Everyone is rightly upset about the plagiarism, and the class war angle of it. But I don’t really see anyone talking about the (in my opinion) very real possibility of software declining in reliability across the board.
It’s one thing if your check flow has errors in it. I might be annoyed if my shopping takes 15% longer, or if there are 15% more bugs, or your shitty chatbot hallucinates whenever I’m trying to get support.
Those things are definitely annoying, but I’ll survive.

But at this point EVERYTHING touches a computer at some point. When things start going wrong in a hospital or prison, or within the government, someone is going to die. The risk introduced by each Silicon Valley idiot-factory compounds the more that those systems interact with one another. So I genuinely wish I could just deep-freeze my devices until we can sort this nonsense out.

@Haste we do think about this and know others are too.
