Isn't the sector for software that is life-critical really small? medical devices, and maybe some control software?
Oh and probably defense too
I don't feel much better ( as someone who has spent their career in consumer electronics )
> Isn't the sector for software that is life-critical really small?
I think it's large. Think about the software that goes into something like air travel - ATC, weather tracking, the actual control software for the aircraft... I am aware that nothing is perfect, but I'd at least like to know that a person wrote those things who could be held accountable.
But how many people are there? Comparing to 100k in Meta? To millions from Indian body shops?

Think more business risk than risk to humans.
B2B AI LLM vibe-SaaS that has a 10% chance to become profitable and a 10% chance to gift away all money invested into the business ever while leaving founders on the receiving end of 100 lawsuits.
Technology that controls software that keeps people alive, controls infrastructure, etc., uhhhh I don't think so. I guess we're just waiting for the first news story of someone's pacemaker going haywire and shocking them to death because the monitoring code was vibed through to production.
