there's just inherently a greater perceived risk with instinct for the consumer when the path to recourse is not clear

in my first job i got a nit on one of my PRs that the comment in the code was too long for a single line and it made it hard to review, and that i should split it up into multiple lines

im so happy that world of programming is gone

Honestly the thing that motivated me to do this episode was learning that there's less than $200M/year of smart philanthropy on factory farming - GLOBALLY.

Just to explain how fucking crazy that is:

1. It's insane how cheap the interventions that will spare BILLIONS of animals from gruesome, painful fates have been.
Less than $200M has been spent getting corporate commitments that have already spared more than 400M hens from battery cages, and securing pledges that will spare billions more over the years to come. That’s < $1 per 10 years of animal well-being improved.
Another example: In-ovo sexing (which determines the sex of eggs pre-birth) has already saved 200M male chicks from maceration at birth (with the potential to spare 7 billion every year). And it only cost ~$10 million to get off the ground.

2. 80 billion land animals are factory farmed every year. That means the ratio is $1 donated : 40,000 animals.

3. Compared to the amount of private philanthropy alone on global health ($50b+/year) or climate change ($15b+/year), the <$200M/year of smart money spent on factory farming is nothing.
—
The way we treat factory farmed animals is one of the worst atrocities in history. And unfortunately, the problem is on track to get worse every year.

The case for optimism: Given how neglected this issue is, the scope of impact even one individual can have is absolutely massive.

To be blunt, there are individual readers of this tweet who could DOUBLE the amount of smart money our entire civilization dedicates to this issue. Even with a few million dollars, you could single-handedly improve the lives of millions of factory-farmed animals.

@janwilmake People are already generating trivial MCPs from OpenAPIs. Maybe Anthropic's MCP registry will have all kinds of deep integrations

We're in the era just before DNS for agents.
So much progress is locked behind getting agents registered. IE internet for agents
