@ben I often feel like many people took the wrong lesson from the internet eating everything. Even if something does end up being the future (and of course we see many more false alarms than actual transformations), I’m not convinced that it’s always better to be early to the game. Speed matters but maybe not as much as more fundamental things. For every Amazon there are plenty of Webvans.

@scottjenson Some the LLMs have gotten *so* good at the lower level mechanics that I’m almost more worried now about issues like ones with nearly self-driving cars. If I get in the habit of taking my hands off the wheel, it’s harder to get oriented if I do need to step in (or even notice something’s gone horribly wrong to begin with)

@ben I especially agree with your points about a “default” VIP instance and work on discoverability. These feel like big initial user experience speedbumps for many people

@ben having worked on perhaps more than my share of videos, it struck me that the document starts drawing a distinction from conventional production (“we are not Hollywood”) and then goes on to describe at length skills and practices that I would expect to be table stakes for any moderately experienced person in the industry. The whole thing leaves me with a feeling of unnecessary reinvention (there are also better paths to reliable production than haranguing staff to care more).

@picardtips Want to multiply human capability? I’ll see whatever’s hot in AI and raise you plenty of sleep and some time outside

@ben as we saw with platforms that are essentially content/attention marketplaces, it’s entirely possible to eke out some wins, but as you said the goals are not aligned and in the long term the house always wins
