A case study in unintended consequences with 2nd, 3rd, and 4th order effects: 1950s: Killing mosquitoes in Borneo solved malaria problem but led to typhoid and collapsing roofs—by killing roaches, lizards, and cats, which helped caterpillars and rats. m.sfgate.com/homeandgarden/…

Crémieux It's not just an "It's not X. It's Y." The post also uses the LLM-beloved em dash too. Likely someone edited it though: LLMs don't often put spaces around em dashes (nor do they use incomplete sentences). unaiify.com/un/jQ3mwMWM

Tubing at the Park City Olympic Park. Deal with it.

I don't believe you, Microsoft.

Behind daily step goals and needed to clear my head. Did old man 3 mile run on the treadmill. Testing LUNA Mono Retro huaraches, tracking mileage to see how the Vibram Morflex soles degrade over time. Also seeing how they feel running. Need for a "tech strap" is interesting.

Daniel W. The least AI-writing detectors could do is show what's causing the writing to flag as AI/GPT generated. Un•AI•ify identifies rhetorical patterns prevalent in AI-generated writing. Though judgement is still required. That grade level though. unaiify.com/un/qHwZ3H4b

Howard Luks MD GuruAnaerobic Iñigo San Millán I believe what's needed in our culture is a shift toward lifestyles that are incidentally healthy. The lifestyles we have today are incidentally unhealthy and trying to o make them healthy seems to lead to results that are sorta like the middle-aisle foods we eat. They have a

Naval How many people suffer from some (or multiple) Pascal's Scam or Nocebo Effect today? What's the relationship between these things and winning attention on the Internet ... or the advice to "touch grass"? x.com/naval/status/1…

Ethan Mollick Does AI understand what it means to disagree? Consider the overuse of "It's not X. It's Y" in AI responses and AI-generated writing. ("It's not X. It's Y" is the first pattern my AI writing detector looks for. I.e., unAIify.com.) Does AI understand what it means to

Anirban chowdhury Intentional invocation of "It's not X. It's Y" or incidental? unaiify.com/un/APPtFBcJ I use AI to draft writing daily. I'm in marketing, have written content for years (thousands of content pieces over 20 years). Using AI to help is a godsend. What I want, though, is better

Ethan Mollick Consider for a second thinking about communication as negotiation. Two people (or whatever other configuration) pass ideas back and forth. Communication is full of errors and missteps ... and this is a feature-bug of how it works. You negotiate and work at some semblance of

Gary Once you're aware of the rhetorical patterns, they're unmistakable (e.g. everyone loses their mind now about em dashes). If you're unaware, not so much. What about if you're the "converted"? Could you want to be preached to? Anyway, checks out: unaiify.com/un/XYdt1AGg

I see bot-like writing everywhere. (Turns out lots of people like it.)

my thesis is that people who post "AI writing" under their government name just can't tell it's bad writing. could be AI, could be them, maybe more likely AI. but the crime isn't that it's AI, it is that they can't tell it's bad writing.

GREG ISENBERG Stick with me for a second: Perhaps AI ruins social media because it is a low-cost way to rent-seek attention (as a reply-guy per your example). Why is being a reply-guy effective for grabbing attention? Why does AI use attention-grabbing rhetorical patterns? Attention is
