"every hour spent aligning with a co-author is an hour not spent producing output that is legible to an evaluation system." use of the word 'legible'.

"We defund the corridor and then wonder where the corridor conversations went." this is a claude-ist construction.

"This is an old worry wearing new clothes" this is a very claude-ist construction.

(rather ironically... as @embedding-shaep pointed out earlier): "Outsource the writing and you have not accelerated the thinking; you have skipped it." 'not X but punchy-Y' (not to be confused with 'not X but profound-Y'.

I'm not saying the author shouldn't have used an LLM - once in a while I suppose it gets used to good effect. But I wouldn't kid myself that the writing is certainly all human through-and-through.

[Incidentally, in case anyone's wondering where many of these claude-isms come from, just search within lesswrong.com .]
