The last of us

My wife is a journalist and has always loved them.

Now she's been accused of using AI for her pieces.

Oh well.


> Now she's been accused of using AI for her pieces.

Read the observation that AI was (presumably) trained on the 'best' (or at least 'quality') writing, and so if good writers tended to use em-dashes, it should not be surprising that AI generates text with it.

But, if one's personal style included using them, you should continue to do so because why should you dial down your own voice just because someone else may be mimicking it?


em-dashes help flow ideas better than other means. For whatever reason, it's easier to process in my brain a comment with an em-dash rather than trying to split the idea into separate succinct sentences.

You can do small succinct sentences, but style-wise it sucks for longer passages.


Thank you for such a great product


Glad you liked it. I still have fond memories of working on it.


Congrats Robin.


Thanks! Always a surprise and a pleasure seeing my stuff on here



Thank you for saving my time


Wonder what Motorola thinks of this.


What GPU?


It'll be my next if it works


Same here.


I pirated this as a kid.

I've probably bought 10 different versions in the meantime to make up for it


I was playing demo dozens of times. I do not think it was even possible to buy it via legitimate sources at that time where I lived. Great memories when I was finally beat the first ep boss.


Make up for what? I don’t get it.


For illegally copying software.


Prior to the DMCA, copyright violations were a grey area. In most countries, in order to seek damages a company had to show users were selling copies or using IP for promotional purposes.

Now... people are using the same RIAA/DMCA laws to hijack youtube channel content from legitimate creators. The damage to publishers is done by the time it is sorted out.

As a business, it has always been better to go after distribution channels rather than squeezing customers. =3
