Used to read everything like gospel, now I just scan for signal and skip the noise. Most writing today’s just padding around one decent idea, LLMs broke everyone’s bullshit detector flooding everything with synthetic fluff. If an idea still makes sense after you compress it down that’s how you know it’s real. The best writing today feels like code comments
Also interesting in that code is (to date) the most no-noise communication, with utterly concrete semantics: within its interpretive context, meaning is locked in. Comments on code would then anchor to this solid foundation - drifting upward from it, but still closely in orbit.
In "normal" writing what's the reality we tether to? Perhaps the haziness, the non-consensually of that has loosened writing. The falcon cannot hear the falconer, or will not.
