I really enjoyed this, and makes me feel slightly better about using AI for my own work. And I am so curious what Claude said during your argument about the irony of using an LLM to write about techno-cults...
The metaverse comparison hit hardest for me - I remember back in 2021 when everyone was convinced we'd all be living in VR by now. The "us vs them" dynamic you describe is spot on, especially watching the crypto maximalists vs no-coiners battles play out. It's honestly kinda scary how easily these patterns repeat themselves with each new tech wave. Really apreciate the self-awareness about using Claude to write this too!

Happy to share it with you if you're interested! It was a fascinating thread
Yes please!
I enjoyed seeing your scribbled notes. My notebook always looks the same!
I feel like handwritten notes is critical when reading. So much more is retained.
