I recently had the displeasure of consulting a start-up whose pitch was a heavy technical infrastructure solution for other developers. I can't really give details, but their pitch felt to me like hearing about AWS in 2010... then I go

Would having all data produced by a DID being verifiable mean that I could stop any nugget of information coming out of that producer from reaching me just by a simple computation?

If you have more money than time, you’re not going to start shifting through templates, configuring stuff, dealing with bugs, updating it, generating strange AI logos etc.

I’ve had my self-whatever vacuum and mop for awhile now and I still look at it proudly as it mops the house. I do feel a sort of spirit in the machine for these new AI gadgets, even though I am aware of the reality of it.

My great-grandma was born in 1920 and died in 2020. She was lucid to her final breath. I spent a lot of time talking to her about the ‘before times’. She was a sucker for this new world. She loved it. Much more than her world from the 20s.
