I've finally re-found a talk I think about at least once a week

"But don’t let that distract you; it was designed to kill people."

" Don't Get Distracted " by Caleb Hearth

A deeply important watch for anyone in software/hardware engineering, especially in a AI era

(available in both text or (I highly recommenced) video)

@benjojo @mei I found the text version better personally. But WOW, this is a gem. I'm gonna send it to the next person who asks me "you can work at [defense contractor in the area] on stuff that's not for killing people". Because it puts into words _with evidence_ what I already know deep down much better than I can.
