since this plainly sucks let me ask you: what's the best advice you got from an editor?

a lot of past and present verge staffers have been edited by me and I have a hard time imagining an AI could replicate the experience based on my public writing. what would the grammarly version of me do, suggest that you put more curse words in the piece?

not sure whether I am relieved or insulted that I haven't been impersonated by an AI startup.

The feature, which launched in August, claims to help you β€œsharpen your message through the lens of industry-relevant perspectives.” When users select the β€œexpert review” button in the Grammarly sidebar, it analyzes their writing and surfaces AI-generated suggestions β€œinspired by” related experts. Those β€œindustry-relevant perspectives” include the likes of Stephen King, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Carl Sagan, among many others.

The Verge found numerous other tech journalists named in the feature, as well, including former Verge editors Casey Newton and Joanna Stern, former Verge writer Monica Chin, Wired’s Lauren Goode, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and Jason Schreier, the New York Times’ Kashmir Hill, The Atlantic’s Kaitlyn Tiffany, PC Gamer’s Wes Fenlon, Gizmodo’s Raymond Wong, Digital Foundry founder Richard Leadbetter, Tom’s Guide editor-in-chief Mark Spoonauer, former Rock Paper Shotgun editor-in-chief Katharine Castle, and former IGN news director Kat Bailey. The descriptions for some experts contain inaccuracies, such as outdated job titles, which could have been accurately updated had Superhuman asked those people for permission to reference their work.

The endpoint of journalism is that an AI startup turns you into a fake "editor" without telling you and against your will www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

JP Morgan on Trump’s Iran war: β€œOil prices have risen nearly 35% from the past year's average.. Each sustained 10% price increase could yield a 10bp increase in headline inflation but little effect on core … along with a 15-20bp hit to GDP, though these estimates have wide uncertainty bands.”

I love Oakland. everyone is nuts. slowest jaywalkers in the world. today I witnessed a lady on a bike make a right into traffic, cutting off a car, so she could immediately make a left and everyone obligingly stopped to let her

I am at a beer garden and several middle-aged bros next to me are quite drunk. they had been hollering about their investments but have now just lowered their voices to discuss something confidentially. it is: how amazing their wives are.

sorry I'm old enough to remember when smokers got to take "smoke breaks" and it was an excuse to fuck off about once every hour or two and gossip. nicotine for productivity? cooked
