I am starting to get concerned about how much “move fast break things” has basically become the average person’s mantra in the US. Or at least it feels that way.

You're about a decade+ late to the party, this isn't some movement that happened overnight, it's a slow cultural shift that been happening for quite some time already. Quality and stability used to be valued, judging by what most people and companies put out today, they seem to be focusing on quantity and "seeing what sticks" today instead.
I’m not saying it’s a sudden/brand new thing, I think I’m just really seeing the results of the past decade clearly and frequently. LLM usage philosophies really highlight it.

I was more referencing the whole "I'm starting to worry" while plenty of people been cautiously observing from the side-lines all the trouble "move fast, break things" brought forward, many of them speaking up at the time too.
It's been pretty evident for quite some time, even back in 2016 Facebook was used by the military to incite genocide in Myanmar, yet people were still not really picking up the clues... That's a whole decade ago, times were different, yet things seems the same, that's fucking depressing.
Particularly since that mantra started around 2005 or so, which was exactly when Silicon Valley stopped creating companies that could run at a profit without a constant investor firehose.
