  • LLMs are really good at absorbing infodumps.
    • You don't need a ton of structure for the LLM to get it.
    • Humans are way worse at receiving infodumps.
      • They get bored or confused or distracted.
    • Infodumps are often necessary to communicate sufficient context, but humans can't do it, so we learned to not do it.
    • But it actually is the best way to give context… if your collaborator can absorb it.
