The hyphen instead of an em dash suggests a human (though one could simply replace em dashes with hyphens to make the text more “human-like”).

No it doesn't. That bot's comment and every comment under its profile 100% reads like an LLM to anybody that has seen enough of them. I already knew that one was a bot before even clicking the profile. See enough of them and the uncanny valley feeling immediately pops out. Even the ones that try to trick you by typing in all lowercase.

An em-dash might have been a good indicator when LLMs were first introduced, but that shouldn't be used as a reliable indicator now.

I'm more concerned that they keep fooling everybody on here to the point where people start questioning them and sticking up for them a lot of times.

I've seen skills on the various skillz marketplaces that specifically instruct the LLM-generated text to replace emdashes with hyphens (or double-hyphens), and never to use the "it's not just <thing>, it's <other thing>" phrasing.

Also to, intentionally introduce random innoccuous punctuation and speling errors.

I do wonder if the way people speak is starting to change because of LLMs. The “it’s not just” thing (I forgot the name for it) is something that used to be a giveaway, but I am now seeing more and more people use it IRL. Perhaps I am just more vigilant towards this specific sentence construction that I notice it more?

But everything up to that hyphen was pure slop.

I remember being in 20 years old, at the start of my career, and complete broke. I thought Twitter was just a toy website, until one day I radically changed my mind.

I was a customer of a bank that treated me with nothing but contempt. Whenever I called the bank because of a problem, I would stay on the line forever to eventually talk to an unbothered representative. One day, instead of calling, I complained on twitter and tagged the bank. Half an hour later the bank apologised and fixed my problem.

America could set the standard and then use its soft power (or sanctions if it came to that) to make India and china follow suit. The problem is that America is now hellbent on burning the world, and its soft power is all but gone.

Remind me again when was the last time congress declared war and how many other wars the US was involved in since then.

Do you think this is a good thing?

What specifically?

The fact that congress hasn't been involved in a declaration of war for a very long time.

Visione TV is a mouthpiece of the Russian propaganda machine. The account being frozen was most likely the bank doing its due diligence due to the sanctions on Russia.

You can. This is how it is currently done, but it is not easy. It needs to have a large enough surface area to radiate the heat, and also be protected from the sun (as to not collect extra heat). For a data centre, think of an at least 1000m2 heat exchange panel (likely more to train a frontier model).

A lot of people in positions of power in the AI industry are also buying remote plots of land, building bunkers, stockpiling medicine, guns and gold…

You are missing the part where we built our society on the fact that people need at least some money to exist with the basic level of dignity.

I thought about this a lot, which is why I greatly value doing the occasional electronics project, home renovation or even cooking. There is just something about working with something I can touch.

I wonder if writers feel the same.

You are right to push back on that.
