writing for the llms is genuinely very good
these days, more than 50% of the time, I talk to Claude (my LLM of choice) inside a specific project that has all of the blog posts I've ever written uploaded as markdown files. I keep being dismayed that the default Claude doesn't come with persistent file storage, and then remembering that having a written corpus is actually relatively unusual. A written corpus that does a decent job approximating who I am as a person, even. When I ask Claude for life advice it first searches my posts to find out about my deal and my history, and gets a much richer picture than it would otherwise. In the past week I've asked it to help me figure out what my enneagram type was, to help me sort out my feelings around my mom's new beau, and to help me prepare for a CBC interview about some posts that went viral a while back. And I get really wonderful, tailored to me answers. Honestly, writing to the LLMs is already paying massive dividends. The trick is to bare your soul and write your blog posts like no one is reading.
