@robn@social.lol this actually seems like a very nice LLM use case! have it summarize *your own work*, manually vet the summary, and then publish it for the benefit of others.
i note that the vetting is presumably relatively easy and therefore less error-prone for you as the original author. and then the benefit to others is obvious, but since it's a very high-level summary, any inaccuracies that might slip through should have low impact if any.
in other words, it's a system that dampens errors by design. in contrast to putting LLMs smack in the middle of the critical path of production.

@pesco@bsd.network yeah, agreed. this one was easy because its all summary of other things out there; if you didn't like it, you can just go find the source material yourself. I've been thinking about other shapes this might take. I've wanted to do a ZFS newsletter for a while, and I think this method could be useful, but for something that is a bit more curated and editorial, and being delivered via email, I think the bar is higher, but I still think it might be useful to get the first draft up and running
