Knowledge, Learning, Community

There are those who draw a sharp distinction between formal academic papers and blog posts, and then there's me, who reads something like this (16 page PDF), and sees nothing more than a set of short blog posts, where "writing was conducted in a sprint over the summer of 2025 using a shared Google doc." I'm not saying this is bad (though the resulting article is a bit loose and unfocused) but I remind readers that academic research in this domain should properly consider, and credit, not only formal journal articles, but also the original blogs where so many of the ideas are originally posted.
