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

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

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€

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
