Move Fast and Break Things
AI Key Takeaways
- There is a tendency after things work to create a narrative fallacy because it feeds your ego and you want to have been the person that saw it coming.

- Moving fast without also aggressively picking up the lessons from the mistakes you make can be dangerous, as it can lead to mistakes that compound.
- When an industry becomes critical, you need to slow down and take the time to measure the implications of your actions before implementing them.
