This is very cool work, and probably necessary to help prevent false positives But what prevents a malicious actor from iterating with their LLM to minimize the score on their text?
Of these, the only global existential threat comes from the US, Russia, and China. I would put China as the least likely of the three given their political structure favors long-term stability and seems to yield…

You do not have to believe population growth is fully exponential for it to be a valid conclusion. You just have to have human population grow faster than agricultural capacity, which it was. Additionally, it is…
I wouldn't say proven or disproven, as much as it became no longer applicable. The world he was modeling in the 18th century is a very different world than we ended up getting. IMO it's neither right nor wrong, it's…

I'm in the same boat, I always just press tab and let my IDE or text editor fill in with N spaces. Granted, I'm also someone who heavily encourages the use of Black as the Python formatter in projects I'm on,…

The grip isn't part of the hammer, but it's reasonable to replace it if it's uncomfortable to hold and use.
They train Claude on its own output and conversations with users, so tics like this are going to get amplified by virtue of being more common in the training set. That, and my conspiracy hat says it's a way of…
For real, the "Claudish" has become so painful to read that it just takes me out of whatever task I was working on. When prompted to use simple English without jargon, it's still filled with load bearing honest caveats…
