Not sure I agree, with human coders, time was still a resource to be managed.

That's not how it works, though. There's still a root-level UID 0 user identity on non-rootable Android phones, it's just not accessible to you, it's only accessible to manufacturers and hackers. Both rootable and non-rootable phones can be rootkitted.

I should just be able to have root on the TV that I bought and paid for and own.

My first thought when seeing this is that frontier labs were already doing it.

This "succeed at all costs" culture isn't a Valley thing, it's an American thing. Look at our President.

Even the Cybertruck reservations took years to materialize, at a much higher price.

The samples used on this do not sound realistic at all. Maybe ask Claude to find better ones?

AIM's built-in HTML parser had a bunch of super-linear parser complexity bugs, leading to people building "punters".

Too bad it is all over after this year because AI killed it all :(

Right, because 99% of their customer base does not care. TikTok and YouTube work without "bridge mode," as does Fortnight / Roblox / Minecraft. Any random Comcast or AT&T Fiber subscriber on the street won't be able to tell you what "bridge mode" does.

Normies would rather just use the router that their ISP provides, or get a Google / Apple mesh network.

It looks very AI-generated.

Easier for a guy like him to be forgiven than to ask permission.

Being tenured and one of the top engineers in your company with a very proven track record gives you quite a bit more freedom.
