The feature, which launched in August, claims to help you “sharpen your message through the lens of industry-relevant perspectives.” When users select the “expert review” button in the Grammarly sidebar, it analyzes their writing and surfaces AI-generated suggestions “inspired by” related experts. Those “industry-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 The descriptions for some experts contain inaccuracies, such as outdated job titles, which could have been accurately updated had Superhuman asked those people for permission to reference their work.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...
move slow and repair things
We apologise to people with screen readers: this is a flowchart aimed at answering the question "Which Greek Philosopher Are You?" First question is: "Do you prefer the indoors or outdoors?" If you choose "indoors", the next question is "Do you feel disdain for the common man?" If Yes, you're Plato. If No, you're Aristotle. If you reply "Outdoors", the follow-up is "Do you enjoy masturbating in public?" If yes, you're Diogenes. If no, the next question is, "Do you like crowds?" If yes, you're Socrates. If no, you are asked "Porch or garden?" If your reply is "Porch", you're Zeno; if it's "Garden", you're Epicurus.
Couldn't trace this back to a definitive creator, but: Epicurus all the way, bro
Also it feels important to say there is literally no possible way to know what an editor is like *as an editor* by reading published written work by that person, which often goes through… other editors!
Couple things here:
1. What the fuck
2. I am allllllmost more offended by the suggestion that I would give this shitbox edit than having my identity stolen
3. The CEO is scheduled to be on Decoder soon and we will see if they back out!

Most people also won’t finish your 500-word article. So write at whatever length is appropriate for the subject.
These are the 4 things AI can do well:
•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday
You can see why we need to base our economy around it
Saw someone describing “The White Lotus genre” as “things that attack the 1%, marketed to the 5%” and boy does that sum up way too much progressive economic policy and messaging output the past several years tbqh
Human makes mistake: This is a training issue we will address to make sure it won't happen again. Also, humans are dumb.
AI makes mistake: Haha it's just hallucinating obviously your expectations are too high Luddite thats the problem. Also, AI is brilliant.
And coherence.
Please buy Bostonfluencer Tom Levenson's book. So that we can prevent further elder abuse by ensuring Tom doesn't have to make any more vertical videos. It's hard on his 400 year old knees.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
Combining the British people’s love and respect for Kemi Badenoch with their enthusiasm about Donald Trump and his Iran war: no party is doing it like them right now

Here's the point to remember about the brutal negative revisions in today's job market report: They aren't saying the labor market showed green shoots that withered. It's saying that there never were any green shoots. They were an illusion.
I guess it's a blanket dismissal
Favorite hybridizers: Ferdinand Cayeux. 'Député Nomblot' from 1929 was extremely popular in its day. Widely grown and well regarded, it was heavily used in hybridizing. Old shots, so poor quality. I haven't grown this one for a long time, but it did great while i had it.

In the 1997 dystopian scifi film Gattaca, rapid DNA testing is used to determine social class and job eligibility. In 2026 UK, women wanting to participate in athletics must pay a £185 gender tax to take part in a genetic lottery where some will be ineligble due to previously unknown chromosones.
Kids be capybaramaxxing (and I think that's wonderful)
I too remember the earlier, woke wars. tons of spent microaggression munitions strewn about everywhere, friends crying out for God as they were slowly cancelled...look, if you weren't there, you'll never understand
A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable
Made it to Friday but at what cost

Working on a q&a lecture for a class today: The story of robots is always a story about slavery. The story of LLMs labeled as AI is a story about class, and which humans pay the cost, including the physical toll on their bodies/minds, and the lack of water and electricity, so data centers can exist.
