currently testing out WisprFlow for voice dictation came across heylemon today that looks pretty cool too, but seems early stage and i won't risk it as of yet starting to contemplate purchasing a second blank laptop just to try out new tech
not sure why wisprflow does this, but it has been happening often

early tech issue? or maybe its my skill issue

China’s worsening economy has wrecked the appetite for global luxury brands. Demand that was supposed to return after the lifting of strict Covid-19 restrictions has instead slumped for overseas firms. This disappointment has helped erase shares at key luxury…
interesting study on the fertility effect of permanent wage growth
TLDR:
Men’s wage increase -> extra income gets channeled into more food for the table, bigger/safer car, ability to support more kids =more children.
Women’s wage increase -> extra income funds personal consumption + raises the opportunity cost of time out for pregnancy+childcare = fewer children.

This is a HUGE factor in the current fertility crisis in the world.
The more you pay women, the higher the opportunity cost is for child-rearing. It's simple math.
Women are the primary consumers in the modern world (up to 85%), where they drive the majority…

distribution and taste becomes the new moat
if you’re someone able to put products in front of people, you’ll become much more valuable (marketer or influencer etc.)

When building costs drop 90% but distribution costs stay flat, you get a gold rush where everyone digs and nobody sells.

china caps tiktok access domestically, but exports unlimited and unrestricted dopamine to the rest of the world

China knows exactly what this does. Their domestic version of TikTok caps kids under 14 at 40 minutes a day, locks access between 6am and 10pm, and swaps the entire feed to educational content. Science, history, museums.
The version they export to everyone…

AI is trained on data from us people, so it speaks and writes in our style
there will always be parts that sound AI because it is a descendant of us!

Everyone is starting to sound like AI, even in spoken language
Analysis of 280,000 transcripts of videos of talks & presentations from academic channels finds they increasingly used words that are favorites of ChatGPT

i've come to observe that regardless of how many times you tell AI to "make it more human", it can never do it
makes you think of all those people boasting their sub-agents researching viral tiktoks, creating content, and posting autonomously
their posts will never truly sound or feel human
this is more pronounced for writings than videos, because the visual aspects activates a second sense which makes it more believable
i think this is the part where the widely used word 'taste' comes in, because AI will never have it
just ask your AI to churn out a short piece, then prompt it multiple times to "make it more human"
you can even use multiple different AIs across chat, gemini, perplexity, claude, etc.
the result still reeks AI regardless
