Create some sort of score that goes up when a "child" misbehaves. The further the child the lower the increase but at some point you get banned anyway

Your detector did not work well on an AI-collab writing fiction project I did a while ago, tagged it as 100% human even with high confidence for the most part. But to be fair, most detectors weren't significantly better, although this one gave a justification that made sense https://aidetector.com/

Stopped reading there: "This model (Moshi) could [...] recite an original poem in a French accent (research shows poems sound better this way)."

On: The price of fame? Mortality risk among famous singers

[Miraltar]

Is it still true today?

[reactordev → Miraltar]

Are you asking if a drug and sex fueled lifestyle is still pursued today by musicians? The answer sadly is yes. There are lots of musicians that don’t go full throttle but most of the highly famous ones are running the red line. This is the OP’s point. Whether it’s the person amplified by the lifestyle that makes them famous or it’s the fame that enables the lifestyle that allows them to destroy themselves.

The road is littered with smashed guitars.

Speaking of roads, everyone points out lifestyle choices, but the lifestyle of popular bands/musicians is also countrywide or worldwide tours. It doesn't look like an easy life, so I wonder to what extend those excesses are related to being on the road maybe half of the year? I think this means no true social life for extended periods of time; not having people you value telling you that you're past that red line is one less safety.

Also, artists in general are a peculiar profile I think. It's not only famous singers that take drugs, commit suicide etc. One can easily find many writers and painters, some of them even only became famous postmortem.

I'm guessing they used the same argument that was made for calculators, printing... By lessening the burden on your brain you weaken it.

I think it's fine when you're just working on your own but if you have to review code or work in a codebase you don't own that's much more effort.

That's not really what's said. If you regularly change languages and some are supported and some are not, switching to unsupported languages will be very unpleasant. Having to switch editor/install plugins/customize can be tedious.

On: On the Existence, Impact, and Origin of Hallucination-Associated Neurons in LLMs

[Miraltar]

Yup, three years of fighting on "correct" use of words. Maybe someday people will accept that LLMs do "hallucinate" even tho it's not the same "hallucinate" as for humans.

Agreed, the original title is better (and typo free) although a bit long.

Keep in mind that not everyone on the internet uses English as their first language and they might use words weirdly cause it resembles what they're used to
