There also is no life and limb peril with the jobs they are pointing most AIs to. The failure modes are not immediately catastrophic if an image generator or chat bot makes a mistake.
That’s why they seem so focused on taking away creative jobs first: because the AIs being bad at them doesn’t seem directly dire.
#FailureModes is a devops meet-up to give a safe space to talk about failures.
I created a ICS calendar so you can get notified about the next one easily: https://failuremodes.dev/meetup.ics

Well, now that I've experienced every single failure mode of Google devices, I can die an angry man.
*blergh*
"Hmm... there was a glitch. Please try that again in a few seconds."

¿Me vas a hacer reescribir de memoria la misma queja que las últimas diez veces, porque esta poronga no tiene búsqueda?
Claro que lo vas a hacer. Y ahora es la versión canónica, con todo y hashtags.
Lo bueno de haber laburado en electrónica es que odiamos el verano y el invierno por igual.
En verano, los equipos fallan porque calientan.
En invierno, los equipos fallan porque condensan humedad.
Ambos casos catalizados por la acumulación de polvo que causan los ventiladores.
Y no, no hay NINGÚN entorno natural en el planeta libre de esas agresiones. O de otras más sutiles, porque atención que mi gente se las ingenia para que falle aún lo que no debiera fallar.

@samabuelsamid @pluralistic All the signs are that he's getting a crash (no pun intended) course in #failuremodes right now. I wonder if it will reshape his thinking?
Think of it as a $44B teachable moment ...
"Paying attention to how things work without thinking about how they fail is a recipe for disaster."

He's talking about computers, but this could apply to much, much more. Including -- sorry to be topical -- political & social systems.
The Stoics prepared themselves for tragedy by visualizing the death of loved ones. A less philosophical & more pragmatic exercise is to ask yourself for each system you build or use, "what happens when this goes wrong?"
