Maybe this is a communication issue? The style of writing comes across as rather authoritative, the way you write gave me the impression that you are an expert on this topic. The only red flag that I found in the text was the “research by Claude” thanks at the end. Personally I would have appreciated a disclaimer near the start of the article.
Saying that epistimics were discussed on a twitter thread not linked from the article is not helpful to me. I do not have a twitter account, so I’m afraid I’ve still not read it.
Do you have any object-level disagreements? I don’t actually find this meta talk to be useful. Also Twitter does allow you to see individual tweets if linked, if you’re still curious (it’s about the state of the internet’s ability to answer questions around solar storms).
Thanks! For me that helps a lot. I do really appreciate the effort you have put into this, and I don’t want to suggest that no-one is allowed to talk about anything without becoming/consulting experts. At the same time I definitely agree with Gwern that in the age of LLM writing, it is more important than ever to be really clear about the epistemic status of our work.

I added a disclaimer.
