> Why would I use Grammarly/Superhuman for writing with LLM assistance, when I have an out-of-box alternative that, at worst, is equal? I think the answer is basically that they have brand recognition and they're trying to ride

Perhaps you do, but I think this misses the point. For-profit writing is the most successful use case for LLMs today. A significant proportion of all the docs I see at work reek of LLMs. A fair amount of articles you read in the media are w

It won't be. Similarly, searching for "x" on Google returns Twitter as the first hit. Search results are optimized based on inferred intent, and the intent of most people searching for "superhuman" will be the Gramm

> To me, that seems to be a requirement for the computing industry for a long time. Sure, but they have a market cap of 5 trillion. It's about 10x that of AMD, which also sells similar silicon (and isn't in any distress). It&#x

For whom - for Taylor Swift? The average artist experience is pretty miserable: it's harder than ever to break through because there is more competition - two or three generations who looked up to rock and pop stars and imagined that t

I have an issue with the claim that the culture is stagnating. One of the arguments is this: > fewer and fewer of the artists and franchises own more and more of the market. Before 2000, for instance, only about 25% of top-grossing movie

> If you described all the current capabilities of AI to 100 experts 10 years ago, they’d likely agree that the capabilities constitute AGI. I think that we're moving the goalposts, but we're moving them for a good reason: we&#

To be honest, I think the main reason why films get predictable as we get older is that we've seen enough of them and it's just hard to be surprised. I catch myself thinking that even about films / books / games that try

The thing about winter driving is that it's just inherently a crapshoot. Sometimes, on a nice morning commute, you hit black ice going downhill and that's that. It doesn't matter that you were going slow, you're still go

I don't think the cultural difference you're describing here really exists. Maybe if you mean people from the SF Bay Area who visit Tahoe. If you go to places with real winters, people know about winter / studded tires, will

My personal thoughts on gen AI are complicated. A lot of my public work was vacuumed up for gen AI, and I'm not benefitting from it in any real way. But for text, I think we already lost that argument. To the average person, LLMs are t

I don't like binary takes on this. I think the best question to ask is whether you own the output of your editing process. Why does this article exist? Does it represent your unique perspective? Is this you at your best, trying to sh

Depletion of local water resources is a good thing to measure. But by and large, this is not what we're measuring. Instead, we're coming up with absurd statistics that imply any water put to beneficial use just disappears forever.

You're criticizing a joke. Worse, you seem to be aware that you're criticizing a joke, and still went through with it. I also disagree with your premise: Recall by an open-source entity would have many of the same problems. The th
