This AI builder is actually doubling down on blocks - everything is block based and the canvas it works on is the full site editing. Without block editor, this wouldn’t be possible

When you are the one running the generator, it is.

I couldn't resist the metaphor of the "Organic" origin, as produced by wet brain instead of silicon.

> There is so much stuffing for a simple idea that I'm not sure if this piece deserves its own title, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

Frankly I had the same thought writing it :D

It's more of a stake in the ground sort of a thing I guess? What I really want is somebody saying "hey, there is an open standard already here" so I can use it.

> good that automattic is setting this policy for themselves

To clarify, this not a policy but a design choice and an intent of one PM :D I cannot speak for the actual company policy because we are at an exploration phase.

> also @simonw’s “AI veganism”: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32639643 its a good term because it will be about as popular and have as loud and passionate and few adherents as actual veganism

Diets are such a rich metaphor for the approach to content! Fast food on the consumption side, veganism, kosher, paleo etc. on the production side

I work at Automattic as well and love P2s to the point that I changed my internal work title to "Accomplished P2 author".

I love how:

- They are async by default

- Incentivize deep analysis and thoughtful writing

- There is a canonical link for every piece of information, project, etc

- Discussions only need to happen once. Whenever somebody starts discussing a matter we analysed 3 years ago, somebody drops a link on slack to provide context.

To be fair, we are a company of 2000+ and every time we grow, we are actively discussing ways to evolve how we use P2s.

Keeping a writing culture requires habits as well. We specifically hire for good writting communication skills.

P2 is way more like Hacker News than it is like wiki. The threaded/nested comment system is a huge part of how we use P2s to communicate, jam on ideas, and frankly - also provide critical feedback.

Just like on HN, one comment deep in the thread can be way more valuable than the original post. (I work at Automattic)
