Why Clay Has an AI Writing Policy - The GTM with Clay Blog

Tue, 27 Oct 2026 06:15:05 +0000

As of 2026, AI models — despite their coding ability — are not yet at a point where their unedited output will achieve this goal; you as an author need to take the time to make sure that all of the ideas in the writing are the ideas that you personally intend to convey (including the structure and wording that determines which ideas are emphasized) and that the documents are a good use of your readers’ time.

On the Death of Amazon’s Writing Culture - by Steve Huynh

Mon, 26 Oct 2026 07:31:43 +0000

AI should definitely be used for brainstorming, organizing your thoughts, research, making sure your documents are consistent, and grammar. But, as we would say at Amazon, the human should always take the pen.

The era of cmd + tab

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 17:29:42 +0000

Thoughtfulness about our craft and our relationship to the tools seems like an antidote to atrophy of mind. In an era where we can make literally whatever we want, what parts of the output or process are non-negotiables?

It's time to talk about my writerdeck

Fri, 11 Sep 2026 00:56:12 +0000

Of course, I'm a Linux user, and I have any number of options. I could have gone with a simple desktop or window manager and just not installed a browser, but I wanted something that really broke the desktop OS muscle memory and forced me into thinking about my words with intention. I opted for a tty-based setup, using Debian (Trixie at the time of writing). Console only- no x11 or Wayland, no desktop getting in my way.

Stop Trying to Distinguish AI-Generated Writing From Human Writing Because You Can’t – James Zhan in real life.

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 19:42:30 +0000

Believing that one can distinguish between human writing and AI writing via some kind of “tells” is naive, simply because both human and AI writing can be good and bad.

RIP Claude – Rands in Repose

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 18:16:58 +0000

As a writer, no sweat, right? I write my own content. I bang on my own keys. Here’s the issue. Each of the following actions watermarks text: Synthesis Proofreading Translation Summarization Critique1 And most infuriating, the entire burden of their unannounced rollout is on me, and none of it is on them.

My writing is not 100% organic anymore | Heitor's log

Sat, 22 Aug 2026 17:52:03 +0000

My writing is now ~95% organic. The remaining ~5% is English mistakes that an LLM fixed or a few small suggestions here and there. But a year from now, will this 5% grow? Will my personal satisfaction of doing it myself vanish in favour of supervised writing? What skill will I develop further: writing or prompting? If writing is thinking and I outsource it, am I still thinking?

I would never accuse anyone of using AI

Sat, 22 Aug 2026 17:49:16 +0000

Ultimately my point is, no matter how much I'm certain something is AI, I would not say it out loud, because I always have a capacity to hurt a real artist in doing so. I just want people to stop going "uuhhh guys I think this is AI look at the tells" because it only hurts real people and is simply just really annoying.

How Claude's text watermarking works \ Anthropic

Sat, 15 Aug 2026 02:19:36 +0000

Future Claude models will generate text that contains a watermark. This is a way of determining the likelihood that Claude was involved in writing the text, and we, along with several other major AI providers, are implementing this change to comply with the EU AI Act.

If you can’t be bothered writing it, I can’t be bothered reading it. — Crooked Timber

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 00:33:05 +0000

I totally get the pressure to produce. Academics have been long turned into content churners. ‘Publish or perish’ in some regions and institutions meant how much could you produce in how little a time. As a postgraduate student I attended a workshop where a senior professor describes turning the same conference paper into five publications FIVE!? Who do they think was going to read all this samey shit?

Clicks have killed the Inverted Pyramid

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 00:29:10 +0000

Writing students once learned that putting the most important information first in an article was the preferred, humane way of reporting on a situation. This allowed readers to quickly decide if a story interested them without having to read further.

How to manage this Hugo based page from my Android phone in 2026 | foosel.net

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 19:22:04 +0000

I recently got a new phone and thus had to re-do the setup of my mobile blogging pipeline. So, basically, allow me to checkout, modify, test, commit and push the sources of this Hugo based static page under Android. While doing so I noticed some necessary changes and improvements, and also wanted to make use of my Taskfile which does most of the heavy lifting now, so here are my updated steps.

Thinking about AI

Sun, 03 May 2026 04:26:53 +0000

So far, the "killer app" aspects of AI is helping me create/iterate/finish things I've wanted for many years, but couldn't find time or energy enough to do completely on my own.
