Awesome, thx for posting. I now have my new next book to read. Been wanting to read more of the original cybernetics stuff.

Would you also recommend "The Human Use of Human Beings"?

This is hilarious but... and I can't believe Im actually giving critique here... but a modern day, LinkedIn version would be couched in words like "exceedingly complex", "multi-domain", "system of systems", etc.

But the whole thing is brilliant. And #GrowthMindset at the end is absolute gold.

I'm def adding "slippery semantic slopes" to my vocab.

You pretty much nailed it. I can't even get outraged at any given instance now that the trendline is so staggeringly clear.

I can't see anyway this ends well for the US. I say this as both an American and a military veteran.

> There is a lot of history of the first movers that created revolutionary products that eventually faded away into nothing, while others capitalized on the innovation.

I'd say most first movers fade away. Microsoft wasn't the first OS, Google wasn't the first search engine, Facebook wasn't the first social network... etc... etc... etc...

I'll add my voice that the movie is definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it yet.

Palantir used this backdoor to get into municipal police departments. LA is the example that sticks in my mind. I remember others.

I think this issue is way overlooked. Current LLMs embed a long list of values that are going to be incongruent with a large percentage of the population.

I don't see any solution longer term other than more personalized models.

What are his recent missteps?

I'll confess I try to ignore industry chatter to a fair degree.

It's not their fault, they didn't have lean startup and blitz scaling yet. </s>

Oh wow. That's far less ridiculous a notion.
