Fantastic post. You took a subject that never made sense to me and made it seem simple.

I don't think you mean "Alas, ScrollPods was born". Maybe "And thus,..."?


Yikes that's embarrassing. Thanks for pointing this out and as you can see some good ol human error ;)


Pangram claims to be super accurate. Do you know how? I understood detection is a hard problem.


Their technical report (arxiv.org/abs/2402.14873) goes into it.

They train a classifier on human text paired with AI-generated versions of the same documents. Dataset scale is comparable to LLM pretraining sets.


I hope they don't start bugging our homes.


You joke, but...


I'm setting up my site and (slowly) adding some previous projects. Enjoy.

> We estimate that these laws prevented fatalities of 57 children in car crashes in 2017 but reduced total births by 8,000 that year

These two options are not equivalent. I will take 8,000 3rd children not being born over 57 kids dying in car crashes every time.


You’re getting downvoted, but a win is a win, and reduced birthrate/fertility is a huge and clear win on the planetary scale. Fewer people = less waste/pollution = smaller ecological impact = less competition over finite resources. If we find policies that reduce birthrates, we should always implement them.


This policy only reduces the birthrates of wealthy people who follow laws, so it's self-defeating, in that the future generations of poor people who don't care about laws also won't care about reducing their ecological impact.


I've used your library and really like it!
