    Spotting AI Written Material Is Easier Than You Think

    HOT! - AI - 
    Cool conversation and video. I use a lot of AI for the corporate world to keep the easily offended fairies from crying, and giving updates. The corporate world honestly in my view just brought it on themselves with this bland and meh way of expressing themselves. On other occasions I use it to...

    Thanks for the mention, @MJ DeMarco . I have to admit I was selling my family’s olive oil, but now it’s just a side hustle for fun. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still going, but the math doesn’t really add up. To be honest, it didn’t fit my style, and I didn’t truly want to scale it, so it became...

    No disagreement there. I think, for example, that the recent cuts to overhead from “middle management” and the extra COVID staff three years ago were justified, to an extent. But I’m talking about a specific breed of cretins who come into big companies and carry out the “enshitification” for...

    The most infuriating part is that the people who did that probably got a big salary increase, since cutting costs saved the company money without affecting measurable demand for the product. It’s one thing to experience it as a consumer, but I’m unlucky enough to have experienced it from the...

    I’m consulting businesses on process improvements, and what I hate about this job is having to persuade senior managers, directors, and C-level executives to adopt AI tools for automation with a solid business case when it’s obvious they should. Many of these companies set up “sandbox”...

    How did I do that? I think I mentioned what happens in the real world. I would really suggest you dive a bit into Steven Pinker’s work, it helped me see these kinds of matters with more nuance.

    No disrespect, even though I agree with 99% of the posts you make, I disagree with this one. Environment, circumstances and genetics, really do play a role. A counterexample: 95% of diets fail within three years, but most people have a desperate reason to lose weight, whether it’s for looks, or...

    Let’s stop and actually think this through. First, we go to a proper sleep clinic with real doctors to rule out medical issues. After that, we deal with everything else.

    I am currently reading Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche. It feels like an extremely tough Ironman challenge, but instead of testing muscles, it’s for the brain. You emerge on the other side mentally stronger, even if you don’t agree with the author.

    This is not rock bottom. You have several years of experience in your field. Stop excessive spending now and focus on finding a job/ gig where you’ll be paid the most. Fix your CV using both a recruiter and AI (ask it for best practises for writing CV), and ask someone in your field whose job...

    I secured my first six-figure contract today through my business practice. I’m not rich or in the fastlane by any means, but I’m really happy that MJ and this forum showed me another way to make money apart from payroll. Thanks guys!

    Today I built the simplest automation using Make, with ChatGPT in the loop to parse data from emails. It could just as easily handle voice or images. It honestly feels like magic. Makes you wonder why we’re still paying for expensive software when you can build these things yourself.

    Is there a way to pitch to big businesses? I find that pitching to big businesses for freelancing gigs literally feels like an interview. Alternatively, I have recruiting agencies handle the initial pitch on my behalf, so I can leave the parts I’m not strong at to them. I think having...
