I take offense to the clickbait accusation. This post wasn't intended to be shared elsewhere, it was a bookmark on my personal website. I have 7,000 more of those here: https://simonwillison.net/search/?q=&type=blogmark
It probably needs a heading or something to make it clear it is a summary of another blog.
I was a bit confused I assumed this was your blog post at first.
Maybe because I am on mobile there is some missing context about what this is.
Have you written anything about that yet?
It's basically my name for a link blog. My biggest inspiration for this is https://daringfireball.net where most of the posts are links plus commentary but sometime they are full blown essays in their own right.
https://waxy.org is another link blog that I really like.

I'm not really a fan of Scott Alexander any more, but something he used to do years back that I liked was putting an "epistemic status" disclaimer at the top of every new post. Some were well-researched, evidence-backed treatises. Some were barely idle shower thoughts. Everyone's musings, whether they write them down or not, probably fall into categories like these. But when you know others are reading it, it can be helpful to make very explicit which is which so readers know what to take seriously and what to consider exploratory and possible but also only preliminary and maybe a deadend or even wrong.
Their blog can be anything they want? The post literally starts with the link to the original source. It's not like those typical clickbait sites that bury the link somewhere deep down. IMO, it's up to the submitter to link to the original source.
I see it more as quote-Tweets, someone with reach amplifying useful/interesting articles.
A blog is exactly what the one who writes it wants it to be.
