Seems like the economic premium on IQ is going down, which is unfortunate since one never had to work much for it.
Neat, though:
> I'm a minimalist at heart. I use classic Vim with zero plugins. That means no LSP, no autocomplete, no code formatters, and no AI.
yet the author gives us an AI-written blog post :p
Yea, laches in equity, right?
yea my thought exactly. especially if the lawsuit expenses are on contingency, what is there to lose by filing?
I tend to agree with the post, but narrowly on the hook:
> Do you want to listen to music? Just open a Spotify playlist and let the algorithm figure out what you like. Please ignore the AI slop they will insert in between real songs to avoid paying royalties to real artists.
To be honest, my Spotify recommendation algorithm complaint is about the exact opposite, that it’s too conservative in what it suggests. Sometimes I feel stuck in a musical “echo chamber.”
I hear from this post that recommendation algorithms are too broad, but it seems from policymakers the bigger complaint is again the opposite (“echo chambers” and “rabbit holes.”) Not sure which is more compelling, but they are surely not entirely orthogonal features.
“not as writing but as output.”
I'm not sure what the primary signatories want, exactly. "No mathematics" safeguards added to frontier models, like the "no cybersecurity or bio" ones that currently ship? That seems like a bleak future. Protectionism like tariffs.

Damn even Nvidia is putting out fully Claude-written articles.
From the post, “and the incentive structures we have built are the experimental apparatus.” That’s a Claude sentence.
Was almost going to praise this article for not overtly sounding like Claude, but then I read this:
> and the incentive structures we have built are the experimental apparatus.
So close!
AI-written page, and it gets worse as it goes on:
> The modes are the load-bearing piece:
lol
Aren’t all the big chrome vulnerabilities type confusion?
They’re ZDR and the OAI ones aren’t
> Astra improved a term in a bound on these gaps that had remained unchanged for more than 80 years. We’re sharing the proofs and abridged chain of thought and verification materials for both results.
Looks like they listened to Terry Tao’s request for CoT in his talk on LLM use in mathematics?
Kind of sad how all these technical blogs just reek of Claude text these days. Hard read when it’s obviously padded by an LLM…
Since it's only discounted on the standard "OpenAI," non-ZDR route (old pricing on Azure), I'm guessing a lot of users won't see this benefit? Since a lot of users enable a global "ZDR-only" toggle on OR
Yea the "When the fact lives outside the model, a wrong answer has an address" sentence seems aggressively AI written. Saw that and my senses went off.
> Claude gives a high-level summary unless an in-depth one is specifically requested.
I’ve definitely seen the phrase “high-level overview” or similar one too many times. Perhaps that’s from the prompt.
The samples on the page read more like the model learned how to model an adult talking to a kid, writing instructional material for a classroom, etc. Hence why the knowledge boundary didn’t scale with parameters—the model just got better at
acting like an adult talking down.Perhaps the model knows a lot more than naively prompting it would suggest—similar to “vintage llms” knowing modern historical facts?

This text on this page is so aggressively LLM-written (Claude) I am struggling to understand what I am even looking at.

The Gorton machines being initially developed by a lens manufacturer made a lot of sense given the 1920s brochure material the author included earlier. That material (unlike the later versions presented) focused on the machine's ability to do circular engravings (exactly the speciality the lens text presumably needed)
The job req has "Recursive Self-Improvement" as one of the "area of expertise" checkboxes lol
The site itself is really leaning into the “made with Fable” aesthetic
