In this sort of way, yes, it's a clue. Obviously not dispositive just by itself.

Correct. I was already pretty sure, but I wouldn't have written that post without checking Pangram first.

"It's not a Waymo-bashing article, it cautions against the long term effects on research." is not an LLMism. It superficially resembles one, but that's it. (Nor is what I just wrote, there.)

It would be nice to see research rather than polemics by far-leftists. Especially when that book is itself written by someone supportive of genocidal dictatorships.

I will donate $100 to charity if I made a false accusation. (It's possible AI rewrote an article first written by a human here or whatever, but the point is that I can just tell this is mostly or entirely LLM output.)

You actually didn't. The construct is slightly different. I use LLMs all day every day. I think they're great. I just don't like humans who put their name to what an LLM did.

It is actually pretty much without problems. It doesn't catch everything, but if it detects something it's very rarely a false positive.

I am not saying this is necessarily incorrect but is it empirically actually true. Have people compared lots of different articles.

If you check my comment history here, I have not written this before. I like LLMs and use them daily, but I don't really like when people use them undisclosed for long-form prose writing.

This article is written by an LLM, by the way. ("Quietly" is... as Claude might put it... "often the quiet tell".)

I'm sure I could. The first pass being inscrutable dense noise just is annoying.

Tidal is pretty nice to use. Plus the music isn't compressed.

Astra is indeed the pinnacle of "black box slop". It is overall a smarter software development agent for many things I do, but the code sometimes is indistinguishable from Brainfuck when writing things like GPU shaders. It doesn&

Very helpful, thank you. Great ideas. Some of those exact things I've actually already planned or implemented, for the exact purposes you describe, and some are things I haven't at all thought of but which are definitely worth loo

Very good points. Weird question: do you have any tips on how one might apply these principles to a semi-stochastic synth plugin for musicians? (I have several ideas, but I'd be curious to hear yours, independently.)

One thing this article lacks is any tips on how to still do procedural generation while partly mitigating the oatmeal issue. In other words, define a more sophisticated generation procedure that can add character and identity. It probably w

Honestly I am in that camp, but Facebook is kind of a special case for me. I don't really care about giving Google or Microsoft or OpenAI or Anthropic all of my personal data, but Facebook is a bridge slightly too far.

It would be pretty cosmically funny if truly demigod-like ASI is still speaking pure Claudeslop.
19.
by meowface 8d ago
That is true, but I think within three years that will likely change.

Current LLMs couldn't write this. Ones in a few years possibly could. Betting AI will never be as good as humans at [X] is usually not the hill you want to die on.

That didn't happen with Fable 5.1 two days ago.

Did Dario Amodei say that?
23.
by meowface 15d ago
Dario Amodei and Eric Schmidt seem fairly well-calibrated, although a bit early. Elon Musk is constantly way, way overoptimistic (perhaps to the point of willful fraud). Zitron is hopelessly and ridiculously incompetent (and there are alleg

I am fine with socialists who actually try to provide clear arguments and proposals. That's why I'm a big fan of Cassie Pritchard, who is ideologically basically a tankie yet who actually engages in rational discourse (and who agr

1. It is extremely likely neither 8chan /pol/ nor 4chan /pol/ were or are honeypots. 2. Untrue. I heavily used both (not as a right-winger; just as a decades-long anonymous imageboard user who sometimes finds it fun to r

I didn't completely read your reply. That's not what I'm responding to. I am critiquing the proposal of socialism as the answer. My initial complaint was answered. My new complaint is with that proposed solution. Socialism is

LOVEINT is likely highly undernoticed. I am unsure if I'm 100% anti-Flock, but requiring a court order or exigent circumstance to look at any Flock camera feed may be necessary.

The problem is that socialism actually is bad. Neoliberalism is a much better idea that leads to better outcomes, and is based on reason and empiricism and systems thinking. Socialism is pseudoscience, vibes, and cults of personality and id

Many people want to critique power rather than propose and judge concrete solutions.

I think a sufficiently smart non-competent developer can still do this to great effect, but it definitely helps if someone is both a competent developer, smart, and a seasoned user of LLMs.
