Unironically.
Next time you hear a ridiculous description of the steps required for a ghost summoning or exorcism, just think about all the emails you have gotten from HR that detail the pointlessly overcomplicated process for clocking in and out of work.
Or when you hear Sony just lost all their emails and you are like… what does that even mean?
It’s all just spirit forces blasting back and forth on a cosmic scale of bullshit and silicon.
Your first example is more a symptom of bureaucracy, isn’t it? Most workplace processes of any age accrue tedious, overly complex steps and checks.
The second is… well, a little surprising. Someone got fired for not managing backups properly. But it’s no worse than 30 years ago when a single, relatively contained fire could destroy all of a company’s records.
Or is this a case of sufficiently advanced technology being indistinguishable from magic? I’m sure it must seem like it from a non-technical person’s perspective. Heck, jet engines at magic, to me. The big space rockets, too - there’s so much more going on than just a long, controlled explosion, and I don’t understand most of it.
No this is a case of technology sufficiently broken and enshittified to the point that you can’t ever trust it to work right, simply or even logically if it was made by a large tech company.
