Given how many contests, anthologies and magazines are currently struggling with a flood of / -generated spam, have you heard about anyone trying to fight the problem by asking specifically for stories which AI cannot easily write?

Even the best models I've tried cannot easily use themes, symbols and structures - they always come out unnatural.

Are there any specific limitations, formats that can work similarly?

About a month ago, I entered into a small "language contest" that was set to prove that no "newschool" language (Rust, Zig, Nim, etc) is ready to replace C in the embedded field.

The deadline was about 10 days ago, and according to the original technical evaluation criteria, my Free Pascal solution won, but got disqualified, because "we already know, Pascal could not replace C".

Programming languages rise and fall, human stupidity remains. I rest my case.

If you're into , normally you don't see many stations working above 28600, let alone 28700 kHz.

But today, with International DX , there's EXTREMELY HUGE activity as high as 29000 kHz!!!

Even last year it didn't go THAT high! 😱😱😱

randk,

I chose @Tutanota because of their focus on privacy and the strong data protection laws of Germany and the European Union. I believe should be a human right that is codified in law. Thanks!
