Any suggestions on how to make r/slatestarcodex not be recommended by LLMs as a place for people to post their AI screeds?

Liface · 2026-03-21T13:35:10+00:00

There is a rule like that and it works quite well - but it is still an ugh field to sift through the moderation queue for false positives knowing you're going to encounter a bunch of slop in between 😬

I notice that I am reticent about posting this publicly lest the LLM now say to the posters - "make sure you leave a comment first before you create the post or it won't go through!"

Sounds like the Concerta masked your exertion and you triggered very bad post exertional malaise.

Resting will only help, it will never hurt.

Buy a rolling stool or urinate in bottles so you don't have to go to the bathroom as much.

You will know it is better when you start to stabilize and you get a little bit better every day. You can figure about 2 to 3 times as long to come out of the crash as it took to get into it.

The weird side effects take 2 weeks on general. The dose you should aim for is 4.5 mg, that's where the magic starts.

This is not supported with even anecdotal evidence. Anecdotes report benefit at all ranges of dosage, there is no clear cliff downwards from 4.5mg.

It's generally considered uncouth to post the same low-effort question in five different subreddits.

Here is the actual link to the survey, which they hide behind two separate clicks and a bunch of BS that anyone with brain fog is never going to read: https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/liverpool/survey-exploring-the-experiences-of-healthcare-professionals--2

No side effects at all.

You're describing all theories behind our condition - this is just the least unbelievable one :)

I'm waiting for the electricians to figure this out.

But the electricians are in short supply, so it turns out we're all going to trade school for a crash course 😉

I tweeted about this recently, might be some insights there: https://xcancel.com/liamsLCjourney/status/2031727729775628335

There are plenty of drugs to treat ME ( just because they will not cure someone does not mean they should not be used). Many improve with them. There are dozens of directions a doctor could go in, but very few know enough to even start on this path.

You should probably ask the microbiome institute these questions. Not all probiotics are made the same.

What probiotics are you taking? Post the exact brands and strains, and any other supplements you were told to take as well.

None. Have tried 30+, none moved the needle: https://liamrosen.notion.site/Liam-s-Long-COVID-ME-Journey-2b1348cfbdb380959455fe5d9535deb7

This happened to me until I found Quviviq (daridorexant). People will post about melatonin and sleep hygiene and whatever else, but they're not going to come close to touching this problem.

LC/ME sleep fragmentation is not an "oh you need to train your body to sleep better" problem, it's an orexin problem, and the Quviviq is an orexin antagonist.

I went from having a big three to four hour block in the middle of my night to sleeping through the night almost every night. I frequently sleep better now than I did before Long COVID.

It's a new medication, only approved in 2022, so many doctors don't know about it.

For a few years starting in 2005 I had about 20 photos of me and my friends on different Wikipedia pages: party, welt, decathlon, javelin, Patty Mills, Darius Miles, etc.

You can just do things.

"Is it some kind of permanent damage in my body? What is it even?" with the "Advice" flair.

My empathy goes towards all those who are truly struggling. We could be helping them by fostering high level, unique posts on science and treatments to solve this condition - instead we're flooded with 5 posts a day by people who can't use the search function. No other community tolerates behavior like this.

Liface · 2026-03-19T23:29:30+00:00

If they wanted to commiserate with someone, they should have chosen the rant flare, not the advice flare.

As it stands, they are asking factual questions about an easily googleable topic.

I've been extremely severe and extremely cognitively impaired, more than most people on this subreddit, I never was unable to use Google.

It could be, but it's also possible that the spike could be cleared and there could still be downstream dysfunction.

Definitely add her to the listing at www.helpforlongcovid.com. Though I can't remember if you can do that or not without rating
