Not surprised to see such negative comments, this forum is fried by LLMs nowadays.
I was immediately intrigued by reading a handwritten blog post, and enjoy ergodic literature, like this! I liked the message too, and this might shove me toward some handwriting projects I've been meaning to tackle lately.

#63Guard your mental resources. You always should have, but in the age of AI it is no longer optional. Simple algorithm for not wasting your time: 1) By default nothing is valuable or worth your while 2) Aggressively hunt for signals indicating potential worth (ancient pedigree and/or critical acclaim being most valuable) 3) Choose maybe 10% of what survives for actual reading, scan some others and dump the rest Oh, and…
This sounds like work for a personally aligned local agent interacting with your past and future media timeline.
It probably exists in some form, any suggestions?

Sturgeon's Law (90% of everything is crud) applies more than ever in the age of AI.
The best filter is time -- the cream does eventually rise to the top. And conveniently the time filter also excludes AI slop.

#65Proving care still leaves the audience to determine if the care is in the message or in attracting attention.

#66I've been thinking about something similar for a while now. Although my scheme involves cryptographic attestation and typing stuff with hands.
Quite easy to rig up a machine to type on a keyboard. I guess you could require a video of it being typed. Then, the typist could simply be typing in an AI generated piece of text. The only solution is to trust the person who handed you the work to accurately tell you the author, and then trust the author to be telling you any attribution. I personally have earned this trust as people know anything I AI generate will…
Agree. OTOH, people have been using plotters for simulating handwriting. Also, nothing preventing someone from hand-copying an AI written piece as I'm sure lots kids are doing these days for take-home assignments.

#67Handwriting is inherently ableist. A portion of the population is blessed with the inherent ability of fast, legible handwriting. A portion of the population is not. Typing is an equalizer that allows more people to participate in the conversation.

#68I think most people wouldn't appreciate it these days :(
Re: Proof of care in the age of AI
#69tangent rant, annoys me like "yeah senior engineer" or whatever, "yeah I can do that", puts the task into AI, puts up a dogshit PR can't explain how it works now more than ever can fake it
What do you mean the RAM goes brrr and the CPU goes tick tock and things just happen.

#70A long handwritten essay used to at least prove someone spent time on it.
