In concept I’m a huge fan of porting infrastructural code to Rust/memory safe languages, but shipping broken code — especially code that causes silent data loss — doesn’t help that cause.

Sequoia Capital just showed us exactly what “institutional neutrality” means—when billions are at stake. Sumaiya Balbale—the firm’s chief operating officer, a Shake Shack board member, someone “well regarded internally and by the start-ups she worked with as an experienced operating executive”—resigned in August after complaining about partner Shaun Maguire’s Islamophobic posts. Senior partners declined to discipline him, citing free speech.

More than *anything* the people who actually know how technology works, who actually build things, wish that people would treat LLMs like every other technology, and be normal about them. Don't build a religion about them, don't force them on people, don't ignore the problems. Just be normal.
