There isn’t a foolproof way to avoid sounding like AI, but there are steps you can take to improve AI-generated writing (or your own): 1- Write like you talk 2- Make a tone of voice doc 3- Customize AI’s system prompting 4- Run your work through an AI detector and then edit from there Honorable mention: hire a human writer 😈

@unusual_whales Corruption in this admin knows no bounds

BREAKING: The US has dropped tax claims against Trump, with part of the settlement agreement saying the US is "forever barred and precluded" from examining or prosecuting Trump, his sons and the Trump organization's current tax issues, per AP

it's not for me, the algo wants it ^my motto every time I take a picture^

@ryanvanasse Yes, very much so!

@CryptoFilma Do you think this is Mom safe? We thought it'd be a good fit for our mom but idk

Knives Out meets Babe. I went in blind and cried 3x.

@omgsidewalks Moi! Can’t beat free audiobooks

How many people actually have library cards as adults? 🥸

@RAnSacks If you’re just now thinking about it, you're already cooked

Marketers if you’re not thinking about a clipping strategy what the fuck are you doing??

Still thinking about the aerospace engineer who told me the future of AI data centers will be in space bc of social sentiment. No one “owns” space.

@changesq @CalPoly Ahead of the curve 👏

@CryptoFilma Already fully moved to group projects and clinical simulations in the business ethics undergrad class I created at @CalPoly

I fully believe we’ll soon have schools that return to handwritten essays, oral assessments, and more group projects. And the littles will get more playtime, which does wonders for the mind.

@ryanvanasse The contrast is stark! I wrote a pilot about crypto, and now I'm having to rewrite it to really reflect social sentiment honestly

@CryptoFilma @Consensys I've been following crypto (at a distance) since 2011 or so, and the change between the enthusiast then and the crypto bro now is pretty stark. It was really a currency designed to be spent then, and now it seems much more of a speculative asset.

I started my first FT crypto role in 2018. Everyone at @Consensys wanted to replace banks, and now the industry sells the most to them. Not stating it's right or wrong, just an observation...

An AI founder told me to my face last month that I was probably a better prompter than most—but that my job would be obsolete if I didn’t keep honing that skill. If they’re saying this to my face, they certainly aren’t fighting for marketing FTEs. So I told him, “Yes, I do have prompting skills, and I believe taste and all art has to stay with humans. ” Then I politely left the convo.

@abigailcarlson_ This after a 7-year career break too...there's a memoir here

Hot

I'm begging you to touch grass this weekend instead of chat

@nyaraVT sadly a lot of people access fear more easily than compassion

Maybe it’s because I’m neurodivergent, but it blows my mind how so few people actually want to be a good person. Good people are celebrated in movies, games and books, yet rarely does anyone in the real world actually care enough to be a good human being.

@JaceSerrano To be a screenwriter is to enjoy pain 🫠

I love screenwriting so much. There’s nothing like spending one week writing an outline, two weeks doing research, two months writing a screenplay, and two minutes reading a Deadline article about an upcoming movie that has the exact same idea

@RadioFreeTom I so badly wanted this to be ai

I wonder if there's anything in the Bible about golden idols and stuff

@abbythelibb_ I thought my memory was bad until I started reciting Dr.Seuss books in the car

I don't mean to brag, but I have read 22 books cover to cover already today, and it's not even 9 AM.

Ted Turner, founder of CNN, died today at 87. nytimes.com/2026/05/06/bus… Most obituaries will focus on his enormous impact on the media world, but I'd also note that he revolutionized philanthropy. Before him, rich people gave to museums, universities, churches. They spent more money buying paintings of women than actually helping women or girls. And then in 1997, Ted changed that almost by accident in a speech. "I was on my way to New York to make the speech,” Ted recalled to me later. “I just thought, what am I going to say?” So, to make the speech interesting, he announced he was going to give $1 billion to the UN to fight global poverty. (Here's the piece where he described how he made that gift: nytimes.com/2012/12/27/opi… ) That started a competition among tycoons to be more philanthropic and led many more to try to help the needy. He made giving cool, and he saved countless lives. RIP, Ted Turner, and thanks for all you did.
