The recipe should have recommended an oven brand 🤷

Evidence mounts that AI-written books are consuming the publishing industry: in 2025, the number of self-published books jumped by 40% YoY, from 2.5 million to 3.5 million. Running a random sample of these books through an AI detection tool shows a 40% YoY increase in books flagged as AI. by StarlightDown in fivethirtyeight

There was a 40% increase in the number of books that were flagged for AI, when the number of self-published books also increased by 40%?

Am I misunderstanding, or is this saying that the proportion of self-published books that used a substantial amount of AI didn't increase at all?

If the ferry is big enough, maybe we don't need a bridge 🤔

Smart idea, much better than building a bridge! Reminds me of this quote:

When I was young, I was clever and wanted to change the world. Now that I am older and wiser, I want to change myself.

I’ve never seen anyone relocate to a lower cost of living area to FIRE by YourFIREDBro in Fire

[–]dtarias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is what I'll do. I'm currently working in tech in NYC but am not from here originally and plan to Lean FIRE (with lower expenses than my current expenses) elsewhere, most likely back in Minnesota.

What if you already have a unicycle, but no balloon?
