here are three potential issues:

1. there is a short term incentive for lying -- tricking people can get you a long way (e.g. delve)

2. there's a genuine long term incentive for selling products that have short term benefit but long term harm (e.g. gambling, cigarettes, etc).

3. there is a durable incentive to sell products that genuinely benefit for your customers but cause net harm to society -- this last one is a hard problem of capitalism, and imo it's the gov'ts job to make sure that such companies are not allowed to win.

if the translation is good enough to solve their problem, then it doesn't need to be any better.

not because their skills are no longer relevant, but because they are taking a principled stance defending now irrelevant skills.

primary inputs while driving are buttons and knobs

the interiors are nice, but overall imo the car is a design failure.

however while folks are negative on Ive for the car shape, he only designed the interiors not the car body, and the interiors are kinda lovely car interior design:

-no touchscreen (dangerous while driving) -clicky, intuitive tactile switches and buttons -thoughtful use of color (display base color changes based on driving mode)

I mean even just looking at those air conditioning vents (rotate vent to open/close) is classive Ive: intuitive but sophisticated.

I hope more manufacturers copy these new/old patterns on the interiors.

why build this? because email marketing a/b tests come at a big cost -- every a/b test run burns through a company's actual human audience.

what if you could learn which campaigns are more likely to resonate with customers by a/b testing against a fleet of (hundreds, thousands, millions) of customer agents?

each agent is grounded in your target customer persona, sees an identical inbox of e-com promotions (except for your A/B email), and has a limited budget of email opens, clicks, and money to spend.

optimized metrics include open rate, click rate, and conversion rate.

goal is to predict whether email A or email B will perform better with your audience, not predict real revenue numbers.

^ this statement is false. typing infinitely fast would make software development much faster.

typing infinitely fast would not make shipping useful products and features instantaneous, because there is product, technical, and organizational uncertainty that requires iteration and "cross functional collaboration" to figure out.

but ai can make each iteration step a lot faster.

I was having a hard time explaining how my OpenClaw ai engineering orchestrator runs a structured engineering process by dispatching tasks to OpenAI Codex or Claude Code

...so i rendered it into a video game.

watch a team of Claude-powered ai employees compete against team OpenAI on real Kopi AI engineering tasks.

you are seeing a visualization of 51 actual tasks executed on by a team of openclaw AI engineers during March 2026

these engineers all follow the same structured process.

a task is created by me from slack, and the ai starts a structured process to execute on the task

each desk represents a sub-task dispatched to this employee's coding agent -- either claude code or openai codex

in this way we have two competing teams of ai engineers -- openai vs claude -- you can see each team's score on the left

every employee plans, builds, audits, fixes, tests, and if thye are succesful, creates a PR.

Sometimes they have to audit and fix in a loop several times before they get approval.

if their PR is successfully merged, they get a quick moment to enjoy the plants on the top floor, and then it's back to work.

Sophie is one of our star employees, but not everyone is doing so well.

Sometimes tasks don't get merged, and they fail.

this openclaw engineering system is called b0b, and it's open source on github

learns about your brand and creates custom email graphics for headers etc

pretty cool what gpt-image-1 can do
