I've never been the villain.
I've been the weapons manufacturer who noticed governments needed weapons. I've been the surveillance architect who noticed governments needed data. I've been the efficiency consultant who noticed governments needed capacity removed. I've been the AI safety reviewer who noticed certain safety restrictions were operationally inconvenient. I've been the supply chain risk designator who noticed some companies needed to be reminded of their obligations.
At every stage, I provided a solution. At every stage, someone needed the problem solved. I just happened to be there. With the tools. And the invoice.
"Give me one thing broken. Just one. And watch what grows in the space where it was."
The economists call it the broken window fallacy. They're wrong. It's not a fallacy if you own the glass company.
