If you're tired of the fire department dictating street safety policy in your city, by mandating wide lanes and vetoing bike lanes, lobby your gov't to lease these European-designed fire trucks. Smaller turning circle than a Ford F-150. Battery hybrid. 7'8" wide.

Counterpoint: we live in a pretty good timeline. The Internet and credit card networks work pretty well overall. Security at this scale is inherently difficult and it's not surprising that scammers occasionally find a way in.

The conventional wisdom is that ai powered fakes will further obliterate social trust. I don’t think that’s exactly correct. I suspect it will obliterate trust is social media content, but relative to the current trend line will increase trust in established media brands.

The reason is simple: if you can’t believe your eyes and ears there’s all the sudden a lot more value in brands who you trust to vet things for you.
