NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

Using AI to accelerate hiring and productivity at Zapier Lessons from Zapier’s experience building hundreds of internal AI agents to reduce engineering friction.

Neat case study from Zapier that agrees with this idea. They automated lot of onboarding so new hires have less lead time before they are productive. That removes a bottleneck and has enabled them to hire for more positions. Example of “Automation company thinks about automation good” I guess

Software engineer, editorial systems for large publisher. I agree, this stuff is very cool and speeds certain types of work up a lot, but: requires a trained software engineer and time it takes to write code isn’t the biggest bottleneck I deal with.

I would bet we will see it used as a vector for new types of prompt injection attacks. If many agents are given a prompt to go there to find instructions to do X, then it’s going to be valuable to add malicious prompts to posts about how to do x.

People using Moltbot/Openclaw are giving their agents a prompt to read and respond to Moltbook on a loop.
I imagine they will claim this helps agents “learn”, but that’s a huge leap. I don’t see how generating more slop, then searching that slop is better for an agent than searching the internet

I’m thinking more about how we’re all millions of flawed sense-making units having millions of different lived experiences of our current, utterly chaotic situation and (for the most part, the exceptions hopefully are obvious) all trying to see each other through.
