      More clues to the profit-driven disintegration of the safety cuture for Boeing Max issues. It's not that these offshore software developers were necessarily bad coders (despite being cheaper)—it's that this kind of outsourcing doesn't optimize for safety. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-06-28/boeing-s-737-max-software-outsourced-to-9-an-hour-engineers …

      Outsourced "contract" workers cannot raise necessary issues—they aren't part of the whole process or aviation experts, and their jobs are precarious. Also, the outsourcing here is important as a symptom—seems these people didn't even work on the MCAS. https://twitter.com/HenriqueOz/status/1145054607200202753 …

      The Boeing Max case is important because it's a tragic example of how AI/automation/code crises will actually occur. It won't be Terminator coming back from the future to hunt O'connor. It will be regular corporations or governments using code/AI as they seek profit or control.

          Quality control slip-ups happen for a variety of reasons. Excellent testing is super important for products like aircraft.

          Not an expert but have come across the suggestion that pilots in the global north - with better systems of collective representation (i.e. US/white) - had been given more up-to-date information on changes to the MCAS than their black and brown counterparts.

          @DavidBrin predicted years ago that the first evil rogue AIs would be corporate investment algorithms: amoral, acquisitive, and predatory as their source.

          On a more blatant level, it shows how big business has disregard for the correct set of values. Cost cutting can cripple us all, before AI can do anything. https://www.lucidocean.com/articles/view/59 …

          Blaming the outsourced coders and/or their low pay sure looks a lot like blame-shifting, so the Boeing managers/culprits in charge of ensuring the system's safety and reliability don't have to take the fall.
