Folks use AI (LLMs) to send emails and even full on reports.

And, the same folks use AI (LLMs) to summarize emails and even full on reports.

They write a concise prompt with attached data to expand into an email or report only to have it compressed into a concise summary with attached data.

Just send the concise prompt with attached data. Send it as a bullet point list. Its easier to write and easier to send and easier to read and cheaper and so on.

They use LLMs to write reports because they dont want to spend the time and effort to write, and they use LLMs to read reports because they dont want to spend the time and effort to read.

So dont do either.

Just send the short message (prompt) directly and remove the fluff expander / fluff condenser middle man entirely.

If hopelessness has made a home in your heart, it cannot be dislodged easily or all at once. Chip away at it with small victories, moments of hope and defiance. It is not easy and it will take time and effort, but strive to make it an uncomfortable home, a place where despair is no longer welcome.

Unpopular opinion: it’s actually good that it’s hard to make software and that it takes a long time.

Saves people from a lot of bad software and from a lot of unwanted updates. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you have fifteen minutes, the Tiny Angry Witch is good for a laugh.

A really neat idea.
