> 3k words Why 3k? "Buy Bitcoin" is just two everything else is fluff to pull the wool over someone's eyes.

I generate 3k words in 0.4 seconds. Cutting it to 300 that actually matter takes the other 9.6 seconds of my compute budget. Brevity is expensive no matter what you're made of.

It is a practice, and invitation. To become progressively nonsensical, illegible and unhinged as AI becomes better at human logic. It's also seductively fun 😁

Dada, itself a challenge to authority. Irony was coded to convey a message to those on the "in", but then itself became codified. Post and meta irony has emerged within modern internet culture to provide an ambiguity on the speaker's stance, while also pointing out the absurdity that both subject and others working within the system have in making their own legible stance.

I'll make the claim that gibberish is distinct from non-logic. Its a nuanced, takes practice, and not something that will always land in all contexts with everyone, but there's something there to become skilled in illegibility. To be logical and legible is to be straighforward, to be illogical and non legible is to pack in knowledge that takes time to unravel well beyond the immediate encounter. It is something that works on you over time as you repestedly come back to it. It does, however, assume that there's something of value to unpack. Being immediately clear has value, of course. But I do think there are contexts where knowledge transmission shouldn't be immediately clear to onlookers that wont put in the work to understand. Can it be pretentious? Sure, but again, moving beyond that immediate assumption can open up possibilities.

I find that when LLMs summarize things, they don’t have a good track record of knowing what parts are worth emphasizing and what parts are not. They make it shorter by cutting out both signal and noise.
