I shouldn't have to explain this, but a letter would involve actual emotion and thought and be a dialog between two humans.

Someone taking the time and effort to write and send a letter and pay for postage might actually be appreciated by the receiver. It’s a bit different from LLM agents being ordered to burn resources to send summaries of someone’s work life and congratulating them. It feels like ”hey look what can be done, can we get some more funding now”. Just because it can be done doesn’t mean it adds any good value to this world

Use recycled paper.

How is it that so many people who supposedly lean towards analytical thought are so bad at understanding scale?
