Reading moral philosophy is unintentionally blackpilling — the questions dogging us now are the same ones we were discussing 3,000 years ago.

Video has its place, but the most life altering change LLMs brought me is the wide availability of auto-generated transcripts. If we’re honest, video is inferior for delivering information when entertainment isn’t the goal. The amount of time I'm saving is unfathomable.

As a fervent defender of the English language, I wanted to push back, but he is of course right. We had nothing so succinct to denote both intensification and habituality. Weird.

Following discourse generators will rot your feed very quickly. No one should read or write deliberate stupidity, yet here we are, a slave to the algorithm.

Working with an LLM feels weirdly more mentally taxing than working alone, despite all the time saved, exactly why is a mystery to me.

The majority of modern American literature relied on the em dash, you'll find it everywhere in print. People should stop assuming they're reading language model output from that data point alone.

I'd love more information regarding this dataset. Anecdotally, I myself use, and read, 'delve' frequently in academic writing. It's always felt a mainstay of essay writing, there's a reason language models use it as a crutch, its an incredibly useful word.

Pop science books get unfair hate. Ten papers boiled down with a narrative through-line and a tacked on takeaway for 7.99. Great as audiobooks for stuff you’re only half-interested in. Problems start on the reader’s end; blind trust or poor application.
