So while a computer may help make dumb decisions happen faster, I think putting the blame on computers when they've been such a driver of productivity is a mistake. Taking junk mortgages and calling them triple A, that's not a physicist's or a computer scientist's decision, that's somebody who is trying to pitch something...
