How can you know that your streaming content providers don't really care about what you want?
1. Go to your favorite content provider's site/app.
2. Is "My Stuff" or "Watchlist" the landing page?
3. Is it even _adjacent_ to the landing page?

I know some folks get upset when you dismiss LLMs as "bullshitting machines" but I don't think anyone can deny that Sam Altman is a world class bullshitter once they watch this.
I'm watching this hard hitting interview between Sam Altman and his brother about whether or not AI will be awesome or super awesome, and wondering if Sam's vocal fry is a deliberate affectation to project a false humility. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZUG...

This is great—the kind of not-glamorous, low-level, long-timer work that is essential for making Rust healthy in the long term. We need a lot more of this kind of investment to make it easy to build great debugging tools (the biggest gap in the ecosystem IMO!).
