      Cave-diving is a thing. That rescue was a lot of cave-diving—and modern cave-diving is steeped in protocols, and innovation occurs within that context. Also I'm not criticizing developing a backup plan but doing it with a lot of publicity. That is a problem in rescue situations.+

      Elon deleted his tweets in response here (he called the caver who convinced the Thai authorities and brought in the divers a "pedo guy" 😬) but here's the issue in a nutshell:https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1018506650087559169 …

      But my point isn't to criticize you for exploring a back-up option (is it still in development with domain experts?) but that the kind of publicity you seek/bring has downsides whatever your intentions may be, and that, broadly, the incredible rescue has broader lessons for tech.

      So Vern is the diver who was among the first there, dug up the maps, brought in the other divers, figured out where the boys were and convinced authorities. Look beyond your irritation with his irritation and listen for a sec why he might be irritated, ok? https://edition.cnn.com/2018/07/13/uk/thai-cave-rescue-british-divers-intl/index.html …

      I read that, prior to Musk deleting the tweets (which I agree were uncalled for - I said elsewhere I think he needs to get counseling) You would have made a much better point if you'd stuck to those points rather than fashionable criticisms of SV.

      Okay but I was talking about innovation cultures, and what they can learn from each other, and why publicity and/or VIPs are a problem in rescues/disaster recovery. I didn't see that covered—otherwise I wouldn't bother. I try not to write "fashionable." No need for me.

      That's not how I or many others read your article. And the problems of media in rescues of all kinds are very well known. E.g in my copy of the cave rescue book On Call... and it's the pre-twitter 2001 edition. :)pic.twitter.com/7McxCNIsbY

      I didn't say I discovered media as a problem in rescues! Lol, of course not. Every rescuer knows this. But I'm gonna go with covered in 2001 dead-tree book that's not even well-known outside the rescue community as not fashionable enough for me to avoid writing about. 😃

      Well, thats kinda the problem... What public good did your article actually serve? Could you have done better? What I'm seeing is more entertainment than enlightenment. A better ratio than most, but still bad.

      Nope. It perfectly encapsulated a serious problem that propagates across my industry and others at the moment. That innovation is only disruptive, and this is being driven by the attitudes of SV.

      It's a huge stretch to talk about a metal tube with scuba tanks and regulators strapped to the side as "disruptive"... The solution used was more arguably disruptive: a risky set of drugs, full face masks, and audacity to do something never done before.

      It could be terrible at the hands of a billionnaire-struck official—distracting/wasting precious time/attention at best. Needed to be on the quiet side--fly in cavers, engineers, divers, work on it. Maybe one tweet: anyone who can help, email this account we'll bring you in. imo

          Sadly I think the lesson to be learned there is strongly consider not helping at all. Even if you go down that route I can easily see todays media/social media hyping up an unintentional leak that a major company was involved and still creating a shit storm.

          Musk is the one who created this shit storm by publicizing his every move to the media he has long groomed to amplify his Storys, often successfully to drive up Tesla's share price. No, a quiet approach wouldn't have caused this backlash.

          Nope. His wretched response to light-hearted criticism proves that this was precisely the PR stunt it was called out to be.
