Count yourself lucky that you haven't read enough LLM generated text to spot these. Each one individually might not be a clear signal, but all together it's extremely obvious.

> Switzerland. Block by block. At 1:1 scale

> Real mountains. Real valleys. All of it walkable.

> Every block is one metre

> Every block is one metre

> Your browser loads the aerial image directly from swisstopo, only once you move the slider

> If it runs on your computer, all of Switzerland will too.

> the game builds the blocks from the world package

> You pay for the licence to the world package, the world calculated from geodata

> The world, however, fills the whole rectangle around Switzerland, including parts of the neighbouring countries

On a lot of London Underground lines, 5 minutes is considered poor service in rush hour. Every 2 minutes is required to handle the sheer volume of passengers

Just because you personally can't spot it, doesn't mean other people can't. There are a lot of very clear tells of AI writing, and this site is full of them.

I feel like your comment is a perfect example of what he was talking about.

> Russian politics over the last decades has so inculcated society with cynicism and conspiracy theory that people fundamentally do not believe in simple motives.

He was poisoned inside Russia in late 2020, and was extracted (by his family, he was in a coma) to Germany for treatment. He returned immediately after recovering in early 2021.

This seems like the easiest way to frame it to non-technical people to me. They know what passwords are.

This was made less than a month ago, it was almost certainly vibe coded already.

I don't consider it canon when a different group of people decades later make a timeline, just because they happen to work for the same company. It might as well be fanfic.

Sure but that's a retcon. They didn't have this in mind when they made the games.

Though it’s very funny to imagine Tao suddenly acquiring a massive ego:

> At any given time in the history of mathematics, there have been mathematicians … whose mental capacity for mathematics seems completely super human (e.g., the owner of this blog, among many others).

There have always been students that cheat themselves out of learning. It may even be the majority. It’s best to focus on the ones who have a genuine desire to learn.

I'm not sure I agree that it was ludicrously wrong. His thesis is "the question isn't whether self-driving cars will replace human drivers, but how quickly". Sure it's been slow going, but you can't walk down a street in San Francisco today without seeing a Waymo, which wasn't true a few years ago. We're still at the bottom of the S curve.

My dream game would be something like this: SpaceChem at the micro level, Factorio at the medium level, and StarCraft at the macro level. Your proficiency at each level would affect the levels above and below it.

Probably an impossible game to make, but I can dream.

And anyone selling flying lessons could probably afford a graphic designer, it sounds like we agree.
