At several stages in my career, I’ve been very fortunate to work with smart and experienced people who have been willing to listen to my ideas and tell me what I misunderstood or didn’t take into account and why they won’t work. I’ve learned a huge amount from this kind of interaction.

I find it immeasurably depressing to realise that there are large numbers of people out there like young me, who are talking to LLMs instead and being told that they are brilliant and their ideas are amazing. All of these people are missing out on the opportunity to learn and are completely unaware of it.
