@tezoatlipoca@mas.to @dreid@wandering.shop Probably should also include SDI. I recall having a bunch of discussions on that in grad school in Irvine. There was a dude there who taught "high-level requirements" which bordered on ethics because it didn't just ask "how should we build it" but also "should we build it at all" which I still think is missing in a lot of curricula. (Not that it matters now that every single student seems to go through college on the back of some "AI" subscription.)

@phf@dmv.community @dreid@wandering.shop Assume you mean Strategic Defense Initiative aka "Star Wars" aka some orbiting death lasers to shoot down ICBMs? Funny you should mention that, DLP was my favorite prof in university: _On June 28, 1985, David Lorge Parnas resigned from SDIO's Panel on Computing in Support of Battle Management, arguing in eight short papers that the SDI software could never be made trustworthy.._ 1/
