    I work in software. If you go to college for a bachelors in Computer Science, (I hope) at some point you’ll be taught the story of the Therac-25.

    Beyond that, blockchain, LLMs, stable diffusion/DALLE/etc.

      I actually know a guy who got his weener near-fatally microwaved by a buggy medical device.

          Sorry, nothing to tell. Old family friend. Vietnam vet. Always going to the doc. So I ask what’s up. Apparently when he went in for his dick treatment they accidentally turned the dial all the way to fishsticks. Internal burns. Ongoing treatment.

          Why he was getting his dick nuked in the first place? He will not say.
