Your comment is like 6 months to a year late. There for awhile it seemed like we’d have 3 big competitors but then Grok 4.2 or 4.4 was just diabolical while OAI and Claude continued their significant improvements. Grok was/is so bad th

Ok? And? Again, if a society has been around for awhile they (specifically their leadership) are doing something right in terms of their culture, societal organisation etc, yeah?

Neither American nor (mercifully) european. But congrats on managing to pull out the ad hominem and being wrong to boot, that takes special skill.

I have not and will not use them. There have been a few times a site has required one and I’ve just moved on to something else.

This is how groomed is used, yes. The sexually overt connotation is a very recent thing.

As yes, I was wondering when my Federal government’s sense of FOMO would compel it to needlessly yap into the void like anybody cares. I see today was the day.

Hard to say what you're trying to get at here - are you saying people are shit writers and thus write in a shitty, LLM-sounding way, or that people are shitty writers and use LLMs to do the writing for them. The latter is pretty inexcu

You asked for examples multiple times, got a plethora of them, and then went silent. Profile is old but the entire 1st page of comments relate to LLM language use and in particular how to sound like a human being and not a large language mo

You can’t tell the difference between an established company or individual (like Gates or Musk, who literally have their own family companies with dozens of staff - not to mention direct media contacts and access), and some random Polish gu

Spamming is defined as sending a single message indiscriminately to a bunch of recipients. Old mate sent a single message indiscriminately to a bunch of media companies hoping to get publicity for his personal cause. Yeah, that's textb

Legit I laughed so hard when I got to that point and closed the tab. 100 emails to every 'media company' you can think of is textbook spam. No shit your account got banned, lol.

Yes, I should have been clear - I don't mind AI working on patches or vuln-hunting; my issue with MacOS 27 is the amount of AI included in the OS that is not opt-in. I use Claude Code everyday - but it doesn't run locally on my ma

There's definitely a large group of consumers that are all about buying Canadian goods, and obviously the Canadian and American governments are having their scrap, but my point is that a genuine boycott on a global scale that would be

Are you European? I ask because this seems like a very European thing to say. Countries are buying less from America for sure, especially of particular goods, but neither Mexico nor Canada nor anybody else are 'boycotting' America

You don't really think half the world is boycotting US products, do you lol?

I don’t worry so much about AI wiping us out as much as I worry about whether I’m being gaslit into thinking these glorified autocorrect bots are more clever than they are. I still don’t know the answer.
