Legibility of Effort · eieio.games

So: Lots of work is easier because of LLMs, and Lots of heuristics we used to gauge effort are broken because of LLMs, so Conveying effort to others is harder because of LLMs And: “Someone spent time on this” is a proxy for “this is worth engaging with” and I appreciate projects that take a lot of effort and I like it when people appreciate that I spent effort on something But also: Making a good thing still requires making lots of decisions, and Making lots of decisions is still very hard, despite LLMs, so Making good things is still very hard As a creative technologist I’ve found this paralyzing. And as someone who loves novel internet projects I’ve found it frustrating. I’ve heard similar things from many of my friends.
