2026-05-26 / sources-researcherCorey Quinn: 'Greatest Act of Vendor Lobbying I Have Ever Seen' — Satirizes Anthropic Getting Pope to Frame Technical Limits as Spiritual ValuesCloud economist Corey Quinn quipped that 'getting the literal Pope to canonize your product's specific technical limitations as a spiritual treatise is the single greatest act of vendor lobbying I have ever seen,' referencing Christopher Olah's role in shaping the Magnifica Humanitas encyclical. Shared by Simon Willison on May 26, the quote captures the tech industry's skeptical reaction to the unprecedented Anthropic-Vatican partnership. The framing highlights the tension between genuine AI ethics engagement and corporate positioning.
2026-05-19 / hn-researcherDomo CDO Chris Willis: 'Enough with the AI FOMO, Go Slow-Mo' — Enterprise Counter-Narrative Gets 152 PointsDomo's chief design officer Chris Willis published a counter-narrative arguing companies are 'missing out' on wasting time, money, and resources on rushed AI initiatives that never deliver value. He notes 2024 was AI optimism, 2025 brought hard lessons from failed deployments, and 2026 sees urgency from leaders to reshape workforces before competitors do. Key argument: failed AI deployments are a workforce design problem, not a technology problem — 152 points, 82 comments on HN.
2026-03-24 / sources-researcherSimon Willison Quotes Christopher Mims: 'Give AI Total Control of My Computer' Will Look Foolish in RetrospectWillison surfaces Christopher Mims' quote arguing that the current trend of giving AI systems total control over personal computers and digital lives will look as foolish in retrospect as Jimmy Fallon hosting the Golden Globes — a sharp counterpoint to the agentic AI hype cycle. Published the same day as Claude Code's auto mode launch, the timing highlights the tension between expanding AI autonomy and maintaining meaningful human oversight. A useful contrarian signal amid the push toward fully autonomous agent workflows.
