Marvelous examination of how to spot 2026-era AI writing, via the Economist

- AI likes long sentences with less punctuation; “and” is its most overused word
- relatedly, lists of three things, which drives up use of "and" as well
- polysyllabic adjectives: “significant”, “increasingly”
- scientific jargon ("rate-limiting," “parameter”)
- nominalizations (making nouns from verbs: eg, “expansion” from “expand”)
- ofc, everyone's favorite: "it's not X, it's Y"

After exploring China more as an American it’s pretty apparent why the US is getting mogged.

1.Drugs.

Drugs are a pure negative on society and I haven’t realized the impact until now. It makes sense why the Chinese don’t have “homeless”. Homeless to Americans mean people lazing around on the streets, often high. In China, there are a ton of people below the poverty line, but they are all doing something. Swarming around hotel lobby entrances selling umbrellas, back to back fruit sellers, etc. They weren’t given the option to turn to drugs that’ll ruin their life.

2.Politics induced polarization

In the US, the two political parties are incentivized to brainwash voters with their talking points. Polarizing takes will always perform better than neutral ones due to how the internet engages with content.

That is why I start most of my tweets with some form of ragebait if I want it to gain traction. “As an American”. The dangerous thing about political rage bait is that they don’t need to be lies, it’s so easy to invoke certain reactions by presenting truths in a certain way.

For example, the datacenter water argument. One side has clearly been fed propaganda on how data centers are destroying people’s lives with their water consumption and environmental impact. The other side has been fed propaganda about the water usage numbers compared to golf courses and how data centers don’t use that much water. As a result, you have one half of the country in protest and the other half thinking the first half’s retarded.

If only presented with one truth, both parties would reach the conclusion to simply focus on making better data centers in a way that doesn’t disrupt people’s lives.

3.Short term profit incentives

When politicians are elected for 4 year terms, they gain absolutely nothing by investing in a long term plan that takes 20 years to pan out. Thats not going to get them re-elected. They get re-elected by fucking over the economy for short term glowups during their 4 years.

The Chinese can implement public infrastructure projects that span decades. They’ve been doing that shit since the Great Wall. Nowadays it’s resulted in high speed trains and citywide subway systems.

4.Anti-tech mindset

50 years ago the United States was the world’s leader and China was a shithole. The Americans did not see much improvement in their lifestyle with the rise of tech. Meanwhile China was transformed in a large part due to the technological advancements over the years.

Along with nostalgia and political talking points, it is not a surprise that many in the US are against tech advancements.

This was made very clear with AI. Almost everyone in the US opposes it, they see it as massive corporations taking advantage of the people and milking them for profits with the result with their own work. Which is true.

Meanwhile the Chinese understands that advancements in technology makes everyone’s lives better. The models are the culmination of everyone’s work and should be opensourced.

5.Illogical empathy

Due to diversity and polarization incentives, society’s been broken down into many layers of sub identities. Race wars, gender wars, class wars, sexual orientation wars, etc etc. It’s resulted in a massive web of what is considered morally correct within your own group of people, at the risk of alienation if you break ranks.

For example, if you buy a Tesla in the US you are against trans people. Meanwhile, the majority of cars I’ve seen in China is electric. The Chinese have no qualms about EV adoption, it’s quieter, reduces smog, and environmentally friendly. Pure net positive for the government to subsidize various EV manufacturers so the cost is lower on the consumers, and the consumers were happy to make the switch as the result. Win win.

TLDR Beijing/Chongqing is hard gapping NY/SF rn and we need to pull our shit together.

Anthropic is lobbying for rules that allow the government to block the release of "dangerous" models, including open-weight models.

Obviously, you are supposed to ignore the fact that these open-weight models threaten Anthropic's business model.

But we all knew these companies only care about their profits and what benefits them. What's surprising to me is how their foot soldiers—most of them extremely smart people—are carrying water for their Caesar with extremely bad-faith arguments.

¿Por qué tanto pedo por el wey que aventó restos de cerveza a una chava que estaba grabando el gol de México?

Pues eso se hace en los estadios, aventar chela en los goles, divertirse.

No lo veo tan grave.

[alejandro @bacteriamuerta]

@Evangaylionn No, no es conspiranoico. Solo pendejo. Daño cerebral permanente puede ser. Pero no, no es conspiración.

[alejandro @bacteriamuerta]

@JosueRLeon @terefifas Jajaja pobre pendejo.

@hhjimenez ¿Fuiste a Miami? Wow. Cuéntanos más por favor.

@meh_agarwal This guy now wants to be a hero. You made a cringe post, people reacted. That's it. You not better than anyone else.

[alejandro @bacteriamuerta]

@UnnaTuitera No, no idiota. Solo te falta barrio 😂 Esos era de Sonido la Changa. No me encantó el desfile, pero era obvio que querían mostrar cosas aleatorias de México y de fútbol. Pero bueno.

[alejandro @bacteriamuerta]

Ehh no soy un genio ni nada, pero ¿no será que el tema era "México"?

[Mon® @UnnaTuitera]

@arq_trejo Ay mi pendejo.
Subí 4 cosas de un desfile entero.
Si puse que no había un tema específico, es porque no lo había.
Futbol, catrinas, alebrijes, charros, trajineras, aztecas, mariposas, carritos de golf… no tiene sentido.

[alejandro @bacteriamuerta]

@UnnaTuitera @arq_trejo Se llama "México" el tema. Hay monografias en la papelería más cercana, amiga.

[Swaggy Unc, IQ 267 @swaggyunc]

Eating in Mexico coming from England or Scotland has got to be a transcendent experience. Like seeing colors for the first time

[alejandro @bacteriamuerta]

Literally no Mexicans are offended by this. Not a thing.

[The Valley @tasquillovalley]

@MarioNawfal We all of us Mexican feels offended with this kind of gringos stereotypes
👇🏼

NO BODY SAYS NEVER EVER

Come on don’t be ridiculous

@fadule_ Dark Knight Rises is an absolute piece of shit. Nolan at his worst. He clearly didn't give a shit at that point.

@edwardcurrent @MuiruriMbau @Dispropoganda The whole point of the meta verse was that YOU existed, make decision and act in there. The whole point of agentic AI is that YOU DON'T. Confusing avatars with agents it's pretty wild 😂

[alejandro @bacteriamuerta]

@MuiruriMbau @Dispropoganda Premonition of agentic AI? Come on 😂

[alejandro @bacteriamuerta]

Yo tampoco soy el más grande fan del trabajo de Frida Kahlo... pero también no namen jajaja

[BowTiedPassport 🇺🇸 in 🇲🇽 @BowTiedPassport]

Frida Kahlo’s notoriety is a CIA pysop which tricked Mexico into promoting a subversive female icon to destabilize the nation’s traditional, family-oriented social structure.

During her life, Frida was largely overshadowed by her husband, Diego Rivera.
While Diego was a muralist using art to educate the masses on power, labor, and history, Frida focused her art on internal struggle and personal weakness.

Once the CIA quelled the "Red Scare" and suppressed labor empowerment, they were able to pivot Mexico into a manufacturing hub for America.

Then by replacing the traditional matriarch with a rebellious individualist archetype that could be exported worldwide, they effectively destabilize the Mexican family by glorifying non conformity and trauma over civilizational stability.

@sergioopina_ Misóginas? En serio hay gente que le encanta buscar la pendejada en todo. Coachella es un festival que se adapta a lo que vende en el momento. Cualquier cartel de cualquier año tiene estrellas que no fueron el acto principal. La música popular cambia. Supéralo amigo. No te claves

[alejandro @bacteriamuerta]

@juanburgos @rierfm @JerrxG13 Dentro del "templo". Como dices le dejadas jajaja Por eso hay que ir a la primaria. Los vendedores ahí siempre están.
