What I find most frustrating about this kind of incident is this:
There is fucking nothing that would prevent humanity from actually building a ‘smart’ bed. Something that gives you data and allows you to control heating etc. based on this data, without these features being a liability.
This would’ve been possible decades ago and technological advancements have made building reliable software easier ever since.
But unregulated capitalism means that instead of using this to actually build reliable software, it’s rather used to cut costs. You still get the same unreliable mess.
And the worst part is that this isn’t even in the interest of capitalism either. Sending shivers down the spine of any experts that hear about your smart device means that excitement among potential customers won’t be excessive either.
