folks should also look at burrows delta - i forgot which books but some folks were able to identify a ghost writer by stylometry alone.

ive said this on many threads, you cant just have text output from an llm (regardless of style / "pseudonym") and have it be "unique" because the nature of the transformer model itself is literally present in the output words. it will be detected as llm output every time. it has to be!

for pure anonymity, i suppose then it is an answer... for the actual craft and art style of writing it is not

If you're worried about it use a VPN.

Your ISP anyway knows your IP or at the very least your current one if its dynamic.

100k tokens "by lunch" is also not my finding, the newer models will hit that already right in the initial exploratory phase

but i also dont doubt in a few years time models with those benchmarks will be able to be run locally

still many many breakthroughs to be had

Just tokens produced by weights.

Useful, but never forget that ground truth!

To my pleasant surprise, I’ve been noticing a sort of revival of posts related to writing here and on the web at large. This is either due to my own return to the craft of writing, or it really is a broader trend of AI power users realizing that AI is really, really bad at generating good prose.

Regardless, I’ve found AI to be a useful tool for filling in the gaps in creative writing craft and terminology that I never learned in school. I am an engineer by training and trade, so most of the writing “skills” we learned were for technical writing, lab reports, and the like.

This site was also heavily inspired by the “Laws of Software Engineering” post that was quite popular a few weeks back:

In short, people have been having the day off for decades now. It's called part-time work.

The best example is when an abbreviation can be expanded to more than one phrase, and both are widely used.

This is the main line for me. Even around the bonfire with fellow grugs if you got eaten by a tiger, I'm not sure you fully would understand that either. So I'm not exactly sure what this post is getting at? That human history so far is "bad" and we "did it the wrong way"? I'd argue 99% of human adults are just folks trying to do their best to provide for their family. Maybe I'm too much of an optimist though.
