Reminding us all that even real writers. Prolific writers. Writers that write for a living - constantly question themselves.
We are now at the stage where it is not an issue of whether I can write, but whether what I’m writing about is worth reading.
…
I say this to you as someone who has been a full-time freelance writer since the 1990s, someone who tends to write and have published around two thirds of a million words per year.

🔗 Notes on the xAI/Anthropic data center deal
I get that Anthropic are severely compute-constrained, but in a world where the very existence of “AI data centers” is a red-hot political issue (see recent news out of Utah for a fresh example), signing up with this particular data center is a really bad look

There are so many on the click through - but of course I would highlight one (of two) from New Zealand.

in many organisations, the “people piece” has been relegated to the HR function.
💬 Moss Burmester
‘relegated’ - not ‘delegated’ is an interesting choice of words and highlights a more general problem - more on that in the comments.
HR systems are built around compliance, process, and record-keeping.

Why does engagement matter? Because performance is produced when people are deeply engaged and aligned in the business strategy
💬 Moss Burmester
Sounds to me they should be building ‘Systems of Engagement’
No plans to go - zero interest and the other two choices are ‘Project Hail Mary’ and ‘Devil 2’.
BUT - I was taken by the Silky Otter’s plot summary.
That’s got to be AI - No❓
The other summaries do seem more considered, so perhaps the summary writer is as inspired by ‘Michael’ as I am.
