Oh yeah, I also ran a Pangram check of his Gamestop post from 2021 (similar topic and theme) and it came up as 100% human-written, so it is less likely that this is a case of Pangram penalizing a human being for having a specific writing st

I ran the same check, and was saddened, because I agree with his point of view, and generally enjoyed the article. But partway through, the "this sounds like AI" alarm went off in my head. Using AI to write an article criticizin

The author is lying. Pangram is no panacea, but every time I have tested my own prose, it says it is 100% human written. Every single passage I tested from this post was evaluated as 100% AI written. The author should just confess; lying

It's hard to bring something new into the world. If it were easy, it would have already happened. Nearly all startups fail. They're trying to do something new, and the status quo is one hell of a competitor. Doing nothing is ea

Lambda's marketing is deceptive and should rightly be stopped. But what is so bad about a bootcamp with no up front cost that gets 50% of its graduates a job? https://chrisyeh.com/2020/02/the-cost-of-cynicism.

For a while, I was writing up bullet-point summaries of the books I liked best. Haven't been able to keep it up, but I think it's the best way to really crystallize the learning. http://bookoutlines.pbworks.com/w&

As one of the co-creators of blitzscaling, it's important to note that we're careful in the book to say that most businesses shouldn't blitzscale. Basecamp is a great example of how bootstrapping can work. You can also list

One of the more interesting things I read about is how Salesforce.com reviewed their employees and their salaries, realized that female employees were underpaid, and increased their salaries accordingly, rather than waiting for someone to a

I think the realization of this reality is one of the things driving the basic income movement. I will be very curious to see if that experiment works out. I honestly don't know if it will or won't.
