Disclaimer: I know LLMs don't "talk", but metaphors are efficient ways of conveying information.

If you're curious about what the LLM told me, the topic was Scrum and how it relates to complex adaptive systems. I was studying those topics by doing Project Zero's Visible Thinking Routines, and I was sending those thinking routines to an LLM to see what it replied with. The LLM told me that it's useful to see Scrum as a set of enablers and constraints. I thought "sure, I guess so", and didn't think much of it. That was months ago, and I hadn’t really thought about it since. However, that changed today.

Today, months later, I was reading about complexity and decision-making and I finally understood what enablers and constraints are.

Some time later, I was telling this story to my partner, and that's when the phrase "An LLM once told me…" came about.

In a way, this story could've happened differently and still been the same. The story could've been a video, a podcast, or even a book saying, in passing, that "It's useful to see Scrum as a set of enablers and constraints". I could've not really understood what that meant, but been okay with it. Then, months later, I could've found a document on the topic, read it, and finally understood what I didn't understand before. That could've been the story.

But in reality it was a bit different. The story happened with an LLM.

A few years ago, this large pine tree feel near our property. I got my chainsaw out and began cutting it up for firewood, starting at the top. When I got to the top of the trunk, it started to move. I stepped back and watch as it stood back up. A large rock was tangled in its roots, providing a counterweight. It's now our flagpole.

Serious question.

If the number of comments were also the same I would lose my mind.

I was just doing random stuff on my phone and went to click a button near the top right of the screen, and was mildly horrified to see "1%", so I immediately put it into the charger, where the phone promptly started showing "0%" for the next ~30 seconds. The phone never died.

Has this happened to any of you?
