i don't even like scorpions, but love the "no scorpions were harmed" detail.

jeg kan bekrefte at det er en veldig vanlig tankegang, ja.

and i'm doing what nobody asked for: because i can't in good conscience contribute to this bs, i'm not just cleaning up the text, but taking out the lies.

the edited version is a lot shorter.

i'm also removing the m-dashes, which aren't even used in my language (we use n-dashes).

oh god. i've been tasked with editing a message from the editor about how our readers can trust us because we don't publish ai slop. the letter is obviously ai generated, then ai translated, and it's all bs and lies and hallucinations and m-dashes.

the whole thing is ai slop!

hvis man bruker den tiden som trengs for å få kvaliteten på en KI-oversatt tekst opp på samme nivå som en tekst oversatt av en kompetent oversetter, sparer man ikke noe tid på å bruke KI. hvis man driter i kvaliteten og utgir KI-oversatt ræl direkte, kan man spare masse tid og penger, men utgir ræl.

it's unreliable af, but my skills in most languages are far worse than unreliable and i need to be able to get the general gist of texts in a lot of languages i don't speak. but if i need a reliable translation i hire a human translator and pay them so generously they can afford to do a proper job.

i'm pretty sure i read it somewhere and didn't just make it up myself, but i have no idea if that source was legit or just made it up. also it may have been the twin who died in a plane crash in 2010 and after that happened nobody wanted to draw attention to the very silly vanity thing anymore.

did i imagine that some time around 15-20 years ago one of the kaczyński twins (they were president and prime minister of poland back then) banned pictures taken of the less photogenic side of his face?

can anyone else remember if this actually happened?

a couple of months ago i deactivated grammarly on my work laptop. mostly because it was annoying and not really useful, but also it kept getting more intrusive and AI-ified to the point where it was just pissing me off all the time.

gotta say i'm feeling ok about already having ditched grammarly.

i mean why not? it's cheap and easily available in a million different colours and styles, very little effort or investment required. like what do you consider the realistic options to be? a beanie is too warm in summer, and i'm hardly going to wear a safari helmet on my urban commute, am i.

not a man, and i don't wear them anymore, but did for a while when i had very short hair. kept my head comfortably warm (when it wasn't too cold), shielded my eyes from bright light, hid a bad hair day.

also i was dealing with a lot of anxiety back then and wearing one felt like protection.

adding up how much i've slept the last 3 nights the total is less than 8 hours, no wonder i feel like crap.

(last night was entirely my own fault, i stayed up to watch kilauea have an episode on live webcam because i can't not watch when that happens. but dang how i'm paying for it now.)

de er vel omtrent på samme nivå som canada, der enkelte av provinsene markerer sin selvstendighet ved å ignorere én eller flere av de føderalt vedtatte dagene. de sveitsiske kantonene er jo ellers også enige om 1. januar, 1. august og 1. juledag, så de har 4 felles dager.
