Publishing “that ship has sailed” earlier than others actively drives the ship. I notice that this feels terrible, but I don’t know where sensible lines are to draw in situations where there’s no existing institution that can deliver a more coordinated stop/go signal for the ship. I relatedly notice that allowing speed to make things unstoppable means any beneficial decision-affecting processes that can’t be or haven’t been adapted to much lower latencies lose all their results to a never-ending stream of irrelevance timeouts. I have no idea what to do here, and that makes me sad.
