Or more generally: it’s perhaps not the best idea to make the entirety of your reasoning ability dependant on something external to you. Doubly so if that’s a tool with a subscription model.

The similar comparison I enjoy is “a golden retriever on LSD”.

If you apply the dogs on acid mental model it helps establish appropriate levels of trust.

For context: personally strongly in favour of legislation that will kneecap algorithmic feeds in almost any way.

A big concern with these (and other associated laws) being pushed through is it grants the eSafety Commissioner powers to edict what’s allowed.

That position is appointed, not elected.

Similar environment, identical experience.

Fixing something that’s visibly and publicly broken (or able to be sold) gets immediate praise. Preventing that issue before it occurs is thankless and invisible.

There are people doing that invisible work in every org. They normally become visible around a week after they quit.
