Okay, could someone explain something to me please?

Why did ANYONE ever think “guardrails” would work?

We all know that blocklisting is suboptimal because you can’t possibly enumerate all the badness (see also: antivirus). And anyone who has had to write a statement of work that includes application security requirements knows how impossible THAT is without adding a whole textbook as an appendix. (Or just writing “Don’t do stupid shit with the code,” which covers it pretty broadly.)

Don’t do that. Or that. Or that, either. And not like that. Oh, we didn’t know you could do that! Don’t do that.

Seriously, why??

@wendynather I guess because "we have no idea how this works much less how to make it safe to operate" really screws up your whole financial prospectus or IPO.

@mhoye @wendynather my number one take away is that these buffoons really believe their own marketing, which prevents them from engaging with reality as it actually is, rather than the voluminous puffery they offer.
