What if "way short of AGI" is still dangerous in ways we can't easily handle?

My problem is that my personal AI detector running on wetware just goes ping and it's hard to articulate why. I agree with the person you're replying to on all points but also, when I think something is AI, it's very much jus

Long sequences of short sentences. Not X, but Y. And Pangram flags it, too. https://www.pangram.com/history/126831e1-562f-4e65-9874-5250...

Very likely. I'm just saying, people in the CIA seeing where the tech might be going and hedging their bets is not that unlikely.

Common side-effect of letting Claude write your landing page. Apparently it's mostly this: // ENCODE — pack(html) → one .hmml (a Uint8Array you store or send) // · lifts every data: image out of the HTML

Well, define "drone warfare"- the CIA and the Pentagon has been operating Predators and friends for a long while.

The idea is to expose it as a tool to your LLM agent so it can run calculations on its own initiative.

by roywiggins 4mo ago
Your rewritten post is far easier for me to read now, fwiw. LLM output has conditioned in me a near reflex response to just close a tab as soon as I smell LLM-authored text. Like, I'm not mad or anything, I just frequently find most

Pangram agrees it's 100% LLM written.
