Will the Fear of Being Confused for AI Mean That We Will Now Write Differently?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-12 06:03:33

by David Beer Could there be anything more insulting for a writer than someone assuming that their writing is an output of generative artificial intelligence? The mere possibility of being confused for a neural network is enough to make any creative shudder. When it happens, and it will happen, it will inevitably sting. By implication, being mistaken for AI is to be told that your writing is so basic, so predictable, so formulaic, so replicable, so obvious, so neat, so staid, so emotionless, s

The AI Ghost in the Machine Fired Him. Then It Gave Him a New Life

Mark Quinn’s story usually begins with an ending: a seasoned tech executive at companies like Apple and Amazon who was, in the ultimate tech irony, laid off because of AI. But the headline misses the real story. The layoff wasn’t the end. It was the moment the world changed for him, and the beginning of a journey that saw him turn the very technology that made his job obsolete into his most intimate collaborator, career counselor, and even parenting coach.

Leaked Document Reveals Troubling Details About How AI Is Really Being Trained

futurism.com Unknown 2026-01-12 04:45:40

Under the hood of a huge amount of artificial intelligence is an immense amount of human labor. This can take many forms, but a particularly prominent one is "data labeling": the process of annotating material like written text, audio, or video, so that it can be used to train an algorithm. Fueling the multi-billion dollar AI industry is a vast army of remote contract workers, often from less wealthy countries like the Philippines, Pakistan, Kenya, and India.

BMW M5 review: a PHEV worth its weight

theverge.com Peter Nelson 2026-01-12 03:00:00

After 40 years and six generations, 2025 marks the beginning of a new generation of the BMW M5: the G90 chassis. Featuring a ground-up redesign and a new plug-in hybrid powertrain, the specs are impressive. It’s not just its horsepower and torque numbers but its curb weight of 5,390 pounds, too. That’s no small figure, but the German brand’s never held back in this department, and it has never greatly impeded the badge. Well, until now.

Nothing Phone 3 review: flagship-ish

theverge.com Dominic Preston 2026-01-12 05:00:00

Nothing says that the Phone 3 is its “first true flagship phone,” and it has put its money where its mouth is. The phone is getting a full US launch, and at $799, it costs exactly the same as a Pixel 9, Galaxy S25, or iPhone 16. That makes reviewing the Phone 3 refreshingly simple, because there are only two real questions that matter: is this as good as those three? And will it be as good as what we’re expecting from the new Pixel and iPhone models that are right around the corner? The answer

Cats as Horror Movie Villains

news.ycombinator.com Archer 2026-01-07 17:19:38

Do people like watching cats because of neoteny? I doubt it, because adult cats don’t look at all like babies. But then why do we have this odd fascination with every ordinary action of a cat and treating them as instances of a Platonic Cat? I speculate that there may be an evolutionary psychology reason: cats in Africa prey on primates to a degree I suspect few people appreciate, and this seems to have been true for millions of years, making them our apex predator. So perhaps we are still sligh

For more than a decade, cryptocurrency lived in a regulatory gray zone.
