I still think washing machine and milk are more relevant scenarios for the daily lives of normal folks, particularly for physical harm.

Most people aren't using agents currently and even for those that are, the direct harm is limited to the digital realm. Of course, this could be major, but still, it won't kill you.

Indirect harm, I'll grant. But the user has agency in this instance. If you drink bad milk or your washing machine has faulty wiring, not so much.

I wonder what would happen if oil demand was significantly reduced, thus reducing fracking.

- vision

- mental health

- things like physiotherapy
