I'd prefer you send the whole thing. That say I don't have to divide my attention....but yeah, you're right. I've noticed lots of people respond to the buzz words but not really the root of what is trying to be addressed. It's disheartening sometimes. I'm learning to accept that not everyone is who they claim to be...and that's ok.

I think some people are turned off by any use of LLM as a fast typist. I know that was me until I bumped into @Lord Stretch and started to see how he was using LLMs.

Thanks so much for the feedback!

Not sure whether I have a preference, but email if only because I am literally in the midst of culling the people I follow and/or have subscribed to on here. Just disabled notifications again because overwhelmed by the constant distraction. I value what you contribute even if I don't always have the time or bandwidth to contribute much if anything. As I become more selective, that may change. Lifelong learning is optimized when communication is flowing in both directions is my opinion.

So agreed. I learn so much from when there are interactions rather than only broadcasts.

Thank you so much for the feedback!

Russell, I've just subscribed. Your questions and journey is similar to mine. Have you read @TheVerticalDispatch ?

My interest is in larger governance and worldview questions, not specific to LLMs or technology governance. Technology governance was my focus for much of my earlier IT career, but I’ve moved up the stack since then (ISO 7 layer — unofficially Layer 8: The User / The Human Factor, Layer 9: Politics / Management), to thinking about worldviews, cosmologies, metaphysics, etc.

My “questions” regularly rattle people, as I ask things which other people tend to take as axioms.  There are more questions that came to my mind with your answer on “How to Read a Military Parade as a Cultural Text”, but I have learned not to ask.
