Recently, a company called Pangram appears to have finally made a breakthrough in this. Some studies by unaffiliated faculty (e.g., at U Chicago) have replicated its claimed false positive and false negative rates. Anecdotally, it’s the only AI detector I’ve ever run my papers through that hasn’t said my papers are written by AI.

I did some searching and found this, which seems to be a pretty good source?

I don’t think any country should remove another country’s president under any circumstances, though.

Things appear to have changed; thanks for drawing my attention to that. I may start editing some articles in my broader area.

I can’t without doxxing myself more than I’d like. It wasn’t an article about himself, nor his research. This was about 10 years ago, so the rules may have changed. I’ll take a look and edit my post accordingly if so.

A problem with Wikipedia is that experts are not allowed to contribute to their areas of expertise because they’re “biased” (see edit below). I know a professor at a top university who used to spend his free time editing Wikipedia outside of his specific area but in his broad area of expertise as a method of disseminating science knowledge to the public. When the higher-up Wikipedia editors found out who he was, they banned his account and IP from editing.

Having the lay public write articles works when expertise isn’t required to understand something, but much of Wikipedia around science is slightly inaccurate at best. (This is still true, probably owing to the neutral point of view rule [giving weight to fringe ideas as a result] or the secondary source prioritization over primary sources.)

Edit: current Wikipedia editing rules and guidelines would not support this ban, so things appear to have changed. Wikipedia still recommends against primary sources as authoritative sources of information (recommending secondary sources instead), which is not great. But, they explicitly now welcome subject matter experts as editors.

Taylor Swift also arguably contributes something of value–music that a lot of people really like. Doesn’t mean either of them should be able to amass that much wealth. The tax system in the US is broken. In the US in 1961, for example, stock buybacks were illegal (so stocks paid dividends, which are taxable income), and any income above $32,000/year was taxed at 50%, up to a marginal tax rate of 91% for any income above $400,000/year. In contrast, the highest marginal tax rate in the US in 2024 was 37% for any income above $731,200/year, and companies buy back stocks rather than issuing dividends most of the time. Further, most millionaires and billionaires amass wealth through stocks rather than income, using loans against stocks for cash, meaning they pay almost no taxes and continue to amass personal wealth.

I thought that was Gabe Newell

I can find no evidence that it is permanent; stopping the drug should return most folks to normal.

Thanks, I appreciate your perspective! The job wouldn’t be in Copenhagen, but I do hope to visit before the offer deadline.

Thank you!

Would you recommend Denmark to someone from the US considering taking a job there?

I think the green line adds to it tbh. Almost like the metaphorical tunnel when you’re about to flatline, which is the universal transition point.

Current multimodal models can pass those with ease iirc

I could tell you were using Gnome literally just by you saying that there was something you wanted to do but couldn’t. In my experience, Gnome has basically no features and is still super buggy. Linux Mint Cinnamon and Solus Budgie have each just worked super well for me. I switched from Windows and had a bumpy ride until I found those two. I use Solus at home and Mint at work, both without issue.

in a made up language

Aren’t all languages made up?

That went right over my head. I figured zog was a typo lol. Thanks!

I’d never heard of this. People are crazy lol

I’m naive. What’s the whistle there?

It’s a common general education requirement for college in the US, yeah. Biology, physics, psychology, economics, English/writing, math, etc. are often all required, or at least a selection of most of the discipline-intro-level courses is.
