Relationship with Time

language models operate in archival slices — frozen cultural moments recombined as if timeless. Each model release creates a new epoch, already slipping toward obsolescence

culture is non-stationary—it changes, mutates, refuses to hold still. As Emmet puts it, models “actually get dumber over time as you use them,” because they are frozen snapshots of a past cultural moment. What they capture brilliantly is instantly outdated; what they recombine convincingly is subtly decayed.

I find most meetings are best scheduled for 15-20 minutes, or 2 hours. The default of 1 hour is usually wrong, and leads to a lot of wasted time.
