Not letting your llm write is good advice and letting him spot problems also is if you want good writing.
For anything beyond "good", we're still on our own and I love that for us.
As an institution, if:
- you don’t allow people to say something
- people are not happy with they way you govern/use your authority
Then these people will give 100x more credit to the ideas you try to censor, just because they are associated with “being against you”.
Twitter and what has now been rebranded Woke 1.0 is another example that backfired massively.

I also completely agree with this part.
However, writing is its own muscle that needs to be trained and sometimes reading more can also be procrastinating in disguise.
What helped me a lot has been:
Read a lot because you love it
Force yourself to write everyday, even if it’s for 5 minutes or you might postpone it forever
We've seen a switch from subscriptions to results-based pricing as AI usage would be eating all of the margin (intercom has been one of the first widely successful examples).
This is another possibility, but the amount of complexity induced for customers + staffing costs (comps for ServiceNow specialists are already extremely high) will probably push people to just buy AI access on top of the subscription instead.
I don't think AI-screening is as big a problem as people make it to be, but if I'm wrong then I guess this kind of tool makes sense.
Job-seekers are notoriously difficult to monetize for two reasons:
- Often lack of money to spend as it's a period where people are careful
- Churn, once they've found a job they'll not use your services anymore, so acquisition must be top-notch
Good luck it's not an easy path that you've chosen, which makes it interesting!
X is such an interesting piece of history as it was both the most interesting place in the world for years, and leaning so democrat that saying anything remotely conservative meant social suicide.
Now since Elon took over, the feed has gone very conservative also because any kind of right-wing content can't really be expressed on other social medias, and obviously it was Elon's plan.
Last point is that the old twitter was so much better at finding interesting communities for you based on your interests / jobs etc. when the new one pushes way too much political content.
Hey, curious how you tracked the %gain?
They seem super high, which is entirely possible for people who didn't take they nutrition as seriously before if you managed to get them fully on board with the app.
And something I'm totally unfamiliar with, how does someone "gut train"?
It's an interesting angle for a training app as this is definitely a recurring issue in the endurance world, good luck to you!
As with a lot of these views, I always struggle with how it would apply to the real world.
Organisations become important because of their singularity, what they do that others don't.
It can be positive or negative, but it is the case (for the government, companies, charities, families etc.).
If AI is now "in charge", then this becomes replicable and the edge moves somewhere else.
Best example of this is indie hackers where coding has become a less and less important part of the job, and the difficulty just moved to distribution.
Did you start with this or was it AI just starting random and then the website will create itself over time based on A/B tests and feedback?
We can already tell when people write with AI, let's not worry!
But I guess people are worried the watermark stays even if they completely change what AI wrote
