> In 2025, the number of data compromises in the United States stood at 3,322 cases. Meanwhile, over 278.83 million individuals were affected in the same year by data compromises, including data breaches, leakage, and exposure. While these are three different events, they have one thing in common. As a result of all three incidents, the sensitive data is accessed by an unauthorized threat actor.

Between the number of public hacks, and the odious security policies that most orgs have, end users are fucking numb to anything involving "security". We're telling them to close the door cause it's cold, when all the windows are blown out by a tornado.

Meanwhile, the people who are using this tool are getting it to DO WHAT THEY WANT. My ex, is non technical, and is excited that she "set up her first cron job".

The other "daily summaries" use case is powerful. Why? Because our industry has foisted off years of enshitification on users. It declutters the inbox. It returns text free of ads, adblock, extra "are you a human" windows, captchas.

The same users who think "ai is garbage at my work" are the ones who are saying "ai is good at stripping out bullshit from tech".

Meanwhile we're arguing about AI hype (sam Altman: AGI promises) and hate (AI cant code at all).

The last time our industry got things this wrong, was the dot com bubble.

Meanwhile none of these tools have a moat (Claude is the closest and it could get dethroned every day). And we're pouring capital into this that will result in an uber like price hike/rug pull, till we scale the tools down (and that is becoming more viable).
