Whether this has to do with AI or not, it’s just a good rule of thumb. Don’t be someone else’s hype man if you don’t understand what you’re hyping. 425748

Reposted by Sam BristowAlice I Cecile @alice-i-cecile.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Much the same in software. There must be a new synthesis position that we need *model-building* with AI, not just bug-fixing. We cannot build things worth keeping and sharing by stumbling forward ever faster. You need to be able to understand what you're building and why, and share it with others. 2363

Sam Bristow @sam-bristow.bsky.social · 15/09/2025I went along to the flower markets a couple of times as a kid. They used to run them as reverse-auctions (price goes down on a timer until someone bids). It seemed like a pretty reasonable way to do price discovery on a perishable, roughly interchangeable product fairly quickly. 010
