I suspect this cultural norm will erode and wane somewhat when we inevitably move to put drivers behind a door/perspex wall.

Still can’t think of any example of “overserving” UX. Innovation of smartphones has definitely tailed off, but still no popular or successful modular phones.
@swardley why? Because Consumers value UX, where there is no such thing as overserving.

This!. There’s PLENTY of headroom to use these tools to deliver vastly more *consumer surplus* i.e. higher quality, faster, cheaper and higher volumes. The mistake folks is treating the sum of all value delivered as if there’s a ceiling, and a zero sum in how that is created.
The biggest mistake when thinking about AI Agents is to narrowly see them as replacing work that already gets done. The vast majority of AI Agents will be used to automate tasks that humans never got around to doing before because it was too expensive or time consuming.

I’m pretty sure “running the global economy” by decree and based on blind trust isn’t part of the US President’s job description. Whatever happened to those famous “checks and balances” that the US system is supposedly famous for?.
You can be open-minded about Tariffs, especially if paired with a cogent industrial policy and rationally implemented. But if it’s done by Emergency Decree, and we’re being told to trust one man to “run the global economy,” you can also have misgivings

I wonder the same for Aotearoa/NZ. Availability of capital might be one of the constraints here still. However, the culture or mindset/psyche is fairly similar to the UK, which might be the more intransigent issue.
Why doesn’t the UK have more startups?. Capital is fixed, technical talent is world class, tax incentives are great, visas mostly fine, university IP problems seem like they’re getting fixed. Free healthcare and social security net in the UK is a huge advantage that should make.

Wait, what? It’s super creepy to provide *the option* to track the location of device that *you own*??. This is a super weird take.
@9to5mac @benlovejoy This feature is super creepy surveillance tech and shouldn’t exist. Years ago, a kid stole a Mac laptop out of my car. Years later, I was checking out Find My and it showed a map with the house where the kid who stole my Mac lived. WTF Apple? How is that okay?!.

Don't you love it when companies literally advertise their product using a Mac and MacOS, but don't actually support MacOS?.@AimDataLoggers 👀

It’s 7 years later, and no modular phone has achieved any commercial success. Let’s see in 3 more years if a decade was long enough?.
"Bundled" vs "Unbundled" makes more sense than "Modular" vs "Integrated" for many industries.

This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained. And even in the best of all hearts, there remains. an un-uprooted small corner of evil. /AS.

The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either -- but right through every human heart -- and through ALL human hearts.

Accountability is naturally aligned in a “you build it, you run it” setup. There is no backstop who tidies up for you if you swing and miss.

The dark side of the political left today is that it’s mostly well-disguised fascism. (At least the political right is more honest.).

The laziest form of “leadership” is setting fake deadlines and then trying to enforce them.

A tale of two passport renewals: from Auckland to London and back for this one. The other from Auckland to Wellington… still waiting.
