Perhaps you could submit something you're curious about, instead?
Hi, author here. I write about what I'm curious about. I don't think it's promotion (both in spirit or letter) to share what I am curious about. I hate just linking to <openai blog / anthropic blog / karpathy twitter / tech crunch / engadget> without any commentary, since that has very low value-above-replacement.
I'm curious why you went into my posting history -- do you do that for every post?
[EDIT] to be clear this isnt written by AI, despite a few people seemingly tripped up by it. Check pangram if you doubt
Someone did that for one of my comments recently. It was a strange feeling, having been raised in the ‘New Criticism’ tradition.
I guess they had doubts of my motives, and believed the “shortcut” to answer their concern was to survey my past work to look for more examples of the negative pattern they feared.
