I used to be really good at spotting it but my AI radar is getting less effective now. Often I don’t notice until late in an article which is very annoying.

There are some videos on Instagram that I didn’t notice were AI until my wife told me!

If I want AI content, I will go to an AI. The only good outcome is that I am spending way less time on social media because so much of it is now AI


Superbly put! Mad when you think of it like that and makes you realise how primitive man made technology is in comparison to the natural technology we come with

Can someone explain how this works?

Surely the bots are still hitting the pages they were hitting before but now they also hit the garbage pages too?


In authors setup, sending Markova generated garbage is much lighter on resources than sending static pages. Only bots will continue to follow links to the next piece of garbage and thus he traps bots in garbage. No need to detect bots, they reveal themselves.

But yes, all bots start out on an actual page.


Seems like these garbage pages can't trap bots. People discussed it in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45711987

Thanks for the explanation!

Ah, it is explained in another post - https://maurycyz.com/projects/trap_bots/

Clever


Does anyone have links to other awesome articles like this?

These are superb! Thanks for sharing

Love this. Gunna use plenty of these

Nice!

Taleb calls it the anti-library


Spiritually different intention, but both yield lots of unread material at hand. The parent's is "bought with best intentions" but letting it pile up despite that intention, Taleb's is purposefully accumulating material that you don't intend to read unless a future you finds it helpful to explore that book

This is what I do. When I see a free PDF that seems well written, or was suggested to me, I save it in the bucket “maybe someday I might need that” but l know I will 99% never read. My experience is that it is useful. At least 10 books that were deep in that bucket were useful for me, and ended reading them. I must have 10000 though.

The time is not far where you'll be able to train an LLM on them, which will then present to you the information as you need it.

Research tool!

Kenton is a class act


Haha, superb


u/Ok-donuts is clearly his alt. Absolutely pathetic


Such accusations are a dime a dozen and almost always false. (I myself have been accused of being people I'm not.) It's simply a fact that there are people who think alike or who form alliances or kneejerk defenses of someone.

In any case, Novati is not acting like a disinterested moderator.

Fitting username ... I'm the person who posted the comment just above calling out Novati for not moderating the alleged sock.


Oh, I also defended Michael. Not a fan of character assassinations / witch hunts / exaggerated claims.


I did this for a year and half as I travelled around South America.

Hard to describe how liberating it is to have so few possessions. So many choices you don’t have to make. You become so fleet of foot that serendipity is everywhere.

Glad I got the chance to do it


I experience the same liberation when I go to an all-inclusive resort! No choice to make but what to eat (which matters to me since I do all the cooking).
