The feature, which launched in August, claims to help you “sharpen your message through the lens of industry-relevant perspectives.” When users select the “expert review” button in the Grammarly sidebar, it analyzes their writing and surfaces AI-generated suggestions “inspired by” related experts. Those “industry-relevant perspectives” include the likes of Stephen King, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Carl Sagan, among many others. The Verge found numerous other tech journalists named in the feature, as well, including former Verge editors Casey Newton and Joanna Stern, former Verge writer Monica Chin, Wired’s Lauren Goode, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and Jason Schreier, the New York Times’ Kashmir Hill, The Atlantic’s Kaitlyn Tiffany, PC Gamer’s Wes Fenlon, Gizmodo’s Raymond Wong, Digital Foundry founder Richard Leadbetter, Tom’s Guide editor-in-chief Mark Spoonauer, former Rock Paper Shotgun editor-in-chief Katharine Castle, and former IGN news director Kat Bailey. The descriptions for some experts contain inaccuracies, such as outdated job titles, which could have been accurately updated had Superhuman asked those people for permission to reference their work.
The endpoint of journalism is that an AI startup turns you into a fake "editor" without telling you and against your will www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

NEW: Pardon seekers are routinely being asked to pay $1m+ to lobbyists & lawyers claiming access to Trump, often with bonuses if clemency is granted.

Trashy fact of the day: Since D.C. kicked off its residential composting program almost three years ago, the city has picked up some five million pounds worth of food waste. There's now some 12,000 participating households, with Ward 4 in the lead followed by wards 3 and 5.
In fact, USDOT policy actions with pre-existing discretionary grants in the last year have clawed back and impounded funding for street safety projects -- and the surface transportation reauthorization needed this summer could cut TONS of policy moves and authorized $ lvls for safe streets in IIJA.
Nine days after the 2024 presidential election, I interviewed Chair Powell at a public event in Dallas. I asked him what happened the last time the Fed was not seen as credibly independent. Here's part of his response
