Twelve hours, folks.

You see less AI generated fewer.

Three whole hours and the descriptivists haven’t come by to tell us there are no rules to language. This might be a record.

It will take some people’s professions. People who write click bait articles, schlock product reviews, and pulp romance novels, and the things modern Hollywood describe as scripts might be out of a job.

Quality novels, hard-hitting journalism, and innovative storytelling of all sorts is outside of the capability of LLMs and might always be. There’s a world where nearly all run-of-the-mill writing is done by LLMs, but truly original works will always be made by people.

At the end of the day, though, if a person can’t out-write an AI they might be in the wrong line of work.

I was about to say …

Vox can speak for itself. Big sections of the public knew they were being sold a bill of goods.

That’s goddamned hilarious.

Nothing is stopping them from doing it, which is why when the cops get a report of someone pointing a gun at people they have no choice but to assume it’s real (unless it’s obviously shaped like a super soaker). If the person training their gun-shaped object on passersby points the gun at the cops they usually get shot because the cops aren’t willing to bet their life that it’s not some asshole who put orange acrylic paint on the tip of a real gun.

There are some hobbyists that paint their guns to look like a Nerf gun or a Nintendo gun controller. The general consensus is “it would be stupid to take this out anywhere other than the range”. This is much less common than the opposite: toy or pellet guns that look very realistic.

No, fuck that! We spent twenty years nation building there and the first time they needed to stand up on their own the ANA folded up and ran.

They weren’t willing to do the bare minimum to avoid Taliban rule. It’s not our fault they were too stupid to see the consequences when they rolled over and let the fucking cavemen take over.

Same here, but for fiction writing.

If I get stuck in something or need to figure out a character motivation I’m like “dang, I need to take a shower about this”.

Proof that if a system or technology exists, nerds will try to run Doom on it.

They’re like “dang, that’s a neat snake”.

The ones in their imagination.

Knickerbockers, fur coat, bow tie. It’s … distinctive, I’ll give him that.

Pardon me, I was told that it was only a kiss - it was only a kiss.

Ampersand is another good example. “&” was considered the last letter of the alphabet for a while. Schoolchildren would recite the alphabet and finish it with the phrase “and, per se and” (“and, meaning and”).

The words got mashed together over time and the word “ampersand” was born.

The bar is pretty low these days.

HELL YEAH, BROTHER! AROOOOOO!!

DID I HEAR SOMEONE SAY THEY WERE CRANKING THEIR HOG?

Oh fuck me, you’re right. I got that mixed up with Timeline!

My bad, I’ll delete the other comments.
