Tumblr user nocryptographer: I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

as much as I hate modern AI stuff, there's this sentiment floating around that LLMs are almost always wrong, but that's just not true

I think it's better to attack LLMs/GenAI for the actual bad things it does, rather than overstating things it doesn't really do that horribly with

And day to day, life's a hard job, you get tired, you lose the pattern. You need distance, interval. The way to see how beautiful the earth is, is to see it as the moon. The way to see how beautiful life is, is from the vantage point of death.

The comic is titled "My Favorite Fighting Game Archetypes:" Panel titled "The Grappler That Barely Fits on Screen". It's a huge, extremely muscular, bald 'pro wrestler' type character with metal bands around his arms. He is so big that he doesn't even notice his opponent, a regular sized guy in a yellow karate gi trembling in his shadow. His head is also bending the health bars above them. Panel titled "The Small Idiot With a Big Stupid Weapon". It is a girl in a predominantly pink Japanese schoolgirl uniform with with a yellow ribbon on the collar, running excitedly, a sparkle in her eyes. With both arms she is wielding a full sized heating radiator. Panel titled "The Straight Fundamentals, No Funny Business." Is it a grey-haired older man tightening the belt of his karate gi, which has yellow patches on the arms. He has a stern expression, confident in his mastery of his craft. Panel titled "The Funny Business". It is some kind of purple imp type guy in a pink-and-yellow jester outfit with teal pom poms attached to the 3 points of the hat. He has a bag with a metal spiky ball, a giant wacky wooden hammer, and a banana peel inside it. There's also a whoopee cushion that fell out. He is pulling a gun out of it.

I am fearful of a lot of things the Trump administration is doing, but the most essential fear I have is that what they ultimately represent is the total breakdown of the absolute breakdown of the impracticalities necessary for life in a complicated world, like trust and truth.

A man says "fuck it. I wanna be serialized. I'm tired of living comic to comic. I want to experience more. I don't want my eternally reviving body to be used for momentary vignettes. I want to be somebody." Another man says "Oh Gary, I don't think it works like that. We are doomed to nothingness after the next panel." Gary shakes his fists toward the heavens and shouts "NO! I refuse! My name is Gary! I deserve more life!"
