let's map out the game theory options:
- Don't block agents and turns out to be a good move for business
- Don't block agents and turns out to be disastrous for their company in long run as they lose customer relationship
- Block agents and turns out to be bad move that they correct after some time, no long term impact
- Block agents and turns out to be smart move that saves company
which option seems safest, least likely to have long term downside impacts given this?

I don't know, even if we can critique from the peanut gallery what they're doing as wrong I still don't see it as "short-sighted". Like, they could just flip the decision at any given point and no one would really care, the customers using agents are relatively tiny and would come back, it's unlikely there are long term ramifications from blocking some agents. So the long-term decision is to make sure it's the right one for their company, and if they don't know that yet, then blocking the agents might make sense in the short term until they have a strategy that they think is conducive for their company's long term success

I donβt really get this take. Companies wanna own their customer relationship. Even if the end state is that they have to defer to other companies agents why would they make that transition quicker if they can help it? seems rational to me
almost every company in the health industrial complex is focused on INFORMATION.
we already have the entire corpus of human knowledge at our finger tips yet many still choose to eat at McDonald's and live sedentary lives.
information is not the bottleneck.
people need help taking ACTION
same with genome sequencing.
it'll tell you something like "eat healthy cuz you have increased chance of getting alzheimers".
okay.
no one was going to McDonald's cuz they thought it was healthy for them.
the 100+ biomarker craze is insane.
for vast majority of people it is simply a roundabout way to tell you what you already know - eat better, move more, sleep consistently.
you are much better off paying a coach and getting daily accountability to actually execute on a plan.

Itβs hard to become a master at anything else with confidence at least if you havenβt become a master of your own body
Yeah, I get it. You're excited. Everyone's excited. But a lot of people are also fucking terrified, bro. Like, do you not get that? Like, YOU GUYS are also terrified.
So why would you be hyping it up so mucj?
imagine the Manhattan Project folks being like, "Oppenheimer's fucking locked in bro"
as peter said in the comments let the work talk you don't need to rile the crowd up more
these guys are sitting on this technology that's going to alter the livelihood of so many people and they can't stop vague posting and hyping about it and keep raising people's anxiety about it.
the lack of EQ is insane.

@Supertake Iβd like to long Golf or other leisure sports plz and thank you
Predicting an imminent rise in sports like golf where you can easily be working all day outside while enjoying life. Would say there at least a few year window where this becomes a standard way of working for many.
The last hurrah of knowledge work
The near future of knowledge work is everyone out and about doing their hobbies and stuff while managing personal agents with their voice
Also wow a concussion is weird. Itβs like a headache that changes location every day. And I had no major wipeout or anything, tbh I think Iβm just use to punching through whitewash and my theory is it kinda of just compounded over time idk.
It was bizarre
I dunno how long humans will still need to be in the loop at all but at least as long as we do are getting knowledge work done on a computer while not at a computer is phenomenal.
I got a concussion surfing this week. Doc says I have to greatly minimize screen time.
So Iβve completely put my laptop away and getting work done with voice via dot or other agent while outside.
Itβs pretty obvious this is the near future of knowledge work and itβs incredible
