Blog: AI: too good to be true, too bad to be useful (2026-06-19)
TL;DR Stub page. The body of this post was not captured —
raw/site/blog-too-good-to-be-true.txtcontains only the page chrome, because the article body is rendered client-side. Do not cite anything from this post beyond the metadata and teaser below until it is re-ingested.

Homepage teaser
The only substantive sentence available, from the blog carousel on https://typesafe.ai:
"RLHF-trained language models please humans and assist rather than make reliable autonomous decisions. What comes next?"
That framing matches the company's other writing — RLHF optimizes for human preference, which yields assistants rather than components software can depend on — but the post's actual argument, examples, and any numbers are unknown. Anything beyond the teaser would be speculation.
Re-ingestion note
This page should be rewritten once the body is captured. The raw capture is the pre-hydration HTML/text of a client-rendered page. To re-ingest, fetch the post with a renderer that executes JavaScript (headless browser) or find a server-rendered variant, replace raw/site/blog-too-good-to-be-true.txt, then rewrite this page with: thesis, structure, claims, and links, and raise confidence. It is the oldest of the three captured TypeSafe posts, so it likely contains the earliest public statement of the System One thesis (inferred).
