You can't fix a broken process by bolting AI on top of it
The article discusses the concept of responsibility and how it is often misunderstood as a state of being blamed for something that isn't right. Instead, responsibility is about having control over something and being able to direct it to be helpful and survive better. The article also explores how irresponsibility can manifest in various aspects of life, including historical examples of violence and modern warfare, and how it can lead to a lack of accountability and a sense of numbness.
