Speed actually just wins, because we are usually constrained by time.
Sorry, but I don’t understand what you mean here. What do we win by being faster at producing the wrong things?

You learn more quickly that you are producing the wrong thing.

This implies that
1) a lot of shallow, orthogonal directions is better than 1 deep, careful approach
2) There's no social aspect to churning out a bunch of slop that will affect the perception of potential "right things" later. My domain can be particularly grudgeful in this regard.

1) If there is uncertainty, that seems to be correct, yes. (If there is no uncertainty, then the question and the essay become moot: You already know what to do. Things take as long as they must. Worst case, you are wrong.)
2) I read that part twice and could not figure out what it is you are trying to say.
Do you ? It takes a some introspection. People can be in denial despite the feedback from reality.

Yes, AI can emit BS at a faster rate than ever. We can also produce more blog posts than ever.
Working or useful software? AI hasn't produced any at all since 2023.

Wow, an account, just for that? I feel honored and slightly suspicious.
