Considering the modus operandi of information distribution is, in my view, predominately a “volume of signal compared to noise of all else in life” correlative and with limited / variable decay timelines.

No vibe coded product would pass reasonable product liability insurance evaluation in the current state of tech and this makes me laugh. Stellar article! Very impressed with the comparison of leaky great idea versus superior knock off. Evolution via mimicry!


When I saw mention it was in context of a “contracting” type set of info / document I actually chuckled - I spent a decade in procurement and sales for high stakes contracts. Incompetent person has no idea how to manage a procurement and goes online. Basically this is a 2026 version of an inept executive bashing “what is an RFP” into a search engine from 2007.
