Part of the issue is that in most cases, viewing art requires benefitting the artist, either directly by purchasing it or indirectly by making it more popular. JK Rowling is the most prominent example. That said, it’s a spectrum.

Both mentioned games are notorious for the scale of the issues at launch, and the resulting backlash. NMS for the lack of content and Cyberpunk for the huge amount of bugs.

Anything with enough access to block malicious programs has enough access to block any other program by mistake.

Security modules like this usually get very invasive with the OS, to be able to monitor everything and so that malicious programs don’t have the ability to shut it off.

The fact that you’d need to keep this structure in SQL and make sure it’s consistent and updated kinda proves my point.

It’s also not really relevant to my example, which involves a single level parent-child relationship of completely different models (posts and tags).

SQL blows for hierarchical data though.

Want to fetch a page of posts AND their tags in normalized SQL? Either do a left join and repeat all the post values for every tag or do two round-trip queries and manually join them in code.

If you have the tags in a JSON blob on the post object, you just fetch and decide that.

“Can’t media format X run arbitrary code” is almost never an issue with the format itself and virtually always a bug with a particular decoder/player.

FWIW the cyber truck is a luxury option - if you can choose a cyber truck, you can a bunch of other, more reasonable options. That’s not true of cheap food and many other things.

My interpretation is that companies will spend a lot of effort analyzing human behavior, to find underlying motivations and trends, but won’t apply that analysis to themselves as a business and ultimately just pursue the line going up no matter the consequences.
