Makes sense

Jab, jab, thrust is how I think about that pattern. Or tap tap whack, if you prefer. And it shows up for for positives too:

"Smooth. Effortless. A perfect fit for your needs".

In any style of informal or persuasive writing this shows up , as if it has to drive the point in.

I kind of wish we'd stop talking openly about what the tells are. It's nice to be able to determine with fair accuracy - but it couldn't last forever.

Least this way it’s out in the open perhaps, since enough users have training enabled labs will naturally learn what annoys us.

Had the same thought though

Yeah, I think in this case, pointing out what’s obviously llm is genuinely useful since it will lead to more diversity in websites and a better tool. I mean I don’t usually care if a website is LLM generated as long as the copy is human written

Ironically, your entire post can be read as such, almost perfectly!

Labeling each sentence (J)ab and (T)hrust, and using colon ":" to indicate arguments, one gets:

```

J: J. J. T.

J: "J. J. T".

T: T.

T: J. J. T.

```

I call it "I'm not like other girls" writing.

Imagine a world where everyone talks like an Apple product page.

There are plenty of tells. Quotes and dashes don't even have to enter into it.

"considered and mindful order of presentation" -- along these lines my favorite programming book is the Commodore 64 User's Guide, coupled with the reference. I was quite young and found the programming section very approachable. It build on itself in logical layers, and I felt like I had a companion to guide me through the process of learning and understanding. IIRC, I read it like a novel a couple-few times in the process.

And now we see the beginning of how even local LLMs will be turned against their users -- by persuading agents to advertise to them.

I don't think that's what you're intending here, but it's the next logical step. Agents are on the Internet, and they represent an opportunity to reach their humans.

I miss reading things written by humans.

I am starting to see so much consistency in the "it's not AI, it's overhiring" commentary that it's actually starting to feel like a narrative constructed to allay concerns about AI impacts. At this point it's a "pandemic overhire correction" that the industry has been doing for two years, and is accelerating.

Yea, I don't know how long they're planning to milk the "pandemic overhiring" excuse. Ten years? In 2030, we'll still be seeing headlines like "Company X lays off another 10,000 workers due to overhearing ten years ago..."

That's a huge gap for llama.cpp server - any idea why?

Best guess is it's native mode. The function calling template is just broken for Nemo.

I did go with an extreme example in the post (but true). Other deltas are smaller but still statistically significant. 30 pt swing between llamserver prompt vs ollama, 4-5pt swing between llamafile and llamaserver prompt.

What chances do the vast majority of those graduates have to shape what's happening? That happens at exec level at the largest companies. Everyone else gets to produce or consume what they decide on.

Exactly. I work at Google and I’m relatively high level. And I’ve got zero input into AI being shoved into every surface. What influence will these grads have?

Did your generation think you would get to have any influence?

The same generation that is using those companies for everything.

Wanting the benefits but not its downsides.

May have been better as: "I like stawberrries, and walking to the car wash to clean my car."

You're absolutely right! My mistake. I should have said: "I like starwberries, and driving to the car wash to clean my car."
