No one actually used that as a red flag except the OP themselves facetiously so that’s a bad example. The AI version of what they wrote would be more like: People have the wrong idea about who is getting fired. It’s not John Ive. It’s J

Have you considered that this suspicion is because the number of obvious bots has exploded in the last half year or so, particularly after OpenClaw became the latest fad? Start going to the profiles of every comment from a green account y

Using entirely LLM-drafted writing often reduces the amount of effective information conveyed even if the output is perfectly formatted, fluent English. When I receive an LLM written email at work, I start to question every specific detail

That's the problem with AI writing in a nutshell. In a blind, relatively short comparison (similarly used for RLHF), AI writing has a florid, punchy quality that intuitively feels like high quality writing. But then after you read the

Wait a year and Ted Cruz or another Republican Senator will make a big thing about standing up for the average Joe getting ripped off by Ticketmaster and promptly do nothing about it again. Right wing populism is so depressing to watch…

That’s called moving the goalposts. No one ever claimed CA would have “so much surplus electricity that USX and Tata are rushing to build steel mills”. Your “concern” was that there is no non-fantasy means to deal with transient output of s

This is just vague, incoherent angst dripping with so much sarcasm that it’s impossible for me to even understand what you’re trying to say.

Sure, it's obviously impossible to ID any single piece of writing as from an LLM without significant false positives. But in practice, I frequently encounter a comment that either screams generic LLM slop or even just as a vague indefi

It's a retread of another (also baffling) "Why OpenAI Should Build Slack" post from a popular AI Substack. Just more empty grist for the AI adjacent content mill. "Slack sucks" doesn't let you draft off the cu

The source for the poisoned apple story is Oppenheimer himself, and otherwise uncorroborated to be clear. He spent his life clearly racked by feelings of inadequacy, guilt and self-doubt. When combined with a somewhat paradoxical large ego

I can't find anything corroborating that example either. I've been seeing a lot of similar grandiose claims made in random comments/Tweets/etc recently that Flock solved this or that specific high profile case that have

I have no great love for Dario but his “talking shit” is literally making the point that what Altman is saying publicly is NOT actually in defense or praise of Anthropic and is a calculating, manipulative tactic. Which is intended to muddy

BTW, check the comment history of the above account @sarkash, this is almost certainly an LLM replying with the exact same structure/format in all their comments. This is the underrated insight in the whole thread From comment h

Google partially walked that back and now says there will still be a way for end users to enable sideloading for apps without developer verification (unclear what that will look like though): Based on this feedback and our ongoing conve

Apple cares a lot about that. Their pricing structure across all models in any particular vertical are precisely engineered to keep you effortlessly moving up notches on the pricing ladder into higher margin models by selectively omitting

I cringe whenever I see the Image Playground icon on my MacBook. It somehow looks worse than most scammy image generation apps you see on half-page search ads on the App Store. I have no idea how Apple willingly released it like that. It wa
