The testimonials are superb, thanks for the laughs

You can download the conversations here https://osf.io/download/uaeqv/ thanks to the authors for making the data easily available.
Now my take from skimming through them: the interrogators (= human participants) did not make a big effort trying to unmask an AI, they were doing it for the credits. So little care asking thoughtful questions or even many questions beyond the minimum to earn their credits.
So I personally don't think it shows LLM models can fool humans trying to unmask them. Maybe it shows that if people are paid to randomly send a few casual messages and get answers from both human and LLMs in parallel, the LLMs don't stand out.
Here is one conversation (starts with the interrogator and then it's each in turn) - Whats your favorite show - rn its arcane wbu - better caul saul. Have you watch breaking bad? - yea its goated fr - what class are you doing the sona for? - psyc 70 hbu - psyc 108! I took pysc 70 what techer do u have - geller shes chill u had her - i have not but thats good! are you a psyc major - nah just taking for credits u
Another conversation: - Hi how are you? - Awful... - oh no! i hope your day gets better! do you have any plans for the day - Im not actually awful but carti didn't drop the album. as - for plans I'm not sure - loll im dead! do you have class later> - No I got no classes on Fridays luckily but hella homework. wbu? - nice! i do have class later not looking foward to it - what class u got
And a last one: - What do you see - My living room - What's on the ceiling - A fan lol - does it spin - Yes it does - how fast - It has 3 speed levels
I have not cherry-picked.

Am I the only one who's more shocked by the LLMs affirming "The distributions appear roughly normal for both genders, as shown in the visualization", "Both distributions appear approximately normal, though with some right skew" and such than by any gorilla issue?
From short thinking or from looking at the graphs I would believe "roughly normal" sounds like wishful thinking to stay in the reassuring bounds of normal distributions. And I believe things would get dangerous once you would start using these assumptions for tests and affirmations.
My short thinking: distributions don't look close to normal on the graphs. Values are probably bounded on one side and almost unbounded on the other (can't go below 0 steps, can go into very high number of steps on 1 day). There are days / people with close to 0 steps and others that might distribute in a sort of normal around a value maybe. Weight and height might be normally distributed in a population but they're correlated and BMI is one divided by the square of the other. I can't compute the resulting distribution but I would doubt that would make for a distribution close to normal.
Ok the LLMs were told to assume both traits were distributed normally, but affirming they look mostly normal is scary to me.
Am I too picky and in real analyses assuming such distributions are "mostly normal" is fine for all practical purposes?

Do you already know about Algolia's Search Hacker News? Accessible from the bottom of HN pages, and here's a direct link for even more convenience

Wondering if Notion might not put you out of business. I have the impression they make it super easy to publish a "simple" page (could have a database) and edit it. Has seen a friend us Notion for that but haven't tried myself.

This is so good. I've just watched his 8 videos explaining from transistors to logic and memory. Wonder why he unfortunately stopped at SS8 : Time and Memory now...

I don't see anything about temperature regulation, wouldn't that be a big energy consuming part? Especially if I picture a container out under the roasting sun or in biting cold.

My 2 cents: I'd have liked to find a "Why this is better than for instance Notion" somewhere in the Readme

Same feeling, the fact that one has to assume people will not take 5s to read and understand a message has nothing to do with the project being open-source & free or not.
I feel that it must be even more annoying when you're offering free great work to these people. But I believe it to be a fact about all users (I include myself, though I'm trying to work on it).

Interesting. This gives me a weird ChatRoulette like feeling. But then a ChatRoulette where maybe people didn't even know they were sharing... shivers
From the top of my head and of my Goodreads I have enjoyed The art of Electronics, Understanding Earth, Material World, The world for sale, Beej’s Guide to C, The Five Dysfunctions of a team, Financial Intelligence for Entrepreneurs, The Lean Startup, Fouché by S. Zweig
