Ancient IBM wisdom (from 1979) that the bosses just straight up promptly forgot
(media.piefed.social)
Apparently a page from an internal IBM training manual. Some further attempts at source it
With the amount you've typed you could have easily typed a rationale. The truth is your opinions don't hold weight and have no good rationale. That is all.
The burden of proof is on you. Show me one example of a company being held liable (really liable, not a settlement/fine for a fraction of the money they made) for a software mistake that hurt people.
The reality is that a company can make X dollars with software that makes mistakes, and then pay X/100 dollars when that hurts people and goes to court. That's not a punishment, that's a cost of business. And the company pays that fine and the humans who mode those decisions are shielded from further repercussions.
When you said:
We need YOU to back that up. The rest of us have seen it never be accurate.
And it gets worse when the software vendor is a step removed: See flock cameras making big mistakes. Software decided that this car was stolen, but it was wrong. The police intimidated an innocent civilian because the software was wrong. Not only were the police not held accountable, Flock was never even in the picture.
Burden of proof? You literally just made your first point about anything I said, I shouldn't have even wasted the time responding.
You are really staking your argument on thinking companies don't get consequences for software fuckups?
I'm sure you'll make up some excuses for why somehow none of these count, but the list is so deep you could debate every example here and 10 more would pop up. Tons more happens behind the scenes too with SLA contracts etc.
This sounds like you knew you were wrong all along but still wanted to be a snide, condescending, and undeservedly arrogant about it.
The fact that some don't doesn't mean that none do.
You go do some leg work before requesting it of me after thinking you could just troll your way out of your ridiculous initial comment
Reading your other comments outside this thread, this whole chain seems so illogical. What triggered this bizarre emotional reaction to such a relatively innocuous comment? You must have been reading something in.
