“lazy use of unwrap blew up a process and took out the internet” bzzt. wrong. judicious use of unwrap blew up a process instead of allowing an Extremely Named CVE to happen and spraying your bank account credentials all over the public internet
People want a technical solution to what is ultimately a judgement problem.
People know that unwrap can cause a panic. That's the choice that's being made when you unwrap. Changing the name won't change that.

At a fundamental level, we have to accept much of silicon valley has gone insane.

This sort of stuff has been flooding every Linux-adjacent community I follow with huge numbers of new Linux users, eager to get away from the unwanted slop machines.
This is the future of Windows. Microsoft wants to rewrite Windows to turn computers into AI PCs that you talk to. It's now bringing AI features to all Windows 11 PCs today, in a bid to convince you to talk to your PC and let AI control it. Full details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/799768/...

It’s becoming pretty obvious that LLMs afford a culture that shares high affinity with corruption in middle and upper management because more and more white collar jobs have professionals now guided by management that seems intent on maximally checking out to their own, and only their own, benefit.
