getting the regulation out before the problem happens is better than after

There’s this weird effect where preventing a disaster is often invisible, sometimes looks detrimental or a waste of time; but responding to a problem and solving it is visible and will get you acclaim. That creates a cynical incentive to let a problem become visible before combating it so as to avoid the Kassandra effect where nobody believes you until it happens.

I too pledge not to put AI in your life!

So long as FF ships Google as default search engine, they’ll be captive to Google’s fuckery. That does make it a FF problem.

Because the executives have no technical understanding, but can’t stand that thought. They see themselves as genius visionaries whose whole job is to see possibilities. It’d be terribly uncomfortable for their self-esteem to concede that their visions are brutally detached from reality and the possibilities they think they see are hallucinations.

Eh, I’m not sure I can endorse the environmental pollution. Are you gonna volunteer to clean all the Cybertruck debris and idiot puree from the foot of that cliff?
