At the very least, if we're holding people responsible for their software, we should be holding car manufacturers responsible for crashes and firearms makers responsible for murders. "Oh, you were drunk and crashed your Prius? Put the engineering team in jail!"


Well, some actually try. Don't give them ideas.


I know, I know. I'm in the uncomfortable position of being both pro gun, and pro gun-control, so I get the worst of both worlds.

The total systemic paralysis is real.
