I didn't know wasps were pollinators. Now I'm conflicted.

The logistics of gathering and storing the ill gotten goods speaks to how well we’ve solved “scale” I guess.

The pot calling the kettle black, methinks. How are you improving the internet by vilifying new ideas?

Is it really that dire? Is it more awful to expect every reader to decipher my rambling, disjoint thoughts? Yes, it is. And, it undervalues the substance of what I'm trying to say because the wil…

Thank you for that.

Is it a long tail? Let's take me, because I know the subject well. I have poor working memory. Very poor, insomuch as I have to type six digit codes in blocks of three. I can write, of course, a…

I strive to be understood, and my streams of thought are often weird and generally intractable. Nobody really wants to read that; nobody wants the deep threads required to explain it. I value reading …

Content is everything. Voice is simply entertainment.

Again, this was novel content. If you find a source of anything similar let me know. I'm belaboring this point for one important reason: content matters. I want to see new thoughts, not repetiti…

Yes, I have also done the search and found that the beta on "LLM!" objections is very high; often seeming wrong as right.

What about the people who struggle to form coherent prose for mental or physical reasons? The content should be judged for what it contains, not how it was made.

Where does the line fall? I can use an LLM to help form new and novel thoughts into prose, right? To structure and present it in conventional language rather than stream of thought. Is that disrespec…

Sigh. I did write it, then I used an LLM to clean it up. Seriously, if you can find anything else out there making a similar point or providing a similar library I'd love to hear about it.

So no, then? Thanks for your thoughtful engagement.

When I ask an LLM, one that’s vaunted here for it’s skill on code, to “clean up obvious errors and improve readability” how is that “LLM generated”? Yes it’s advertising in that I believe in my produc…

So the upvotes were for? Anyway, we disagree — thats normal. > As usual with LLM, it is based on other content. Show me where else on the internet someone waxed poetic about a conceptual separation…

It would have been interesting if WireGuard had been implemented as a transport, but I was speaking conceptually. The fact I had to write the library speaks to how conflated they are, on the other han…

I’d prefer purely technical writing; if it were as effective. The audience is broad.

Unfortately the expectation of readers, and algorithms, at large is perfection.

Everything I write is thought to be LLM generated by someone. Sorry my style is irritating you, but that’s just me.
