Honest Q but who in practice reads Politico? I can see the legacy appeal to the "center" but hasn't that largely been eroded/absorbed by Dems by now? And I've never read anything particularly smart there, so the only target audience I cld see anymore are other journalists. But that can't be enough?

I broadly agree on the usefulness of LLMs in general, but also think it really depends on the application / the specific claims being made. For example, I'm really glad I don't have to teach college students these days, and am probably skeptic on their net impact for education (at least currently)

Because there might be a difference if "something" = spelling or thinking

Is your argument that doing less of something doesn't make you worse at it? Or is it that the "something" is just an intermediate product without intrinsic value?

As it happens this is the opposite of the NY times approach

Just that (as an additional option for when you contemplate yourself in the mirror) you are not *required* to create the mental boxes of luck vs personality, nor to label them as good luck/bad luck or merits/flaws bsky.app/profile/econ...

I still think, structurally, the Internet mostly died with Google reader
