Comment on The Prison of Financial Mediocrity

Comments

No doubt OP had something great to say, but it reads like an LLM was used to explode their ideas out to a long, “professional” essay.

Extra words rarely have more content, only potential surprises - forcing your reader to go through it all in case of something unexpected..

LLM use doesn’t help you stand out. To make your writing professional in 2025, use as few words as possible.

I know what you mean.

When you sum up all the verbiage, regardless of its original or embellished content & meaning, it could just as well be titled The Enclosure Of Outsized Financial Ambition.

Maybe his LLM is trying to tell him something, like peoples' idea when it comes to rewarding greed is really just mediocrity in wolf's clothing.
