My one-sentence summary of the AI right now is that it does amazing stuff but it has a high error rate.
This is why it both impresses and frustrates: the times it does really well go viral on twitter, the times it makes a mistake frustrate people using it as a work aid.

The "centralized anything is evil by default, use defi and self-custody" ethos did very well this week, but remember that it too has risks: bugs in smart contract code.
Important to guard against it:
* Keep code simple
* Audits, formal verification, etc
* Defense in depth

Or put another way, everyone who failed is staying silent to avoid the feeling of embarrassment.
Publicly admitting failures is an underrated and brave thing to do, because it provides society with useful information that we need in order to not get a distorted view of the world

I'd add that technology for coordinating and coming to large-scale agreements (eg. pol.is ) is one of the industries that needs to be accelerated.
