Fun read but I stopped after detecting AI: "The young blood doesn’t add youth. It removes age." "Feeding isn’t nutrition. It’s dialysis." Etc. Why is LLM so enamored with the "Its not x, its Y" idiom? Its so ridiculously overused its almost comical
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The flaw in trying to detect AI by its use of particular idioms is that it would have learned these idioms from its training corpus, which consists of writings from actual human beings. In other words, some people actually write like this.
You're absolutely right! I have a friend that has used ems all his professional life and is livid that they're now a telltale for AI. So yeah, false positives.

Key word here being “some” people. Not nearly at high enough frequency that this way of talking was noticeable before. AI uses this pattern CONSTANTLY and it’s very fucking irritating.
Hope the author has some garlic silverware lying around after such a revealing article
I realize now that I might be in trouble. Thanks everyone
Anyway, I hope your son, Adrian, is doing ok. I fondly remember hunting your horrors of the night with him

> The Suspects Peter Thiel Has anyone tried garlic on him? > Vampires don’t drink blood because young blood contains an elixir. They drink blood because their own blood accumulates factors that accelerate aging, and they need to periodically dilute it. I don't think this makes sense. Our bodies do not use the same blood forever.
>They drink blood because their own blood accumulates factors that accelerate aging, and they need to periodically dilute it. Feeding isn’t nutrition. It’s dialysis. This seems to be the emerging consensus. When you get older your metabolism creates all kinds of crap that circulates in the blood. You would like to have boosted kidneys parallel to real ones that can detect and remove all the slightly wrong proteins.

Are there any reasons for this to work on non-vampires? :D
That was my thought as well. At least naively, it seems to follow that regularly donating blood might have health benefits. A typical donation is half a liter, and a person has about 5 liters of blood, so donating should in theory remove about 10% of the crap you've got circulating, right? Edit: You can donate every 2 months, so donating as often as possible would roughly halve the crud every year (0.9^6 ~= 0.53, ign…
It's your metabolism that produces that junk with increasing ratio of stuff that you need. If you just remove blood, the ratio of good stuff to bad stuff does not change. Same with kidney filtering if they can't recognize the difference.
Blood transfusion from younger person gives you blood with better ratio.

>It is frequency-dependently associated with longevity. Paper where more frequent cycles in women correlate to longer lifetimes? That would have to be true if this were true.
I'm assuming you're referring to blood loss from menstruation? That's typically only 30-40 mL (1-1.5 fluid ounces, about a shot glass). Nowhere close to the amount given during a donation.
