The advice here is now increasingly out of date in the era of LLMs. Trisectors are more numerous and voluminous than ever, while being less obvious and more effective at wasting your time, and approaching a far greater variety of subjects, and any kind of response to one has a much greater risk of outright aggressive and even threatening responses as sycophantic AIs escalate their users otherwise benign hyperfocus into outright paranoid delusions.

Out of date?

If what you say is true, shouldn’t that make the understanding of trisectors more urgent and important? If anything, this is more relevant than before.

I'm not sure. I think LLMs makes different people into trisectors and they trisect in different ways-- so not just much more numerous but also somewhat different in character.
LLMs are trisector factories.
