I think the real reason companies are trying to avoid consumer agents is that many of their customer service strategies involve getting customers to give up and go away. But agents never give up. Business models based on upsell and friction fall apart when agents are involved.

GTA 6 lands. Your PS5 fills up. You delete games because memory is too expensive to expand. Those games lose microtransactions. Daily actives drop and never recover.

Just when you think @PalmerLuckey couldn't go any harder. It's the K-9 / Lattice singularity. Amazing.

Accept the cost of defiance and you are unoppressable.

Is there a term for supposedly premium experiences that aren't? Amex Lounges are an example. When anyone can get in, no one can get in.

Hot take: Agents will make things easier, but more expensive. Mine just modded my Sony TV in 7 minutes. Nuked the adware and bloatware, and built a custom UI. All of which used to subsidized the price. At scale, we’ll pay the real cost for a good display. Probably for the best.

I can confirm this is really easy. And really great. @grok cli/TUI just smoked this. Found the tv on the network, pulled the model, looked everythig up and walked me through a few remote control clicks. Boom. Plus, now i can customize my living room tv into the home dashboard/radiator I've wanted.
Hacked my TV with Claude Code today No more ads, bloatware, spyware or laggy UI I also got a beautiful screensaver with my revenue, calendar, weather, and notifications for new Stripe payments It was super easy! I sent it the listing for my tv, asked "can you hack this?" And it talked me through how

Fun fact, I got caught in a tornado in Rock Springs in 1995.

I find that LLMs drift and branch and leave more loose ends than they tie off. Unless I watch them like a hawk. And the smarter the model and higher the effort, the problem gets worse. Anyone have any good ideas? @dhh ?

In case you're wondering. Yes, your @CASIOJapan F-91W will survive a heavy-duty wash and dry cycle. There's a reason the Taliban rock these things.
