In principle interesting, but I can't stand the Claude writing.

The whole post looks like a Claude artifact with random little cards.

It's also just too long, which is a side effect of using LLMs, it's just too easy to create walls of text.

Wouldn’t it just be easier to crawl the net? Not sure what huggingface has to do with anything here.

I guess Huggingface datasets are easy to crawl - those datasets are hosted to be crawled. In contrast to the web at large which will be behind Cloudflare etc

I similarly find it interesting; I do not understand why it is not the default to just generate the thing as a draft, research anything you aren’t clear on, and re-write it in your own voice.

That takes a level of taste and craft that many in this industry do not possess.

Ever read a book by Yuval Noah Harari? He seems to have been writing like this since before LLMs. Perhaps that’s where they got it from.
