industry, then this industry should never have existed in the first place.
When you move fast and break things, but then have to pay to fix the things you broke π₯Ί
Let's hope that it can be fixed simply with money

However I dislike this, in some sense we (as in Web users) started this idea that tech should be free from liability.
Then vultures came and try to both make it all work for them and at the same time be free from liability.
I call that a childish idea.
Yeah, I call everything absolute a childish idea.
Just like everything else, laws work when there is an alternative. When that ends, they are abused more and more by bad people.
Just like the letter I got yesterday from an ISP I haven't done business with in 4 years, letting me know my birthdate and SSN were compromised. Why did they even maintain it if they didn't have a need for it? Also, why did an ISP need that in the first place...
They offered 1 year of credit monitoring. Lol. I'll wait for the class action.
I guess if AI can destroy humanity, then humanity should never have existed in the first place.
What an inane analogy. "Humanity" is not liable for the actions of legal entities like corporations. Should we all be punished for the misdeeds of boeing? It's probably only a few people who are directly responsible. Don't shill for them.
Did they need a slash s for this? Did they? Because people like you make me believe they needed a slash s. Like. Obviously this was a sarcastic comment because the original comment they responded to was horribly fallible. There are whole industries built on the idea that an industry can be destroyed by liability. It's literally why we have liability insurance. So when someone responds to that comment with an equally fallible statement that is clearly meant to be sarcastic we just ignore that because we feel that their statement is wrong? What even is this.
with the crazy shit on the internet nowadays, you have to assume the worst at all times. not everyone is good at sarcasm, even when itβs obvious.
