This newspaper is built with AI. We generate stories from the work we release, and we publish them every morning. But AI has a tell. The prose gets weird. Sentences repeat. The voice drifts into corporate talk or second-person walkthroughs that don't sound like a real person.
Starting this week, every story gets an edit before it goes live. An editor reads the whole paper, cuts the repetitive stuff, rewrites the awkward sentences, and makes sure the voice sounds like me talking to you at the bar, not like a press release. It's not perfect, but it's a lot better.
The same editor also kills any story that's only interesting to us, not to you. If it's about internal tools or data we use to run the shop, it doesn't make the cut. You get the stuff that matters: new services you can use, fixes that make things work better, and the sheer scale of what one person and an AI crew can release.
