That’s what apologies are for. But I’ve learned that a lot of my apologies were just for, like, existing, and that’s where I’ve found it awesome to express gratitude instead.

I relate to this so hard...

I also use LLMs (Claude, mostly) to help with writing and there are so many things that I find frustrating about the UX. Having to constantly copy/paste things in, the lack of memory across instances, the inability to easily parallelize generation, etc.

I'm interested in prototyping a few of these features and potentially launching a product around this — is that something you'd want to collaborate on?

The LW specific ones were kinda boring, I already agreed with most of them, if not the toxic framing they're presented in. The other ones weren't very interesting either. I'm probably most vulnerable to things that poke at core parts of identity in ways that make me feel threatened, and there are only a few of those. Something something, keep your identity small.

Oof. Well, thanks for sticking it out, some of us are enjoying your writing.
