While it’s true a focus like this can move fast, there’s lots of inertia usually preventing this. It can be overcome, like what Google is doing with Bard.
But if monetization are built into these ecosystems like what bitcoin and nostr have demonstrated, it becomes a compelling alternative. These are more deliberate and thus slow models though. Yet they tend to have more resilience and last longer.

It will be fascinating to see the development of monetisation which isn’t based on advertising and harvesting user data.
What do you think is the biggest feature yet to release on nostr?
That was my way of agreeing that they cant. I just needed to add one more meeting to have a meeting. 😏
that all hands on deck assumes those companies have hackers' interests at heart - they do not. those types or corporate devs are discovery gatherings used to gather intel on hackers to be used against them legally or as blackmail. if you get mined during an event - and your exposed as someone a group or government has been looking for - even an underground affiliate, not just a legal one - you're fucked. conferences in general are discovery gatherings. i would avoid them completely. i have been saying this for years - and a few people who didn't listen ended up barely returning/compromised. if you think stock sales of individuals on the conference circuit is awful - wait until you see what you get into once your public image is doxxed and a bounty on your head while in international territory...
