Hi Brian, How does one go about uploading all of one's writings to an LLM? Which LLM's do you recommend? Tell me more about the nuts and bolts of this particular approach. Full disclosure: I am an 83 year old man.

Just put it all on substack :)

Including entire book manuscripts? I'd like to make my major published and unpublished writings available for AI analysis for anyone who wants to know more about me and my ideas. Would substack work for that?

You might hit the email limit but I think you can put it all on the website

Maybe this was not written by a human. It seems like exactly what a robot would write to argue its point :) All joking aside, there is nothing specifically wrong with an individual's entirety being part of a pool of data within LLMs. I am still considering what it all means.

--Online virtual and vicarious experiences are neither real nor true and LLMs do not output truth. Even if the data can be weighted en masse, it will be corrupted.

--People are already getting lost in isolation. Narrowing exposure further isolates.

--I cannot comprehend a way for LLMs and AI to ultimately be good.

Interesting perspective, but you didn't address how this same info being made available on the internet can, and is, being intentionally manipulated and propagandized. This has eroded public trust in the internet as a reliable source of information.

Can I redeem myself with my own answer to why I write?
