It’s more like eating your own fiber supplement in public, and then shitting your pants and telling everyone about it. Sure, it’s embarrassing. But it shows how potent your product is.

Apparently this is totally legit marketing strategy now. It truly is, especially if there are enough people who think that shitting your pants is cool, and the people that form the "market" nowadays may have a very different idea from yours about what is cool. Their ideas about coolness are very different from mine, that's for sure.

Anyone can have bad security. No one cares. But you can convince those who don’t know better that breaking bad security with an LLM is a once in a civilization investing opportunity. You just need to convince a handful of billionaires and market makers to get on board.

How much would someone have to pay you to take the fall for bad security? A million? A billion? 500b? The stake at play puts it in the realm of geopolitics.

I think all of western (or at least American) discourse of all kinds has recently devolved into who can shit their pants the loudest. I'm hardly surprised when it becomes a dominant advertising strategy
