Summary

Domo chief design officer Chris Willis questions why more people aren’t annoyed with AI companies that pushed technology upon users prematurely, causing a “tremendous amount of anxiety.” He argues that AI models are “a product without a spec” — the feature spec being “it’ll do anything for anyone, anyhow, in any language.” Willis calls out “tokenmaxxing” as theater that doesn’t change the bottom line, warning that “fear is not a durable strategy for innovating.” The post scored 81 points on Hacker News.
