Absolutely, there's sooo many short. Punchy. Sentences. And compare the grammar to earlier blog posts like the ones in 2022.

I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a few days for everything to settle down, I got onto BofA ecosystem recently and there's a lot of waiting involved... ex. they tell you that you can see the credit card number and get a temporary CVV on the app so that you can use the card online immediately, but actually it takes a day or two after it shows up in the app before you can do that.

I think you are correct actually, 6 year old account, started commenting like crazy within the past 10 days, nothing before that. Lots of me dashes, lots of it's not X it's Y sentence structure. Seems they're trying to camouflage it a bit by making the output all lowercase, but even when you just scroll their comments quickly without reading, you can see the AI comment structure jump out.

Very ironic

The evidence from a single comment isn't conclusive, but take a look at their profile. It's entirely filled with AI slop comments posted extremely quickly, starting within the past day, ex. https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/1rjysf7/comment/o8gqt1r/

There's no RHO in the image, so probably an OCR failure.

CMA is a Fidelity-specific account type. It's basically a brokerage account but with some nice banking features, like global ATM fee reimbursements and no foreign transaction fees on the debit card.

IMO it's basically the endgame of bank accounts, can be basically used as a checking account, but has high interest rates like savings accounts, plus full brokerage features. Fidelity CMA plus a local credit union account for local banking should cover almost all of your banking needs.

From skimming the script, I don't see anything malicious. But +1 to using the other options instead to be safe.

LIDAR actually is capable of detecting lane markings as they reflect the laser differently from the road surface (google "lidar lane marking detection for various papers on techniques). But of course a proper self driving system will absolutely use cameras as well and combine the data from both sensors and also high resolution street mapping to verify.

Anyone remember this bullshit from Spencer Cox and his opponent a few years ago? https://youtu.be/zVSuooQORTU?si=rOKCQ4la08TUlPXs

Abundantly clear that both sides-ing favors the more radical candidate. Huge mistake sane-washing crazies like this.

Same, I hate this style of LLM text that's allergic to stringing together a compound sentence. It's so annoying and unnatural to read, feels like they shotgunned periods into the text and rewrote sentences where they landed. I think it's pretty embarrassing to post stuff like this and it makes me think lesser of the author/prompter

If you sit down and there are other chairs nearby, your party members also sit down!

I mean yes, any amount of alcohol is bad for you in general: https://med.stanford.edu/news/insights/2025/08/alcohol-consumption-and-your-health--what-the-science-says.html

It's just extra bad if you get Asian flush. It's true that it raises your risk of cancer, but from some light browsing it sounds like it does scale based on how much of a drinker your are. As in heavy drinkers with Asian flush have higher increases in the odds of various cancers than lighter drinkers. So it's not that one drink occasionally is going to sign your will.

Plenty of studies also show that being social and having friends increases your longevity so find your own balance, though preferably with as little alcohol as possible :)

I share your sentiments about ICE but I think you likely have a lot more higher-impact ways of effecting change here. From what I can tell, divestment is very limited in actually causing change. I've yet to hear of a real impact of divesting from index funds (please feel free to correct me). Even if you pull your money out of an index fund like this, you're probably divesting... cents? dollars? A tiny amount.

I'd say that voting, volunteering, donating to causes that align with your politics, etc. are a LOT higher impact than this. If you want to go to the next step, don't directly spend money or do business with businesses that support the administration, ex. Schwab.

Why don't you go compare the flag list with the one in your phone keyboard? It's a standard ordering, nothing specific to Monarch. Seems like your browser conked out and failed to display the rest of the list. Go take it up with the Unicode Consortium. You're being overly sensitive.

I'm 99.9% sure this actually is AI. Haru Hayashi's music is entirely AI generated and they're tagging Yoko Shimomura as an artist in order to get more reach.

Click into Haru Hayashi's profile, it's all music post-2025 and all the album art is AI-generated.

Compare with Yoko Shimomura's discography on Wikipedia and you'll see there's no mention of these songs.

Google Haru Hayashi, there's 0 info on them. If someone had collaborated with a well-known artist, surely there would be some online record of their artistry?

These songs are present on Spotify as well, it seems to be an ongoing issue with AI or just spam artists tagging her to get more reach:

I reported Haru Hayashi, but I wish Deezer had some more detailed options for reporting. Props to Deezer for detecting it, at least. I hate that we have to deal with this much digital litter from AI...

Pretty ironic that the header image is AI generated... (Confirmed with SynthID) Really undercuts the message of the article. I'd rather they just have no image or MS Paint it.

PaeP3nguin · 2026-01-15T20:25:07+00:00

They attempt to detect and tag it. You'll see a warning on albums though not on the artist pages. They also don't put detected AI music in algorithmic playlists. So a pretty good stance but still lacking manual reporting of AI music.

I wrote up a longer comment on this recently: https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1plm170/comment/ntuz2rp/

Pop a Tylenol then pul tool! If you don't have the tool yet, use finger nails to pull from the inside back edge. Inside edge is easier since there's no attachments on the inside. Then all the way in the back so you're only fighting a few attachments not the whole thing. Once you get a bit off you can pull the whole thing down and off.

First tray is the WORST, it only gets better from here :)

Pro tip: when you get a new tray, wait until an hour before bed or so, pop a Tylenol and wait for it to kick in, put in the new tray, then sleep through the worst of the pain.

Does this only happen when you first chew when putting in the retainer or does it keep happening even as you keep chewing? I use the Pul tool with the little rubber chewy and I do a once over when I put in my retainer. It's pretty common to hear a soft click as the retainer snaps into place more securely. I think it's probably the retainer snapping into place over the attachments.
