Therac-25: *exists. Injures many*

Engineers of the past: aw damn. Better not put to much faith in software. It might override its safeguards and kill people! Thanks for the lesson Therac-25!!

Self aggrandizing software bitches: Self driving cars! Remove human error! No mechanical input!

Therac-25: wait. Have you learned NOTHING FROM ME?!

Self driving car enthusiast: We give the robot moral tests to make it choose between killing a baby and a grandma!

Any person with a lick of sense: Just.... Just drive off the road if you can... Bro!

Car bitch: THE CAR STAYS ON THE ROAD! THINK OF THE TROLLEY PROBLEM

Engineers: WE SOLVED THAT!

Another insulting name that I'm using in place of people like Elon Musk: YAY TECHNOLOGY! HUMANS ARE WEAK AND OBSOLETE I AM GOD!

A cautionary tale about why you should never trust SOUP when dealing with radiation.

#soup #therac-25 #for the uninitiated ‘soup’ here is short for ‘software of unknown pedigree’#basically meaning ‘this works but we don’t know why or who made it’#in this case it’s particularly egregious because the software in question was running a machine that produced beams of radiation #and for SOME FUCKING REASON the hardware safeties were removed from this model and not replaced with software checks #because they just recycled code from older models and nobody could apparently figure out who programmed it #absolutely fucking bananas #anyway this whole series is really interesting #Youtube

Learn from my mistake and don't watch documentaries about the Therac-25 before having x-rays done

#i KNOW i am fine #but you know. anxiety brain in the moment was going wild #mod post #medical stuff #therac-25 #radiation

I just found out there’s a hospital near my school that had a THERAC-25 machine that malfunctioned and killed a patient due to radiation overdose I NEED TO GO SEE IF THEY STILL HAVE IT

#smol child speaks #I NEED TO SEE THE THING #radiation #THERAC-25 #if they still have it I’m rioting #if not I’m going to bite the receptionist #wish me luck yall im gonna go find it ✌️

At the Ultrasound/x-ray clinic like

Don't think about the Therac-25 Don't think about the Therac-25 Don't think about the Therac-25

#i know it was more often used for radiation treatments anyway #i know they are no longer in use #but my anxiety brain is a dork #i'm having an ultrasound it's completely unrelated to anything involving radiation #but any time i'm in a clinic with anything radiation-related even if i'm not the one getting that treatment #i always think about the #therac-25
