I’ve been thinking a bit on how to improve discourse between disagreeing people and how the quick response style of comment sections don’t lend themselves to serious debate.
One idea I have is to mimic Lincoln–Douglas debates where two people debate each other in a fixed format and with structured time for rebuttal. The hope being by slowing down rebuttal the response becomes more mindful.
In general though I think its the speed and low quality of response leading to dissatisfaction of comment platforms.
These are really interesting to read in order. The LLM output at the end of each shows how they've gotten better and stayed the same. Output is all formulaic just following slightly different formulas. I shall excitedly wait another year to see what is possible in 2026 and if everyone is right by 2027 the LLM will be the author of the piece including human written content for padding at the end.
(Also yes my Brother printer has worked great over the past 10 years. I even had to buy new toner and have replaced it with a third party toner twice so far.)
As long as the LLM crawler fetches the XML in the first place I assume it would be fine. Lighthouse is trying to score the rendered HTML, the LLM just needs to understand what's in the document and it can parse the XML directly.
For your possible interest, my own https://chrismorgan.info/atom.xsl is the most thorough Atom Feed Document stylesheet that I know of.
(I did also make an RSS version of it, https://temp.chrismorgan.info/2022-05-10-rss.xsl, including handling RSS’s stupid date format as perfectly as possible for some reason. It would actually be a useful guide for reversing that process, too…)
For maximum enthusiasm in this direction, make posts actual Atom Entry Documents. Will it benefit anyone? … well, I suppose it could be convenient for tooling to make a feed by just concatenating documents.
