Some random thoughts:

It is very odd, I do more deep reading then ever before but its curated through llms.

I do the exploration then the dive on papers.

Many novels we love were released as serials.

I haven't gotten stuck trying to understand an idea because its poorly explained in a book in a while.

I think humans have been very inefficient at finding gaps in logical progression in explanations because anyone who already knows it subconsciously skips steps in the explanation.

That said, llms, woof. Still so much misunderstood.
