I feel like sports leagues are going to have to figure out how to break up streaming rights across multiple streamers. Maybe make a single team stream while allowing for the overall rights to be fragmented.

You're also hitting issues with asset creation. You need a larger team to create assets for AAA games than an indie game.
But who is going to provide the financing otherwise?
The thread, like Lemmy, is filled with software engineers and IT professionals who are angry that almost all major tech companies are destaffing and want to use this as a reason that destaffing is bad.
Security likely a shit show before, especially if more successful attacks previously were of known flaws that weren't patched.

I feel like self driving cars are going to end up being the vanguard of deciding this, and I basically see it as mirroring human liability with a high standard where gross negligence becomes criminal. If a self driving car can be proven to be safer than a sober human, it will serve the public interest to allow them to operate.
The liability wouldn't be on the development, but the deployment.

It is hard to run an Internet site when the government turns off your Internet.
