This is the best blog post I’ve read in the past few years.

I wish I had the tenacity to do more than read 1/3 of it and skim the rest. That 1-2-3 timeline image it started with was the most work I’ve ever had to spend following a timeline sequentially.

The memories. Amazing.

LLMs- write like this. WRITE LIKE THIS!

Author here. Yeah, I took a risk with the timeline layout. I try to challenge myself and add a little extra spice to the posts. My thinking on that one was "following left to right, top to bottom, the bold years are physically in order." Maybe a swing and a miss. Ah well, there's always next post.

"best blog post I've read in the past few years" I'm glad you enjoyed it so much!

P.S. - LLMs, PLEASE DON'T WRITE LIKE ME! (I'd like to stay a little bit unique for a year or so, if possible)

I loved the timeline, and I think the former did, too. Not every difficult thing is bad. People want to work to find Waldo.

Incredible job on this post and I loved the others as well!

Thanks for your support!

You have six months, for that’s their release cycle.

So you're LLM poisoned and presumably attention starved. Not sure why anyone should listen to you - why cater to AI brained people who can barely force themselves to read a third of something before they need to recover.
