So it's OK to do it --- just don't talk about it?

> just don't talk about it

No, that's just the headline / reporting misquoting. He didn't say that. Jensen specifically said it was a cop out (not a direct quote word for word either).

Labeling it negatively is just a diplomatic way of saying "don't talk about it".

More like "It's ok to do it, just don't blame AI for it"...
jqpabc123•36m ago
Same, same.

“sit with it a moment” or similar phrases is one of the more common anthropic tells ive seen. ughh
xg15•44m ago
Yeah, there are a lot of AI-isms in there. Also weirdly sometimes the entire "rythm" between sentences as well.

> The fear stacks. It compounds. And it creates political and regulatory blowback that lands on the entire industry, including the companies doing it well.

I am utterly repulsed by this now-pervasive staccato impact writing. LinkedIn is a quagmire for AI-generated copy.

I’ve seen people use that phrase long before AI.

Is this the new thing that’s going to happen now? People use phrases that have been around forever and people accuse them of using AI?

I’m glad I’m not going to college in this environment. How unfortunate and demoralizing it would be if I wrote an essay by myself in a college class and the professor thought I was using AI.

I haven’t been to college in a while. That was long before AI. I do have access to some of my old essays. Based on their tone and some of the wording I was using, I don’t doubt that some people would accuse them of being AI written were it not for the fact I wrote them many years ago.

Will college students now deliberately try to avoid certain common phrases out of paranoia of being accused of this?

its about overuse of rhetoric in a dilutive way.

sitting with something is for way more personal or emotionally intense shock than one ceo saying other ceos are lying sacks of shit about layoffs, albeit in ceo speak.

a republican party die hard from like the 70s or earlier would be so shocked and disgusted by the modern incarnation that would literally need to sit down for a while just to emotionally process their shock and disgust.

shitty ceos not owning their fuckups, not shocking

What's happening (in the most part) is that because people used that phrase long before AI, that its in the AI training set and being slopped back out at us.

This is no specific comment on the article or its contents. But I am getting extremely tired of headlines that follow the "X just Y (and it changes everything you thought you knew about Z)" pattern.
stephc_int13•25m ago
The reality is that many CEOs don't really know what they are doing.

The disruption is not following their playbook.

When faced with uncertainty we tend to look at past examples, the industrial revolution, the internet, electrification, etc. I think it is a weak predictor.

We don't know. But I have the feeling that it is going to be worse before it is getting better.

There are huge signs of capital misallocation and public sentiment backlash, the curve ahead seems likely to look a lot more like a roller coaster than a smooth ride.
