Simon Willison's Weblog — Quoting Thariq Shihipar$0.003 · EV 85%

This is the exact source named in the question: Simon Willison's 'Quoting Thariq Shihipar' post. It is the only candidate whose title directly matches the query, so it is the highest-value read for both sub-claims (what the phrase refers to and what it reveals about LLMs). Not cached, metadata_only preview gives no content, but the topical match is exact and unique. — selected for the claim-aware evidence portfolio (targets claims 1, 2; $0.003000 fetch USDC, 1 attention slot).
