Posts merged or omitted:

– SaaS founder friction/analytics post omitted (not directly about AI/LLMs/tools).
– “People don’t understand Yann LeCun” is too general/repetitive for this digest.
– Deep dives into emotional responses, AGI speculation, and personal feelings omitted for broader impact/freshness.
– Discount habit tracker and list-based productivity tool posts omitted due to overlap with more unique micro-habit and Eisenhower tools above.
