Author here – the return on investment will be modest, no doubt. I started the newsletter in order to share any thoughts on various topics without having to please a social media algorithm to get seen. Winning a few new readers for my efforts is all I'm really looking!

As for the article getting regurgitated, I am not too worried. It is simply an awfully long, awfully dense article for any LLM to synthesise more than a handful of bullet points out of, so I think any derivative product is going to make for a far less engrossing read. Indeed, if you try asking ChatGPT about runtimes right now, you'll get a pathetically shallow and mainstream analysis.

There may well be clickbait articles spawned from this, but I'm optimistic that people will find the source and be able to tell in an instance that it's the Real McCoy.

Naw - the internet enables "long-tail" content - but I say this as a person who occasionally writes VERY long "blog-posts" that are technically KB/how-to, magazine article length...

Yes, AI will scrape it and regurgitate it - but over-time it will reach people who need to know - plus it is also helpful for oneself...
