Good to know, but is it ever punished, either by the FTC or by consumer backlash? As long as the expected value is positive, companies will keep doing it.

It's a bummer that these unethical tactics continue to work. They should offer a bounty for people who report cases that are successfully pursued, like for tax evasion or whistleblowing more generally. That would lead to a slew of poss

I worry that reading too much LLM output will make me tend to write more like an LLM. Seems like it would be inevitable, to some extent. (Here's why it works)

Appreciate the point about multiple notifications. I fine-tune mine so that when I'm away I don't get notifications by default. Regarding self-centeredness, reasonable minds can differ on this. Some people prefer a bit of chit-cha

I would refer someone I'm friends with if I know them well, understand what they would be like to work with, and understand the job/company well enough. After all, I've lived with some people that I never worked with. Surely

Disagree. We have a spending problem, not a tax revenue problem. No matter how much the govt brings in, it will want to spend an increasing amount more.

I have a gold wedding band and can have it resized if needed. Also, I don't wear my wedding band when exercising, and that doesn't reduce its utility for me much. But a health tracker ring is arguably at its most useful when worn

I wondered if/when this would happen. I would have considered their vehicles more seriously had they not done this. To be fair, I do know some people say it wasn't a dealbreaker for them because you could still connect the phone o

I didn't see a single reference to iOS 18 in that article. So while I understand it would be faster than 26, those of us wondering about the comparison to iOS 18 are still in the dark.

Compared to iOS 18? Or just compared to 26? how so?

I might get one. I've been using a mini for years and am pretty much giving up on Apple ever making one again. The AI features finally seem worth an upgrade, and I don't love the size of the Air, standard iPhone, or Pro/Max m

Nice touch with the "one more thing". OTOH, Steve must be rolling over in his grave about the stylus-on-iPhone capability.

The audience for this sort of thing is currently quite limited. It may grow more in the future, especially if prices get out of control, but for now, it's a relatively small subset of people.

Completely agree. I don't think my writing style has changed much, but there are times when I think of writing a sentence and then reconsider because "it sounds too much like AI to me". Scary!

Yeah, when I read this sentence I thought, "well, maybe you're just incorrectly classifying non-obvious LLM writing as human writing, which makes your hypothesis unfalsifiable".

I agree completely, but how does that relate to my comment (saying it's cat and mouse, the game may never end, and Pangram's current success isn't indicative of future value)?

by apparent 20d ago
Seems like it's a cat and mouse game that won't end anytime soon. LLMs are constantly getting better at writing, so at some point people won't be able to tell reliably tell the difference anymore. I wouldn't laude Pangra
