The quote from the 1979 IBM training manual seems kind of (ill-)fitting also for this agentic era.

Was just about to say the same thing. It is kind of scary how the only way to pin accountability onto a human/ agent is by making it fear some sort of consequences. Make a mistake - get fired and lose your source of income. But of course, applying the same logic to an agent seems like a fast track to a redo of Terminator, but in real life.
