小説投稿サイトに必要なのは「AI読者」だ——埋もれた作品に、最初の読者を。|Masa Kei note.com/masa_kei/n/n05a4a9a0f

> このAI読者という仕組みは、書き手だけでなく投稿プラットフォーム自体にも利点がある。
> 読者ゼロの作品を減らすことにより、書き手の離脱率が下がる。AI読者がSNSで作品を紹介することは、これまで閉じた生態系だった投稿サイトと外部の読者をつなぐ経路になる。埋もれた名作が発掘されるたびに、そのプラットフォームへの信頼が積み上がる。
> コンテストの一次審査をAI読者が担い、AIによる寸評を読みつつ人間の編集者が作品を読む。そういう運用も現実的だ。

ということを考えている人もいるというのは、意外ではないですね。で、あなたたちはいったい何を求めて小説を書いて/読んでいるんです?

"Even worse was the suggestion by Grammarly’s A.I. version of me to replace the first sentence of the news article with an anecdotal opening describing a fictional person named Laura whose privacy had been violated.

“Laura, a patient searching for relief from a chronic condition, clicks through her hospital’s website to schedule an appointment. In just a few moments, her most private medical details — her reason for visiting, her doctor’s name and even the treatment she seeks — are quietly sent to Facebook, without her knowledge,” the bot suggested with a button allowing the user to paste that excerpt straight into the article.

Replacing a factual sentence with an imagined story about a person who doesn’t exist is not only bad editing. It’s a deception that could end my career as a journalist (or the career of any journalist who took that terrible advice).

And this is the problem with A.I. It doesn’t know truth from fiction. It doesn’t know an investigative news article from an offhand comment. It flattens all content into word associations.

What Grammarly made wasn’t a doppelgänger. As the writer Ingrid Burrington wrote on Bluesky, it was a sloppelgänger — A.I. slop masquerading as a person.

And it must be stopped."

Is your timeline a bit empty? Do you want it to be filled with interesting posts and nice accounts?

Here's a simple non-technical guide to all the different ways you can discover accounts to follow on Mastodon and the wider Fediverse:

➡️ fedi.tips/how-do-i-find-accoun

There's no algorithm on here so discovering people and posts may take a bit more effort, but it also tends to produce higher quality more humane results.

If I've missed a method let me know 🙂

we've reached the "dont complain about AI because its hyperbolic and only drives people apart, morality isnt a binary!" part of the curve.

imagine resisting anything with even like 5% strength, imagine! if you are a supposedly a critic of this technology, however nuanced, it's on you to make cases and explain how we are going to use something for its benefits without succumbing to it's costs. and right now the cost is total alienation and dispossession in a fascist surveillance dystopia

Since I became vegan (1 year and 7 months ago) I haven't eaten out much.

I did bring home food from a place now and while it was tasty I can't help to think that there can't have been much protein in the meal.

Also, all TV shows I see when they make vegan food it seems to be missing the needed amount of protein.

I've seen a YouTube video with professor Christopher Gardner from Stanford University, and while it's true that 98% of popel does not need more than 0.8g potein/kg body mass, one have to take into the calculation that A - the body can't absorb all protein from a plant based source, and B - even if you mix for example beans with rice you can't get a perfectly complete protein profile (compared animal based protein).

So even if you have 40g of plant based protein in front of you in a mix of say beans and rice, your body might only get 32g complete protein.

So instead of calcualate 0,8g/kg body mass you should aim for 1.1-1.3g/kg.

Yes, I am a overthinker and I tend to obsess about stuff.

Any long time vegans out there that have some insights of this?

LLM access is relatively cheap now because the LLM vendors are discounting their price at a massive loss, subsidized by VC, in order to get you addicted and to drive as much skilled human labor as possible out of the workforce permanently.

The goal is monopolization, and if they’re successful, you’ll see monopolistic pricing in the future.

@lapcatsoftwareJeff Johnson already happening in some corners of the market. I know a person who became professionally dependent on using Perplexity. They gave them a 12 months free plan, cut short to 4 then asked to pay 20€ a month. After 8 months this plan was also eliminated and the price is now 200€ a month for less than what they used to get for 20. Obviously they're in a bad place now, and Perplexity is still likely losing money over that.

데드 스페이스 리메이크 하고 있다. 현재 챕터2까지 클리어. 슈퍼 겁쟁이 모드인 스토리 모드로 플레이 중인데 무섭지가 않다. 아니 그야 당연히 스토리 모드로 하니까 안무섭지요. 라고 말할 수도 있겠지만, 호러 게임에서 공포감을 주는건 난이도만이 아니다. 점프스케어, 연출, 조명과 그림자 등이 복합적으로 공포를 일으켜야 하는데, 딱히 무섭지가 않다. 대충 보아도, 아 여기서 나오겠구만, 아 저기서 또 뭐 나오겠구만. 하는 그런 느낌. 신체훼손 연출도 내 입장에서는 그렇게 무섭지 않음.

1. The Foyer

A gentleman arrives at the manor. He is being greeted by the manor’s butler who is about to escort him upstairs. The gentleman arrives after lunchtime; he is not here to feast but picks the time when all the family members visit for the holiday.

This is a first room from a commissioned piece and the story is to explain my thoughts behind the characters. I will share the rooms one by one. 
It's an illustration of a foyer with two characters looking at each other. There's a shorter man with a cane and luggage beside him and a taller man who is a butler. The room is small and an arched door at the back with the stairs. There are different wooden furniture pieces around around the room and a framed botanical drawing. The room is mostly beige and green.
