I wouldn’t look for anything. As I’m reading a text, something in my brain would immediately go “this is probably written by a non native speaker” when coming across certain awkward turns of phrase.

That wouldn’t be confirmation bias, just pattern recognition. If I teach English as a foreign language, am familiar with the kind of mistakes non native speakers make when writing in English, and can easily identify texts written by non nat

Yes, this is a key thing to clarify anytime these conversations take place. The reason we want to preserve the environment, biodiversity, all that jazz is FOR US. It’s for our own comfort and survival that we should care about not polluting

Yeah the “No _____. No _____. Just the ______.” is such a dead ringer for AI writing these days that I just ignore any writing that features it. If you don’t care about your craft as a writer to the extent that you can’t even realize how st

Yep, exactly this. If I have anything with sugar in the house, it'll get consumed in 24-48h. The solution is to just not have anything with sugar in the house. If I want to splurge with a chocolate or ice cream bar, I take a walk to my

Crazy high functioning people pretty much came up with every technical and social innovation modern civilization runs on. No crazies = no Newton, no Dirac, no Marx, no Descartes, no Curie, etc etc etc.

It would be “plateau marin”, not “plateau de mer”. “Plateau de mer” does sound like a seafood restaurant special.

I’m a photographer, and am on a bunch of beginner photography groups. These groups used to be a mix of people being confused at how their camera worked and wanting help, people wanting tips on how to take better pictures, and sometimes ther

In the countryside where I am there are 2 buses a day (only during the school year, for students, although they let non students ride it) and the nearest train station is 30 minutes away. The real concern here is people driving when they s

Self-driving is one of the most interesting technologies of our times, from a legislative/social standpoint. Will every large city in the globe be filled with self driving cars in 2035, or will the situation be roughly identical to 202

Funny, it’s actually after I come back from a week of backpacking that my “internet quality time” is highest - there’s a bunch of new, meaningful content for me to go through. After a few hours of catching up tho, that’s when my internet us

Signatures seem to be completely useless. Like you, my signature has devolved into a squiggle that is never the same, and it has never mattered. I remember experimenting as a bored young adult with my first credit card, before tap to pay, w

This would actually be a cool use case for AR glasses- digitize everything as you write it, tie it to the physical notebook it’s in, so that you can later search it, or have the system tell you things like “you wrote your thoughts on your s

Yeah, the AI angle doesn't really bring any new element to this conversation that free software advocates have been having for almost half a century now. Well, I guess AI-as-my-romantic-partner people don't care so much about free

If you made a "Replika in a box" product which, for $3k, gave you unlimited Replika forever - guaranteed to never be discontinued by its creators — I think a not so tiny amount of people would purchase without thinking. Given how

Yes, that's also what caught my attention. I landed on this article by way of reading about barnacles, and that the Barnacle Goose is named as such because it was thought it was born from barnacles. https://en.wikipedia.org&

When I reached upper level Japanese classes (N2/N1), my native Japanese teachers would regularly (maybe once a week or so) have to look up a character they were writing on the board during class. It definitely made me feel better.
