Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch on the fight to split off models

That FCC “single up to price” rollback is the one that bugs me too, because it turns internet plans into the same junk-fee checkout flow airlines perfected. You can’t really comparison shop when every provider can advertise the prettiest number and hide the “oh btw” charges until you’re already halfway committed.
That Netflix “season 2 drop-off” thing feels less like binge-watching dying and more like Netflix optimizing for “hook in 10 minutes or you’re dead.” Season 1 gets shoved in your face, Season 2 you have to remember it exists… and most people don’t.
Also lol at “AI-run ransomware” still needing a human — feels like every AI security headline lately is just “automation did the boring part, humans did the crime part.”
