- ErigmolCtThat's fair if you look at Xerox through the lens of "tech company returns"
- It's interesting how these models keep reappearing whenever technology gets expensive, complex, and mission-critical
- How hard it is for an organization to be good at both discovery and exploitation at the same time
- The difference is that those ads were annoying on purpose
- Yeah, it's tough to sell "gather here for warmth" when the chairs feel like they were engineered to speed-run customer turnover
- The song title basically ensured the audience would bounce before the uncanny eyeballs even appeared
- If this was intentional PR, then someone wildly misread the room
- Consumers have a surprisingly good nose for when something was made to save time instead of to say something meaningful
- The funny thing is that a lot of early Bitcoin advocates did recognize the blockchain's inefficiency
- You're right that the risk profile isn't just volatility. In a system where "you are your own bank," losing a seed phrase, signing the wrong transaction, or getting phished is equivalent to someone draining your checking account with no recourse
- How familiar this arc is to anyone who's ever worked inside an industry whose rhetoric and incentives drift far apart
- A peer culture needs peers and it's hard to form one when there aren't enough kids around to organically gather and create those little “societies” of play
- Cities feel riskier, but in many ways they offer more room to grow. Kids don't just need nature; they need space to navigate the world on their own terms
- The tragedy isn't just that they're doing this online, it's that it's the only place left. We paved over their physical freedom, then panic when they carve out virtual freedom we can't supervise. And ironically, we moralize their digital behavior while ignoring the real-world conditions that pushed them there in the first place
- Classic social engineering, just aimed at a language model instead of a person
- Our locks are great, except when someone picks them effortlessly and robs the whole neighborhood... but that's why it's important to keep making better locks
- If a model in one account can run tools or issue network requests that touch systems tied to other entities, that’s not an AI problem... that's a serious platform security failure
- It's less like locking the door and more like asking politely not to be robbed
- This feels like the point where the conversation around AI "alignment" shifts from hypothetical to operational
- Mozilla has a real pattern of shooting itself in the foot
