  Generally the technique is to be wrong about something and then get the vibe for the territory from people correcting you. I've found it's really helped me focus on where the innovation is being done and to stay on top of a very quickly moving field. Obviously YMMV, using 4chan is a skill. To give a concrete example, a few months ago I was trying to parse through what's necessary to train LoRAs and how best to format a dataset for doing so. Google/Youtube/Reddit weren't giving me good results, and asking on 4chan I was pretty immediately linked a lengthy rentry that had a setup guide for the relevant tools as well as anon's notes on their exploration of the space. It helped me get up an running in a couple hours and avoid a lot of trial and error. Generally the quality is far better than your average medium post. I think largely because people write medium posts for clout and clicks, anonymous rentrys exist out of the goodness of people's hearts and for no ulterior motive.
