And in one study, the humans reviewing that work caught about thirteen percent of the harmful changes. The AI, checking itself, caught eighty nine. The safety step everyone trusts turned out to be theatre.
Today on ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ค๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ง, Quentin and Stark pull this week's theme out of that flip: ๐๐จ๐ค๐๐ง๐ฌ. ๐๐ก๐ ๐ง๐๐ฐ ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐จ๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐๐ง๐๐.
Intelligence is getting cheap, but a new bill takes its place every time, and one of them is your attention.
The numbers behind the flip:ย
๐ ๐๐% of the AI's change requests were being approved. Asked to say yes that often, people stop reading
๐ Human reviewers caught ๐๐% of genuinely harmful actions; the automatic checker caught ๐๐%
๐ Auto mode users shipped about ๐๐% more work, because they weren't stopping every few seconds to approve
The lesson is not hand everything over. It's that a wall of meaningless approvals is fake safety, and it costs you: your time, and the money burned while you click. Real control is narrow. Let AI run the reversible work, and put a genuine human decision only on the few things you cannot undo, sending money, deleting data, anything a customer sees.
Your move:ย
๐ด Send routine jobs to a cheaper model, keep the premium one for hard work.ย
๐ด Name the few actions AI must never take alone.ย
๐ด Let it run everything else, so the approvals you do see actually mean something.
Cheap thinking is here. Spend your money and your attention like they're the expensive part now. ๐๏ธ
