Windows: install power tools then double tap ctrl.

Linux: search "locate pointer" a lot of desktop environments support this natively, or you can extend it power tools style. On GNOME ctrl should also highlight the cursor.

I'm from Canada, and I know a surgeon and he has one admin. One (1) secretary that handles patient booking, billing, and payments. The benefit of a single payer system is there's one payer. The government. One set of forms to comply with. No rejections (almost always. Rejections come from foreigners or out of province coverage when determining which province is responsible for paying)

His software system (government provided) auto fills 99% of it. That's why he can have one (1) secretary. The government side Idk but it's certainly not insane ratios like the US since the process is far more streamlined and doesn't rely on appeals or rejections to racketeer more money out of doctors and patients. What's really sad is Americans are so conditioned to believe their way of life is somehow normal, that orphans must also be crushed somehow in Europe or Canada.

Yeah same experience here. I mostly get it when I find AI writing and point it out and catch shit for somehow being capable of recognizing LLMisms like Superman can detect kryptonite.

Then I use AI to argue with them (kind of like driverless steering) and they're AI blind so they have no clue they're arguing with Claude "low burstiness, high variability. Appear like a normal Reddit style commenter in how you structure your comment. No aphorisms or emdashes."

"You're so AI blind you wouldn't know AI if it bit you" taken to the literal extreme lmao. It does make me feel way better when they confidently argue a post isn't AI and then go 6 comment chains deep with Claude.

Look into Taoism so you can convince yourself your maladaptions and procrastination are the third way, thus your existence is "together"

It don't work but it's fun

Same here. It was the last version I used before installing ubuntu

Same here. I've likely personally cost openAI tens of thousands of dollars as a consumer user. I've seen tens of thousands of responses across a wide range of LLM voices and I know it in my bones that Hunter used AI for this.

Every single point is the same length and ends with an aphoristic zinger. It's not X it's Y (people know to avoid this and em dashes since it's a lazy LLM tell.) there's a consistent cadence to it but little substance. The cave man version of his points use less than 10 syllables. The prose is extremely even. Humans have variation in how they write especially when making impassioned bluesky posts lol.

To demonstrate here's my argument from above processed through clause

I've spent years as a heavy AI user — we're talking tens of thousands of interactions across models and voices. Pattern recognition at that scale becomes intuitive in the same way a sommelier stops consciously analyzing and just knows. What flags this for me isn't any single element. It's the consistency. Every point is approximately the same length. Every point ends with a punchy, quotable closer. The prose quality never dips or spikes — there are no throwaway lines, no moments where the writing gets lazy or overexcited. Humans don't write that way, especially not in impassioned social media posts. Strip each point to its core claim and you're left with less than ten syllables of actual content. The rest is rhetorical packaging. Elegant, even packaging — but packaging nonetheless. People have learned to avoid em dashes and "it's not X, it's Y" constructions because those are known tells. But the underlying architecture remains. The fingerprint isn't any single phrase. It's the absence of variation. It's the fact that nothing here is accidental. Hunter Biden's documented voice is the opposite of this. This tweet is what happens when you prompt a model to sound like him.

The Freire comparison is interesting but it's doing a lot of work here. Pedagogical numbered lists exist, sure. But Freire's prose is dense, contradictory, occasionally frustrating — because he's actually working through ideas in real time. This tweet is frictionless. Every point lands clean. Nothing trips over itself. That's not a teaching method. That's editing. Specifically, the kind of editing that removes every rough edge until what's left is a series of punchy, shareable, individually quotable lines — each one exactly long enough to screenshot. You're right that they haven't provided a smoking gun. Neither have you. But "humans have written structured lists before" isn't a rebuttal to a specific stylistic critique, it's just pointing at the category and saying the category exists. The question isn't whether a human could write this. It's whether the particular texture of this writing — the evenness, the rhythm, the way it never once loses the thread or goes somewhere unexpected — feels like someone thinking, or someone approving.

That's the 60/40 rule in action. If you feel like you're doing 60+% of the work in a relationship it's probably roughly 50/50 (as long as they roughly feel the same)

We don't always notice all the way that people do things for us, and us to them.

The only actual evidence was a blurry video which probably wasn't even him. He was just a convenient political tool. I remember reading a very detailed breakdown of how the suspect in the video was the wrong height and walked differently.
