    Watch the Netflix doc on this. It’s quite the watch and the writing was on the wall for years!

    Carbon Fiber just wasn’t cutting it, but he just kept going and going. He could hear the strands of the fiber breaking and just didn’t care. What kind of psychopath ignore that? Crazy shit.

        Sadly I’ve seen this up close. Not only do CEO’s, not know, they don’t want to know. They really want the story that says, we are making money, and here’s how.

          This is literally why the AI industry even continues to exist despite not living up to expectations. The CEOs just want to replace humans with AI so badly they’re willing to ignore the reality on the ground of it being half-assed.

            Makes sense really from a profit standpoint. Replace humans that need sleep. Healthcare and wages with one time costs.

            Too bad its not all fun and games when you put AI in charge of critical systems.

          In this particular case, the CEO was made aware of the issue. I read another article some time back where someone else who worked there reported the issues to him and was ignored. This guy knew, he just… I don’t know, thought nothing bad could ever happen to him? He was practically an underwater Icarus.

      Yup. Guy came up in aerospace, and while carbon fiber air frames have to deal with all sorts of freaky, weird stresses, simple compression is not one of them. The difference between sea level and basically outer space is exactly one atmosphere. The difference between sea level and the Titanic is… well… somewhat more.

      I just heard a video of a test and you could hear the delamination. I really don’t get how everyone single person involved didn’t be like “yo homie, wtf‽” with every single bang! These people are supposed to be experts on this field. I have a maybe possible community college passing level of material engineering, and even I was like “what is wrong with everyone???”

      Crime weekly just wrapped up the series. It’s also very good… and very long. 5/6 hours.
