Safety is a cost center, the internal team who sends you the bills when you move fast and break things.

I always thought safety was interesting in and of itself, but for some reason HN doesn’t have many people from the safety side of tech in conversation.

Tech isn’t a niche hobby anymore; Billions of people are impacted by the decisions of a few firms.

My grandfathers android had 3 different messaging apps installed, somehow. AI is enabling new forms of fraud at a time when we still haven't solved the old ones.

And this is all in the first world, move your coordinates to the developing world? We had human trafficking to get educated English speakers into call centers in Laos/Cambodia to defraud first world inhabitants of their money.

We aren’t in the early days of tech anymore, and the kind of scale that we have enabled comes with it a certain cost. We can choose to ignore them, or to understand them, but we will feel their impacts all the same.
