"Amazon fused the bootrom shut"

Seeing as its not a physical thing, I wonder how they did that

Edit: sorry, this stuff just keeps annoying me. I'm adding more

>"Amazon did ship the fix in June 2024’s Fire OS 7.3.2.9 but I didn’t update my tablet, ran 7.3.2.6, so it never got the memo."

Memo? It's a software update.

>"Then I gave it the pep talk:"

As if this specific pep talk were a ubiquitous thing we all know about

>"Claude had taken me as far as it was ever going to be allowed to go."

Oddly authoritative, you don't really know how far it would go

>Kimi announces the find, and hedges its own odds in the same breath: “per-attempt success is probabilistic (single-digit-to-low-double-digit percent is typical).” I stayed anyway.

wym you stayed. Where did you stay? Where were you going to go otherwise?

>The exploit work itself was the best television I’ve seen in years.

Probably the easiest to tell it's AI. Watching words on a screen is not television. It would be comparable to a BOOK

> Claude Code and I spent months on the cat-and-mouse.

To me this a tell of AI - it should read "cat-and-mouse game."

I think AI sees the cat and mouse as individual objects joined together with a hyphen rather than knowing it's a type of game.

can you point us towards the specific tells you're seeing in the article. I find the writing maybe LLM-cheerfull yes, but don't see classic phrase patterns.

I would not call it bubbly; more like 1960s-noir-pulp-fiction-rugged-detective style. Anyway, could be fixed, to some extent with proper prompting.
