I run customer-facing teams and getting a deluge of complaint calls between Thanksgiving and NYE is literally a nightmare scenario that risks turning into a cascade (a couple people quit, more work for the rest, so a couple more quit, etc)

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

This is a big deal bc insurance is one of the strongest levers for changing policy and behavior (the other being taxes).
AI companies may have so much money they can self insure. But their enterprise customers don’t and this will cause them think twice about how they adopt and deploy AI.
