    I am hearing this term for the first time but I love it. It is novel and creates a picture. Exactly what Scott Adams says about labels used for persuasion. I usually say "highly tr…

    Everyone seems to be missing the point. Using an LLM to perform book keeping like this is akin to a business in the dot-com era hiring a programmer to help them go online. But sinc…

    I am in that trap myself. I am doing work that I like, at a pay that I like but "something" has been missing for a long time. Two decades ago, back in my grad school days, I used t…

    I didn't mention any particular sense about application inside an application. I did say how it "feels like to me" and how my brain fails to handle it. There is a clear shift of mo…
