If this is your Blog, then I have to congratulate you on it being an excellent place, I've bookmarked it...

I'm 95% sure these articles are heavily AI written. Compare this article to one he wrote in 2022. Personal anecdotes, far less emdashes, far less inline code text, quoting the proposals directly, variance in the cadence of each paragraph, etc.

It might not be a bad resource, but you'll probably get the same content asking an LLM to just explain these papers to you.

I do not follow this blog closely so I won't comment on these "tells" but 4 years is a lot. Your style changes with experience, it applies to both human and programming languages. Try reading some book series, like "The Wheel of Time", for example, you will see the changes in writing. It always happens.

I scraped his website and pulled a sample of articles and had AI analyze the writing style it analyzed the articles.

His writing style shifts very suddenly in mid-late 2025.

Doesn't mean the resource can't be useful, or that there is no human input, but it's very likely AI augmented minimally.

Strange world we live in.

Possible I suppose, but it seems unlikely that a writer's personal writing style morphs into less personal, less exploratory, and more AI-like without the strong influence of AI

I do think one's writing style is influenced by what they read, so if you're interacting with LLM-written prose all day there may be an element of literary contagion. Regardless, the AI-written tells are very strong in that post.
