It’s like watching a very elaborate game of good cop, bad cop.

But, they will be elected again, soon, to be the good cop that rescues Americans. And will do enough good to setup the working class for more loss during the next bad cop cycle.

Their superpower is to allow centralists to sleep well half the nights during a decade.

I design systems similar to this; in my mindset the competency and privacy are the same.

There is simply no way anyone competent or knowledgeable would have made this series of mistakes in good faith. And it’s very hard for someone not knowledgeable about the tech to understand the magnitude.

It’s rather like designing and selling car with bad breaks, and your car gets into an accident which could have been avoided had the breaks worked. But nobody could test the breaks fully?

Sounds like a long term issue that will not resolve itself. The only relevant advice anyone can give here is tips about job searching or sympathy.

You have my sympathy

There were over 500 other politicians who endorsed this; but I think she built her brand among those who feel particularly betrayed. And there is also a dose of misogamy, here and there.

But why do people feel so betrayed after older votes and actions should have triggered this much earlier? And will most of this go away soon?

“Being There” is as valid now as it was then. I liked the book and the movie.

Sadly the book is still copy-written, but copies are easily bought, in libraries or found .

Indeed, how can anyone know?

I think failures like this will be readily apparent, within months after launch, to technically minded people only. But only if people have summaries in their news feeds or know how to research the opinions of others..

Perhaps non technical people should wait at least a year or two of before trying a new service? By then the worst of them will have crashed or be found out.

This will not be the last time it happens. With llm coding, I think there will be dozens similar to this in a few years

It is too bad all these people trusted a bad company which cared little about them or their privacy.

I think the next solar flair that shorts out many of these will generate shocking interest for the stocks of the companies that make transformers.

Jokes aside, it will be a disaster leaving many in the dark for months; often it takes a hard learned lesson to overstock on things like these
