People’s primary residences are more than just an economic asset. If you don’t understand that, it’s difficult to have a conversation as we have very different starting points about morality.

I don’t want my country to force old people to either move from their home, or take out risky debt.

There are absolutely problems and prop 13 has been awful for California but it’s a red herring to worry about the primary residence exceptions.

Or did they make a fatally wrong diagnosis that was only discovered because the old doctor whipped out their medical encyclopedias? You left us hanging without the relevant part of the story!

I read the whole thing as coordinated behavior to reduce the breakneck pace of 2026.

But in this case I appreciated the summary so i didn’t have to waste any time on the article.

Hopefully next time, my agent will read it all for me and make this comment.

It is my personally optimistic perspective on AI that it will mediate all interactions with 3P who are acting in their own interest and not mine. Ie, “my” agent.

I’ve already used it to handle customer support request calls. I see 30+ minute hold+conversation times and generally the issue gets resolved. That is hugely empowering.

Something like declaring agents as representatives of consumers and blocking them violates ADA or just shouldn’t be allowed unless they are abusive.

Lacking that, it seems it’ll be an arms race between offense and defense. At some point, computer control probably wins (running my browser, on my computer, is pretty difficult to detect with reasonable f1 score)

Whether that is useful measurement I suppose depends on the circumstances.

“Would you rather have these services or no services” is how I heard it once.
