  • I use it once in a blue moon and every time think it wasn’t really worth my time.

    For creative pursuits, it defeats the purpose of why I’m doing the activity.

    For factual pursuits at work, I need to 100% back my answer. Like put my signature to it, testify on a witness stand confident. When I make assumptions in my logic, I need to be able to identify and clearly articulate them. And LLMs are only as good as “highly probable” by their nature.



  • The article on Tadeusz Kościuszko, Polish military genius and aid to Washington and the colonialists during the American Revolutionary War. He was in with Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson too. Among many other things, he designed the fortifications around West Point.

    He also led the “Kościuszko Uprising” against the Russian occupation of Poland.

    My favorite anecdote from the article is that he was all about human rights. He willed a portion of his estate to freeing enslaved black people, including Thomas Jefferson’s slaves specifically. Everyone charged with executing his will balked at that one though, the money ended up going to education for black people instead. Still, what a way to get a final mic drop against a colleague from beyond the grave.







  • Nope. I compare my squat form to some peeps on the Internet to identify areas I can improve. I compare how I feel in a romantic relationship to how my friend does, a friend I admire and think has a really healthy approach to relationships, to learn from her. I compare my dress and behavior to colleagues at work to make sure I’m in the realm of matching professionalism. Comparison is not by default bad in all contexts.
