I just looked at our archive here: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/index.html
I then used the chrome claude extension and asked a simple prompt: give me a summary of this site It came up with: This page is the Mail Archive's index for the *FRIAM* mailing list ( [email protected]), archived at mail-archive.com. FRIAM stands for "Friday Applications in Complexity," a long-running discussion group/mailing list associated with people connected to the Santa Fe Institute and Santa Fe, New Mexico complexity science community. The archive displays messages organized by thread, showing a chronological/threaded index of email conversations rather than any original content of its own. Looking at the thread titles, the list is an informal, freewheeling discussion forum where members debate a wide mix of topics: philosophy of mind (e.g. "phil zombies," "group agency"), math puzzles (several threads on the equation A⁴+B⁴+C⁴=D⁴), AI and technology commentary ("vibe coding," "AI Slop," "cognitive offloading"), software/Linux questions, local Santa Fe meetup logistics (coffee shop and venue announcements like "St John's" or "New Santa Fe Baking"), obituaries and memorials for community members, and general banter among a recurring group of participants such as glen, Marcus Daniels, Steve Smith, Tom Johnson, Frank Wimberly, and others. In short, it's a public email archive of a niche, long-running community mailing list mixing casual meetup coordination with intellectual discussion on complexity science, AI, math, and philosophy. Kinda fun sicking AI on our past. -- Owen
