If we revisit these posts in a week, a month and then a year my question is: was it useful? Are others building off of this, still?

My is answer right now is: you can't answer that question yet and the fact that you are looking for immediate validation showcases you're just building random things. Which is great if that's what you want to do. But is it truly novel or compelling? Given you just move on to the next thing, there seems to be a lack of direction and in that regard I would say: no.

Just because you're doing more doesn't mean anything unless it's truly useful for you or others. I just don't think that's the case here. It's a new of form of move fast and break things. And while that can have net positives, we also are very aware it has many net negatives.



My major open source projects get a lot of use. I wouldn't classify them as "just random things".

I don't think you're familiar with my work at all.


In my view your open source projects don't align with what you've, mostly, written about. This is in the context of your AI posts. I am familiar with your work and my perspective is still the same. You can think whatever you want, but let's call a spade a spade: I'm not the lone wolf with this perspective. Because, as can be viewed in this thread, others have a similar opinion.


I'm very happy with the quality of my writing on LLMs.

I finally turned a corner last year where I’m generally pleased with how well my older posts hold up rather than wishing I’d done better.
