To expand on this a little more, the absence of accountability contributes to the loss of learning. Mistakes and errors will always happen, whether they are sourced by humans or machines. But something (the human or the machine) has to be able to take accountability to have the opportunity to learn and improve so the chances of the same mistake happening again go down.

Since machines don't yet have the ability to take accountability, it falls on the human to do that. And organizations must enable / enforce this so they too can learn and improve.

Without that, there's a lot of dependency being pushed on the machine to (cross fingers) not make the same mistake again.

> The problem is that people are now building our world around tooling that eschews accountability.

Management has doing a wonderful job of eschewing accountability for decades.

It's a lot of people's dream to be able to say, yeah, our product doesn't work, but it's not OUR fault, and the client just shrug and grumble ai ai ai, and just put up with it because they know they can't get a better service anywhere else.

It's not MY fault my website is down: it's Amazon's! It's not MY fault my app doesn't work: it's Claude Code's!

I don’t think it’s missing, I just think it’s seen as a liability, and American society has been known to absolutely obliterate people who are liable.

Everyone thinks they have the right to judge, and use the massive amounts of available information to do so, even if they haven’t been trained to judge.
