And I understand why.But of course, today AI is used for enormous amounts of slop. And crypto conversely is how we determine what’s actually real.…of course, both AI and crypto are very useful. I’m just discussing the shift in perception from Q4 2022 to now. ...

Reminds me a lot of crypto.I see the downsides of crypto, but also the upsides.

Paste in a URL into an archive.is-like interface and get back the probability that any div on the page is AI-generated.In general my view is that AI text shouldn’t be used raw. I ...

There are now two kinds of AI retards.The first kind of retard uses AI everywhere, even where it shouldn’t be used.The second kind of retard sees AI everywhere, even where it isn’t used. ...
