We hire
annotators to read 300 non-fiction English articles, label them as either human-written or
AI-generated, and provide paragraph-length
explanations for their decisions. Our experiments show that annotators who frequently use
LLMs for writing tasks excel at detecting AIgenerated text, even without any specialized
training or feedback. In fact, the majority vote
among five such “expert” annotators misclassifies only 1 of 300 articles, significantly outperforming most commercial and open-source
detectors we evaluated even in the presence of
evasion tactics like paraphrasing and humanization.

A Judge Accepted AI Video Testimony From a Dead Man
Gabriel Horcasitas killed Christopher Pelkey in 2021 during a road rage incident. Horcasitas was found guilty in March and faced a sentencing hearing earlier this month. As part of the sentencing, Pelkey’s friends and family filed statements about how his death affected them.

Painting With the Web
Yet, 25 years after “A Dao of Web Design” we still approach building for the Web with a mindset of control, using linear workflows and static design tools that often don’t reflect the Web’s true nature and potential. The canvas we work on has transformed, the materials we use have changed.

Automattic has 100-year domains ($2,000) and 100-year hosting. ($38,000, includes domain). Jesse mentioned we could get christopher.org onto that as well.

One of these is similar to what we built for the German class.
Detecting and Countering Malicious Uses of Claude Anthropic
The most novel case of misuse detected was a professional ‘influence-as-a-service’ operation showcasing a distinct evolution in how certain actors are leveraging LLMs for influence operation campaigns. What is especially novel is that this operation used Claude not just for content generation, but also to decide when social media bot accounts would comment, like, or re-share posts from authentic social media users. As described in the full report, Claude was used as an orchestrator deciding what actions social media bot accounts should take based on politically motivated personas.

WordPress Multi-Multisite: A Case Study | CSS-Tricks
The catch? You’ve got about 900 live blogs, spread across about 25 WordPress multisite instances. Some instances have just one blog, others have as many as 250. In other words, what you need is to compress a data set that normally takes a very long time to compile into a single user-friendly screen.
