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.

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”.

That’s “the Achiever” with different wording.

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”.

Ok.

With Brando the Mando Sando it boils down to work ethic and process.

He has said in lectures that while writing a first draft, an author should be able to push out a thousand words an hour. That’s pretty reasonable if you’re a decent typist and you’re just focusing on getting rough ideas down. Once he’s got a draft, he throws it to his editor(s) who gets to work. If he’s gotten a draft back from them with notes, he gets on that. Otherwise, he’s cranking away at the next first draft.

The man is prolific because he’s got his team dialed in and treats it like any other job. He shows up with a plan and executes.

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

Fucking outstanding!

Please be crimes against food, please be crimes against food…

Sure it does!

Most of the time there are four of them, but it draws them.

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.

It says why in the article. They sat cross-legged and chewed on the end of rushes to make a brush.

I don’t know for sure, but I believe it’s a context issue.

There’s nothing wrong with discussing the size and consistency of my bowel movements with my doctor, but it’s probably not OK for me to do that with a stranger on the bus.
