Thanks for this reminder about the cost variable.

How much of that do you think is meant for PR vs. actual protection against mass domestic surveillance and autonomous weapon kill orders having a person in the loop?

Anyone know how many data breaches occur on a monthly basis that would require credit monitoring?

I understand the knee-jerk reaction to restrict LLM's, but that feels like a failing prospect. They're going to be doing an incredible amount of heavy lifting on code generation, so why would you intentionally cut out what will likely be 90% or more of potential contributions? Wouldn't it be better to come up with a system that tags the type of contributor, ie. human vs. AI? What about building an Agentic architecture that reduces your review burden? Just a thought.

This looks like it requires a heavy amount of discipline to track everything consistently over time. How do you build that into your daily routine?

This is cool, but my handwriting is illegible so only a handful of people would be able to read it. Love the idea, though.
