Research job #1 started!

Note on signing up:

  • I clicked on the "Sign up with Google" and nothing happened.
  • I then saw the "I'm a human" captcha at the bottom, figured maybe that's needed.
  • I was unsure if clicking it would break the current flow so I waited.
  • After 20 seconds I was like "Eh, it's already broken. What's the worst that can happen" and clicked the captcha
  • which then immediately forwarded me to Google and a successful signup.

Research job #1 is like a personal eval of sorts:

The topic is very niche and I've got a good grasp of the "fact-portion" of the answer. So it's not facts I'm looking for but nuances I might have missed.

I guess my squishy metric here is "Surprisal" (aka Shannon information).

Prompt: 'Can you give me a summary who/what/why/how/where/when of "Chances With Wolves"?'

Now I wonder: Is this even a good task for Scout in the first place?
