LLMs have achieved extraordinary & corrosive success by treating all speech as fundamentally strategic https://open.substack.com/pub/hiphination/p/assertion-as-strategy-versus-assertion
Assertion as Strategy versus Assertion as Expression

Do we really need to always be strategic?

ā€œI need to build a framework that helps all these different tools work together smoothly, like the different instruments in an orchestra. If only there were someone with this role in a real-life orchestra, then my metaphor would be truly complete!ā€

Software engineers really need to learn a bit more about classical music, if only to help them understand the difference between the role of a conductor and an orchestrator

Where did Aurora come from? I feel like they have absolutely cornered the stuffed animal market, yet I donā€™t remember ever seeing them when I was growing up

sadly, twitter was the only platform that consistently provided some semblance of consistent positive feedback. too bad i canā€™t countenance returning there!

in theory, this should be fine: ā€œdo what you enjoy, donā€™t care about what other people thinkā€

unfortunately, i find it very difficult to ignore this deafening silence, which seems to be shouting ā€œTHIS IS BORING AND WORTHLESSā€

if i had the courage of my convictions, maybe i could ignore it? but as it stands, it is a drain on my enthusiasm for the project

it is rather discouraging that the main creative activity i do, which occupies a substantial portion of my free time and the bulk of which i put out into the world for free (http://www.skeletontrivia.com), is mostly ignored by my friends and family

itā€™s very hard to avoid drawing the conclusion that this thing iā€™m making is bad, i am doing a bad job at it

Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly important

Why? Because others will see you do them, and it will make it easier for them to take their own (slightly less lonely but equally beautiful) action by your side
