Like this is pre shaky economy, a longer term trend. its generally harder to translate sales from short form video, you have to invest more and be more clever

I think this is why everything "tech" related sucks so badly. They get it good enough to launch so people can put it in their promo packet, get promo, then move on. "Good enough" is such a laughably low bar.
Basically, fake it til you make it, I guess.

My pet theory is that LLMs track with Silicon Valley's promo culture where all that matters is convincing people that don't actually know anything that you've done something amazing. Just saying you did it convincingly is more important than actually doing things that work. Claim credit and move on.

it's conway's law all the way down. incentive and communication structure enabling "good enough" that's not actually good enough...
this unlocked a lot of my own frustrations with big tech.

Cannot be overstated that the dominant project for people boosting this tech is to convince users that they can’t trust their own senses and they should give their body over to the machine.

we are *all* going to be actually “left behind” if we let tech companies who depend on military defense contracts (msft, googoo, max, openai, etc) train us to depend on them - whether you’re all for ai, vehemently against it, or like me in the “actually it depends on what we are talking about” space
