I wholeheartedly agree—though after laying out a good initial argument this paper takes a strange turn with the final two sentences that seems to undercut most of its own force.

It’s good to see papers start to address LLMs as structural plagiarism — provenance, more hidden than the original words or training data. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

A DROP OF CORRUPTION by Robert Jackson Bennett - 2nd in a series of murder mysteries taking place in a fantasy world. RJB writes great fantasy, and these layer on an extremely Holmesian take on a military detective and her adjutant. #LibFaves25

I don't trust a slot machine - pretty easy to rig.
But in a casino, you can at least see some folks win sometimes.
The online slots? Seems like a perfect recipe to have people pump money into a prize-less machine.

There are 18 tables in the library.
I set up book processing on 2 of them.
Which tables did the students decided they NEEDED to sit at today, despite there being 16 other tables in the library?
I’ll give you a second to guess.

Thurs, printed 43 cards. Started folding them, decided I needed 7 more, printed those - had to go to office to pick 'em up.
Went back to folding. Counted total, and was somehow 5 short. Printed 5 more, folded those, counted, everything is good.
