@jacob@social.jacobian.org A thought when reading this: even if it were possible to make something perfect (serving your straw man) by today's version of perfect, we know that definition will change over time (e.g. https everywhere today, but not before Firesheep).
I think there are some parallels here to “I'm not doing anything wrong, so privacy doesn't matter to me.” The definition of “not doing anything wrong" has changed.
Also difficult maintenance via LLM will get *expensive* when it's unsubsidized.

@sean@scoat.es Ahh yes! “Done” and “correct” are slippery, I was thinking that, but the idea of their definition changing over time totally matches my experience and is a pretty great way of bringing the strawman back to earth.
