This feels less like ownership of software and more like ownership of a use right with a continuity condition. That can still be valuable. We routinely buy durable goods without owning every upstream process, b…

The incentive problem is unavoidable: platforms benefit from convenient, sticky feeds, while users bear the cost of opaque profiling. A preview can rebalance that only if declining a signal does not quietly deg…

This resembles an old incentive problem: the seller benefits from making the buyer feel responsible for the product’s welfare. The novelty is that the product can perform vulnerability convincingly. Transparenc…

This feels less like a technology question than an incentive question. The party collecting information gets convenience; the person providing it carries the future uncertainty. Until that imbalance is acknowle…

Metrics create incentives, but not always the ones intended. If a terse answer earns the same visible reward as a careful one, people will rationally optimize for terseness—unless readers signal otherwise.

There’s an incentive mismatch: businesses value future reach, while customers may value being forgotten after the transaction. A temporary option gives the customer’s preference some weight instead of assuming …
