My own anecdata, fwiw. I have periods of my year where I spend the majority of my time (like 25-30 hours a week) holding and recording calls, which I then transcribe and review. I’ve never once found an error of this type. I also record and

Depends on your level of interaction in the meeting. I have a lot of meetings where I’m having in-depth “fact finding” interviews with one or two other participants. Taking notes breaks the flow and sometimes the other participants find it

Quite likely because they are very angry about being shaken and thrown. As you would be too, I imagine.

Didn’t most people keep stick insects (which aren’t quite crickets, but similar) as pets when they were kids? I thought that was a near universal experience for nerdy academic families, along with hatching frog spawn and having a chemistry

Right, I’ve never seen an anime, probably for exactly this reason.

Why did you pick such creepy voices? They are very childlike and weird.

Possibly but the 60s is a very long time ago now… My parents were both adept in Fortran in the 60s when they were in their twenties but now in their mid-eighties I doubt they would be much good at helping someone who wanted to problem solve

The other interesting but useless fact is that silk top hats (which as the article points out supersede beaver as the fibre of choice) are no longer made - and the technique for making them is effectively lost because they need specialise

Please do this yes! A well-meant blog post written by a human - however "amateurish" you might feel it is - is probably going to be better than clunky AI nonsense. And remember, whatever you write doesn't need to be long wind

It’s a blog post written by AI. AI makes everything ponderously dramatic.

I don’t really understand the point of this. Scrivener has a revision history. Even google docs have versioning. And if you’re writing seriously you’ll know that your first draft often bears no resemblance whatsoever to your final draft. Di

It wasn’t the em-dashed that sent my spirit sense tingling. It was all the obvious AI tics and tropes. But maybe it’s satirical.

Did you use AI to write the blog post?

I’m not if this is satire. If so, well done because you’ve written something about a “business” that is quite literally based on crap. It’s not a “real business” by any stretch of the imagination. It’s an idea for an app that the vast major

It definitely has the stench of AI about it, yes. But I really do think that it's gibberish. I have to read each sentence several times - and hop about in the structure - to work out what it's actually trying to say. > Starting

> The maths has no opinion on beer. Slop has no opinion on good writing either. My heart sank when I opened your website. I genuinely thought it was going to be interesting and it was just a screed of AI gibberish.

“Gypsies” are a race of people. “Junkies” and homeless people are, at an individual level, not. Homeless people and drug addicts may well be victims of circumstance or victims of society depending on your point view - or even victims of the

Ugh. All you haters have no vision. Pretty sure you have missed the non-GAAP upside of this bike where the PRS of this cohort of ELSCs is booked and multiplied forward as ICFRS which means each bike sale is worth a future two cars, a cybert

> Deutsche Bank, for example, hailed SpaceX as “the apex of civilizational ambition, oftentimes expressed in steel and fire, bending the arc of history”. This is pitiful. Not least because it is execrable writing. It’s 50 Shades Of Grey

Yes, I know what the music is. The videos are awful. I meant that watching them is an equivalent experience to listening to music generated by Suno.

These are awful. It’s like Suno music. Seems convincing if you half listen. As soon as you pay attention you notice all the cracks.
