I was a writer once
I generally agree but make an exception for Barry Odom because he was my high school PE teacher and was nice to me when some other kid hit a shuttlecock through my glasses one day.

Maybe also Jason Whitten. His production dipped late in his career, but not like he fell off a cliff. Just normal aging. (Gonzalez, though, just didn’t age.)

He and Gonzalez missed like three games total in a combined 34 seasons, which is wild.

I can’t think of a single memorable tweet that was longer even after the limit was lifted.

How I imagine the exchange would go:

Editor, giving up on revising that sentence: “I have no idea what you’re trying to accomplish here. Consider a rewrite to clarify.”

TCW: Hmm, my editor is not as smart as I. I will make no changes.

The difference to me is less about what we millennials experienced in a unique way and more about what Gen X experienced and we did not.

It’s also wrong for the simple fact that Harris did give people something to vote for. Quite a lot, actually.

Better: Instead of an opt out of the Discover feed, make it opt in.

They would also, I’m pretty damn sure, reject using AI to remove that feeling.

Lots of great writers experience negative emotions when they write. Those who seek to eliminate emotion from the process, though, are probably never going to be great. Or even good.

The absolute worst kind of poster on those forums. Live commenting their misery into everyone else’s world while they’re just trying to enjoy a game.

The link on that first one doesn’t even go to a story about protests. It also goes to a link about the parade.

Searching whether dogs can see a specific thing in beetle wings is just a bad search. “How dogs see color” plus critical thinking, though, will get you an answer eventually.

So back to the original claim of consumer value, the pitch here is basically “avoid thinking.”

Indeed. When trying to answer specific questions, I’d search for what I thought would lead me to the info needed to get to an answer on my own, not the question itself.

It’s an easily searchable answer to a question I believe you posed to demonstrate the consumer value of this type of AI.

I agree AI will more likely have answers to hyperspecific questions. Whether that’s providing meaningful value to anyone is, I think, debatable.

I’ve sadly read almost all of this, beginning with “insanely more useful than other tools.”

That answer is a short version of my top search result on the same topic. Is either correct? I dunno. I’m not an expert. Is a simplified answer better? Maybe. But insanely more useful? Not from this example.

I just checked a couple possible domains for a defunct paper with genuine history. Available for $0.01. I don’t know if the name is actually available or still a trademark held by someone else, but it seems quite doable.
