I've heard 40,000 since it happened.

But sounds like you're saying it decreased since last week.

I've never had an AI write for me. I don't really understand why people would do that unless English was a foreign language, perhaps--even then, it should be translating, not writing.

It's not that hard to learn your own language. You presumably are using it constantly, every day. It should be a high priority to know how to spell the words you're using, IMO.

I do make occasional mistakes, but mostly from using the "swipe" keyboard on my phone, and failing to catch the mistake.

I don't proofread things like text messages or forum posts--only important emails, or documents that will be posted publicly at my business, and therefore reflect on me.

If I'm not sure about a word I'm using, I either look it up, or rephrase to use words I'm more familiar with.

For me: the chicken door goes into a fenced enclosure to keep the chickens safe from predators.

I don't want to enter the enclosure, so I have my own door to go in and service the coop, fetch the eggs, etc.

The enclosure has a gate when I want to let the chickens out, as well.

Having an enclosure lets me leave the house for a couple days, at least, and not feel like I've imprisoned them.

Because I want the result, not the journey.

I code to build things.

Anyone can get a "result". It's the quality of the result that matters. The intellectual journey of choosing the right algorithm, optimizing the code, etc. Software development should be a journey, not a goal. Once I learned that and started applying it as a manager, I found that team productivity and quality both rose. The result came from the process. Systems trump goals in nearly every endeavor in life.

I don't work on a team. I don't have a manager.

I need things. That's why I build software.

The journey is made up of little results. If you like having results, that implies liking the journey as well..

LLMs takes the "little results" away, and ruins the whole fun. And sometimes the final result takes you somewhere you didn't want to go.

If the odds are set correctly, you should have the same EV on either side of a bet.

That's why it's hard to beat Vegas at sports betting--they set the correct odds way too often.

When regular folks make up their own odds, they're not very good at it, but in theory the market just buys up any +EV position, even if it's a longshot.

They've got some robots that do it already, targeting weeds with lasers.

Yeah but they’re never going to be as versatile as a humanoid that can identify one, move the crop gently aside and rip it out of the ground. I’m sure the lasers fail pretty quickly after the plants are a few inches tall due to lack of visibility.

The law already covers this kind of thing using the reasonable person standard.

Walmart is bound by anything an employee says that a reasonable person would believe that employee has the authority to offer.

So if an employee tells you that you can have half off the service if it isn’t done today, probably bound by it. If they tell you the owner will give you a handjob probably not.

Indian scammers don't

I don't ever have the AI misunderstand what I mean.

I do get bullshit answers sometimes, but it always understands my intent.
