What makes you think it’s an LLM? It made fine sense to me, it’s just an odd style

Simply someone getting a break to philosophize about a crowning achievement in my eyes as the entire idea of free and open had yet to even be fully defined let alone on the precipice of realization four decades ago when I signed on to this free information roller coaster that changed the world.

Always was. This is word salad. If you scan very hastily and you're not good at skimming -- and writing online for 10s to 100s of thousands of readers a day has taught me that many people can't skim to save their lives but they don't know that they can't -- it may look superficially like coherent English text, but it isn't.

  tbh, on re-read I agree it's awkward, but to take some of the bait: >> an entirely ideological win > What does that mean? ideological win makes sense. what's an entirely ideological win? one without non-ideological impact. >> there is a fully documented dearth of information > ... is nonsensical. disagree. it is entirely sensical for a dearth of information about a well-defined topic to be documented. see: every github issue for project documentation ever.

    Huh. Well, OK then. @superdug keeps posting and responding and seems to be acting like a human, so maybe it's just me. There is a chap in the Hitchhiker's Guide fan club who I've known online for >20Y who is a native English speaker, but his comments and posts online read almost like bot-generated text. Most of them, I have to ask him to explain, often 3 or 4 times, until he can produce something coherent to other humans. His grammar and spelling are perfectly fine but his mind works weirdly and he writes about references to passing thoughts that occurred to him and is not able to recognise that others do not share those random associations. Some of my friends have got so irritated with it, they've just blocked him. Perhaps this is a case a little like that? It makes almost no sense to me, but apparently, it does to you, so maybe the failing is on my end.
