AI-generated image showing a fictitious bottle of "French's Maple Bacon Ketchup made with Real Maple Syrup" that has a fluted top with a white cap and a wide bottom with another white cap. If you hold your hand over the top or bottom, the bottle looks real. Seen as a whole it looks bizarre because it is capped on both ends.

"It's 2025 and most content is still written for humans instead of LLMs. 99.9% of attention is about to be LLM attention, not human attention.

E.g. 99% of libraries still have docs that basically render to some pretty .html static pages assuming a human will click through them. In 2025 the docs should be a single your_project.md text file that is intended to go into the context window of an LLM.

Repeat for everything."

Xcretion from Shaun Maguire stating "DEI kills people, literally DEl is structural racism, believing the ends justify the means
On the other hand, diversity is a natural byproduct of a meritocracy The key term is that "equity" in DEl means do anything to insure equal outcomes; that's not meritocratic it's racist."
