This has the air of getting congratulated for getting shanked in an alley while running to the hospital in hopes of getting treated for appendicitis. A knife, after all, is an appropriate surgery tool.
A "vinyl" record is probably your cleanest option. Record players are pretty common so there's much less risk of losing the ability to turn it back into a digital file. (physical object to .wav file is commodity, .wav to you your original binary data is left as an exercise for the reader.)
This take seems to require that models stop getting better at some capability level a little above where they are now. Is this a future event that you are very confident of?
Plenty of blog aggravators with transparent curation processes exist, and are terrible. No need to make this one like the other others that are worse than it.
The ars technica twist is a brutal wakeup call that I can't actually tell what is ai slob garbage shit by reading it- and even if I can't tell, that doesn't mean it's fine because the crap these companies are shoveling is still wrong, just stylistically below my detectability.
Skimming through the archive of the Ars piece, it's indeed much better written than the "ai slob garbage shit" standard I'm used to. I think I could adapt to detect this sort of thing to a limited extent, but it's pretty scarily authentic-looking and would not ordinarily trip my "ai;dr" instinct.
There is a ton of money to be made right now being an AI slop regurgitation - if you can take AI slop and rewrite it in your own words quickly, you can make a nice buck because it doesn't immediately trip the rAIdar everyone's built up.
