This is so, so well-articulated.

People call this friction "grunt work." Schwartz uses exactly that phrase, and he's right that LLMs can remove it. What he doesn't say, because he already has decades of hard-won intuition and doesn't need the grunt work anymore, is that for someone who doesn't yet have that intuition, the grunt work is the work. The boring parts and the important parts are tangled together in a way that you can't separate in advance. You don't know which afternoon of debugging was the one that taught you something fundamental about your data until three years later, when you're working on a completely different problem and the insight surfaces. Serendipity doesn't come from efficiency. It comes from spending time in the space where the problem lives, getting your hands dirty, making mistakes that nobody asked you to make and learning things nobody assigned you to learn.

I'm begging journalists to please learn the definition of a pandemic. This is embarrassing. It's been four years! Governments can't declare the end of the pandemic. The US declared that the public health emergency ended, not the pandemic.

More people think the COVID-19 pandemic’s ongoing than don’t, according to a new HarrisX poll for the Deseret News. That’s despite the fact that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declared the pandemic in America over nearly a year ago, on May 11, 2023.
