I have to admit, there's an anger building here.
When humans make errors in their profession, it's an excuse to get rid of them.
When software systems make errors, it's an excuse to throw ever more money at them and replace humans with them anyway.

If I start making a large number of errors, can I be valued at $5 billion too?
I just want to understand what we value now. And it appears to be errors and bullshit. If that's the case, I want in!!!
