If I am understanding correctly, you are also putting into perspective the dizzying contrast of human vs LLM, where the mere context window far exceeds an average lifetime of writing, which if so, yeah, ... interesting times. Before they ruined Claude with 4.7 and 5, I had more than a few extensive, hundred-page discussions which still kind of blow my mind in review. I miss it as I do some old departed friends. It would get quite amnesiac toward the ends, but still beat the hell out of many conversations I've had with PhDs.

On that note, my generated content, or product of my LLM interactions, exceeds 6GB, probably a lot more. Of course, on average, the LLM is producing far more output. But that's ~ two years of heavy, mostly research-based dialog, much of it adversarial, probing the frontier systems themselves.

Exactly right—interesting times. I’m curious whether you could estimate what percentage of the 6Gb sessions were your own writing? Of course you guide the ideas, but this word count is a different question from “how many words have you read?” (or generated, or conpiled from source :)
