This blog is penned by yours truly, primarily using delightful [Midori-style notebooks](https://www.pencilcaseblog.com/2018/08/paper-review-midori-md-notebook.html#:~:text=I%20think%20it's%20not%20too,thought%20through%20with%20Japanese%20precision.), lovingly handcrafted by my wife [Violeta](https://www.instagram.com/violetabypelayo/), paired with the smooth [Pentel Energel 0.5 ballpoints](https://www.penaddict.com/blog/2012/1/20/pentel-energel-x-05-mm-blue-review.html).
This blog is lovingly crafted by yours truly, with words flowing onto the pages of delightful [Midori-style notebooks](https://www.pencilcaseblog.com/2018/08/paper-review-midori-md-notebook.html#:~:text=I%20think%20it's%20not%20too,thought%20through%20with%20Japanese%20precision.), handmade by my talented wife [Violeta](https://www.instagram.com/violetabypelayo/), paired with the smooth and reliable [Pentel Energel 0.5 ballpoint pens](https://www.penaddict.com/blog/2012/1/20/pentel-energel-x-05-mm-blue-review.html).

However, being a non-native English speaker, I lean on Artificial Intelligence models to refine my English style and rectify grammatical inaccuracies. Every suggestion they make is meticulously reviewed and either accepted or modified to ensure it aligns with my intentions.
As a non-native English speaker, I rely on Artificial Intelligence models to refine my writing style and correct any grammatical hiccups. Every suggestion they make undergoes careful review—I either accept or tweak them to ensure they align with my voice and intentions. This process extends to projects like [Building a Semi-Automated Link Blog for Weekly Reads](notes/Building%20a%20Semi-Automated%20Link%20Blog%20for%20Weekly%20Reads.md), where AI plays a pivotal role.

In addition to this, I tap into the power of [Artificial Intelligence for research purposes](AI%20Enhanced%20Knowledge%20Management.md). This mainly involves retrieving concepts and sourcing resources when traditional methods fall short.
Beyond editing, I also tap into the power of [Artificial Intelligence for research purposes](AI%20Enhanced%20Knowledge%20Management.md). Whether it’s retrieving elusive concepts or sourcing hard-to-find materials, AI often steps in when traditional methods fall short.

In addition, some images are generated using various diffusion models. I usually include the model and prompt used for generation in the alt description.
Some visuals featured here are also AI-generated using diffusion models. For transparency, I typically include details about the model used and the prompt in the alt description of each image.

I have always enjoyed sharing my readings. Back when I was more active on Twitter, I used to share almost every post I came across. Since transitioning to [Bluesky](notes/Bluesky%20feels%20like%20a%20breath%20of%20fresh%20air%20for%20data%20folks.md) as a replacement, I’ve continued sharing links there, though [I haven’t been particularly active on social media lately](notes/Wrapped%20list%20of%20Books%20I%20read%20in%202024.md).

Since adopting [Readwise's Reader](notes/My%20workflow%20for%20my%20public%20second%20brain.md), I’ve found myself dedicating more time to reading than sharing. However, for over a year now, I’ve made it a habit to share a list of links with my team every Friday. These are readings that I believe might interest them. Fortunately, some of my colleagues have picked up the habit as well, so Fridays have become a sort of collective digest—a time when we share links we think are worth highlighting to the group.
While I’ve reduced my activity on social media, [Readwises Reader](notes/My%20workflow%20for%20my%20public%20second%20brain.md) has been instrumental in helping me stay organized and focused. It’s shifted my attention toward reading and [writing on my own platform](notes/POSSE%20against%20Platform%20Nudges%20on%20Content%20Creation.md) rather than sharing on social networks.

Over the past few months, this process has been fairly manual but manageable since I was only sharing a handful of links each week. Recently, though, I’ve been diving deeper into topics that might interest the team—so much so that curating these lists became overwhelming. Around the same time, I came across [Simon Willison’s approach to running a link blog](https://simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/22/link-blog/), which inspired me to take things further and start my own link blog here on this site.
For over a year now, I’ve made it a habit to share a curated list of links with my team every Friday, readings I believe they might find valuable, usually accompanied by a very short summary generated with GPT via Readwise’s Ghostreader. Fortunately, some of my colleagues have adopted this practice too, turning Fridays into a sort of collective digest where we exchange links worth highlighting. These digests have become a great way to stay informed as a group.

As you may know from my [AI usage statement](mocs/ai.md), I rely on AI tools to help me write better English. Now, I'm incorporating AI into this new project by using it for automatic summarization of recent readings.
Initially, this process was manageable since I was only sharing a handful of links each week. All I had to do was copy and paste the links from the _Recently Highlighted_ tab on Reader, along with the short AI-powered summaries and a few personal comments. But as I’ve been diving deeper into various topics lately, curating these lists has started to feel a bit overwhelming. While searching for ways to streamline this process, I came across [Simon Willison’s approach to running a link blog](https://simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/22/link-blog/). Inspired by his setup, I decided to take things a step further and create my own #link-blog here on this site.

To make this possible, I developed a small [Python program]([GitHub - pelayoarbues/link-blogger: A Python project designed to streamline the process of generating concise summaries of recent readings and organizing them into a Markdown blog post.](https://github.com/pelayoarbues/link-blogger)) that pulls recent files synced from Readwise onto my laptop. The program uses a Large Language Model to classify each article by topic and summarize the highlights I've underlined while reading, all neatly wrapped into a single markdown file.
As noted in my [AI usage statement](mocs/ai.md), I use AI tools to help improve my English writing. Now, I’m incorporating AI into this new project to automatically summarize my recent readings. I hope this will make it easier for you to discover insightful reads while allowing me to share them more efficiently.

For now, I’m keeping this process semi-automated: every Friday, I'll review the draft generated by the program, add personal notes where needed, and then share it with all of you. You might find this posts by following the #link-blog tag.
