Last year, it was CrowdStrike. This week, AWS. We are engineering critical social systems that are completely contingent on single points of failure. It’s designed fragility and it produces catastrophic risk—all because it’s marginally more efficient. We are foolishly careening toward disaster:
The CrowdStrike Debacle is a Warning
We have engineered social systems that are hyper-optimized, super efficient, but incredibly fragile. It's a mistake—and unless we fix it, we will careen toward much worse, utterly avoidable disasters.
