- Not going to read something where the author can't do the basic courtesy to the reader of using capitalization.
- haha that's a style choice (takes more work to get lowercase text these days). But yeah legit ;-)
- I found it more peculiar that "LM" was capitalized. I know the style is very trendy in certain circles right now, but it is a bit puzzling for me.
- yeah I was really thinking about what the best "umbrella term" would be here. Since "LLM" is too widely used in a really specific context and "AI systems" felt niche I ended up with "LMs". Idk, up for debate..
- From the bio: i’m a researcher (working in healthcare). I try to consume content — books, papers, posts, podcasts, whatever — and started writing to figure out what I actually think about it all. This is writing from the edge of understanding. Hopefully, less about “here’s what I know” and more about “here’s what I’m trying to work out.” Rough edges included.

This is my favourite book. I have followed their podcast for so long. You might like the ideas in this book. Or you can watch the 1-hour lecture by her on youtube. We needs scouts to faithfully explore the territory and report back.
