Interesting article.
But I don't know if I am imagining it; I'm starting to feel Claude's (AI) writing everywhere. Like this sentence for example:
> The genius of the gaucho’s system isn’t storage. It’s integration.
The x isn't y. Its z.
- naravara 2mo agoYeah as soon as I hit the gaucho section my clanker alarm started going off like crazy.
- tom_ 2mo agoYes. I missed that specific bit, but, the more I read on, the less it felt like a nice in-flight magazine-tier diversion and the more it felt like I was reading the result of asking Claude to write an essay about the bearing of loads. (Which makes me personally a lot less interested in reading it.)
- throwaway173738 2mo agoYeah the writing tastes like processed food. There’s no substance just “here’s some stuff people do” but nothing about why it works or where you could learn more.

- buellerbueller 2mo agoAssuming it is AI-written, who cares? Would the article have been written if AI hadn't authored it? Did you derive less utility from the article than had it not been written at all? Bunch of Veruca Salts here. I want ALL the entertainment/information, I want it NOW, I'll pirate it if I have to, and GOD FORBID IT USE AI.
- kakacik 2mo agoWhile I agree that the topic is actually pretty interesting and any decent info > no info, in more general terms we pay with the most important commodity we have - our free time. So just because something is free doesn't mean people automatically flock in masses for it and have uncritical relationship with it.
- buellerbueller 2mo agoYes, but criticism itself takes our free time, and there are better places to allocate that criticism/free time than this particular pile-on.
- tom_ 2mo agoBe the change you want to see!
- buellerbueller 2mo agoBy whingeing about an allegedly Claude-written blog post on [checks notes] carryology.com??? Literal Gandhi!

- tom_ 2mo agoI care. If the article was AI written, I'm massively less interested in writing it, and in fact I'll only do it if absolutely necessary, or if I'm getting paid. That's just how it is for me. If you disagree: no problem! Some people are inclined to argue with people about their opinions, but I'm not one of them, at least not on this matter.
- icantevenhold 2mo agoYea I also stumbled across that one. Overall the article was really enjoyable to read, but this one sentence threw me off. X isnt y it’s Z needs to die
- modo_ 2mo agoHere's a certified human written post from the one and only Yvon Chouinard about tumplines. Patagonia actually used to sell a tumpline compatible with some of their packs briefly in the 2010s! https://www.patagonia.com/stories/culture/design/on-tumplines/story-18753.html https://www.patagonia.com/stories/culture/design/on-tumpline...
- DonHopkins 2mo agoLoad bearing load carriers.
- jeffrallen 2mo agoYou're absolutely right! This is a load-bearing article.
- KPGv2 2mo agoI suppose I read enough books that I've seen this from human writers all the time for decades. It's even an English construction that I was specifically taught Japanese and Spanish equivalents in my foreign language classes decades ago, and I use the German equivalent with my family all the time.
