- addaon 2mo agoIt's not gone. It was just transferred in payment to someone who understood the rules of the game better.
- grebc 2mo agoSo after all that, still gone?
- ahazred8ta 2mo agoAs Kevin Bacon put it in Quicksilver, "What happened to all that money?" "Nothing happened to it. The money's still there. It just belongs to somebody else now."
- danillonunes 2mo agoNot sure if "understood the rules of the game" is doing a good job here. Using a hardware wallet is almost as close as you can get of a cryptocurrency user understanding all the rules of the game. They are following the "gold standard" of security for personal usage. What else should we expect them to do?
- gmerc 2mo agoIt’s not A it’s B. Thanks. Slop.

- HeartStrings 2mo agoGood info, but em dash slopmaxxing, slop prose and AI design is such a buzzkill.
- mvanveen 2mo agoMaybe it’s just me but (and I ask this as something of an ML practitioner myself) can anyone at Anthropic or Open AI or any of the frontier labs work on summarizing content into a format where a human won’t immediately vomit? There’s this sort of local optima all these models pick which is instantly recognizable and hardly digestible for human consumption. Perhaps too much internal RL against benchmarks during chain of thought? The older non reasoning models had they’re own problems but at this point I can’t get an LLM to summarize data for humans, which is troubling. As much as I’d like to read this piece it follows suit and I don’t have the patience to try and extract anything valuable from it.
- carrychains 2mo agoGive it a sample of your own technical writing and tell it to match the voice. I did this with Fable just today and it nailed it.
- mvanveen 2mo agothat's an interesting idea thx
- AreShoesFeet000 2mo agothat is just fatigue. you’ve been vibed too hard.
- wewewedxfgdf 2mo agoYes, you say: "write (whatever you want written), BUT do not make it sound like a typical AI don't use any of the tropes or typical phrases that AI tends to use - if you include anything that makes it appear to be from AI then the task has failed. Pull your writing away from the median and toward very specific random styles that are NOT the cliched, averaged LLM style." edit: actually wrong I tried to get ChatGPT to do this and it kept falling back into LLM speak even when it recognised that's what it was doing.

- wewewedxfgdf 2mo ago"This is the part worth sitting with." - written by AI. It is possible to get the AI to write stuff that does not sound like AI you just have to ask it to properly.
- kibibu 2mo agoThere are so many AI-isms in this. It is frankly astonishing to me that AI detectors are so poor when this is screaming out. > Six steps, no jargon. The note beside each one is the precise technical version, for anyone who wants to check the work. It actually makes me uncomfortable reading this garbage now.
- wewewedxfgdf 2mo agoYou hear it on TV too often political pundits have this exact turn of phrase. "But here's the part keeping me up at night....."
- aappleby 2mo agoGet a human to write it or GTFO
- jondwillis 2mo agoSince this has become a thread about complaining about unreadable, brain-killing AI slop, I'll add mine: >Six steps, no jargon. The note beside each one is the precise technical version, for anyone who wants to check the work. I think this is called "concept leak" or "prompt leak" (please someone correct me, I can't recall at the moment.) It is one of my least-favorite failure modes. I notice it a lot when drafting landing pages, and it eats up a lot of time to edit away.
- kibibu 2mo agoThat's a great name for it; I've seen it on AI-generated form pages, where a version of the requirement text is included alongside an input.
- VariousPrograms 2mo agoYour competitor has a $100m self-implosion in what must be an all-time slam dunk marketing moment and you spend 7 cents generating a marketing blog post instead of having someone write it.
