The only inertia—these are my Cached Thoughts based on past online experiences— with that is social incentives, frequent low quality posts may lead to people ignore my comments, more or less classifying me as low status, which is not good for times when feedback is even more important than everyday basic observations. Lesswrong has higher standard than let’s say discord or my personal notes in terms of conduct, I can be an edge-lord all I want on discord, but the replies I get on there are lower quality. For a change I could get more comfortable with taking social risks here—contrary to my general tendencies— and be an aspiring @Caledonian2 , but that seemed to have went poorly for him from what I can tell.
If you limit it to one question a week, many people probably won’t notice.
And if question starts a good debate (other people may be curious about the same thing), they may even have positive associations with that.
By the way, I find LLMs often good for the kind of question “I can vaguely describe it, but I don’t know the keywords” (which is something that search engines are useless for; knowing the right keywords is everything for web search).
