My personal "tell" is that I use -- instead of em-dash. If you get a message from me with an actual "—" character it's almost certainly AI generated. I guess that's kind of my duress code :)

-- is n-dash and wrong. That's how you recognize an uneducated person. — is just opt-shift-hyphen on mac. no excuse for ascii n-dashes.

Ok. Today I learned. But I'll still continue to use -- because I don't care enough to be correct and most people will understand me regardless. Being pedantic about it doesn't seem very productive.

Interesting to see they shipped an "anti-slop" taste skill: > description: Anti-slop frontend skill for landing pages, portfolios, and redesigns. The agent reads the brief, infers the right design direction, and ships interfaces that do not look templated. Real design systems when applicable, audit-first on redesigns, strict pre-flight check. > - *PREMIUM-CONSUMER PALETTE BAN (mandatory, second-most-recurring AI-tell…

> Em-dash (—) is COMPLETELY banned. It is the LLM's signature stylistic crutch and it is the #1 visual Tell in production tests. There is no "limited use" allowance, no "natural language frequency" allowance, no "in body copy is fine" allowance. None. I guess the em dash is really dead.

In my nearly fifty years on this planet, I've never used an emdash. not once.

Is Hermes the best openclaw like agent as they mention running it before? Also, what are power uses really using openclaw like systems for?

I didn't have good experience with Hermes. Vellum.ai was better, but unfortunately it had a bug where opencode go providers failed to work for a time, so I instead starting writing my own. (Now it is working)

Hey, Marina here from vellum! What was the bug?

I've been posting my writing on the internet since 1990, from a Mac where we all learned how to make en and em dashes, umlauts, accents, degree symbols, proper single and double quotes, and so forth from Day #1 and I have absolutely no plans to stop using em dashes.

Nice try, ChatGPT. Though I agree with GP: models and harnesses are being updated so hard to avoid any use of em-dashes that soon it will be a tell of human writing. The the pendulum will swing back and forth, forever.

back and forth. forever.
