I’m hiring a Right Hand to work alongside me at Sudowrite. Our company is full of uniquely wonderful and kind people that you can’t help but love. It's also profitable. (We're weird!) And we do it making creative tools for artists, not B2B SaaS. This is an incredible role for someone who’s done ops, exec support, been a chief of staff, or worn a lot of hats at a startup. 🌈🌴 On-location in Honolulu preferred but not required. sudowrite.com/jobs/right-hand

Someone please use AI to create Steve Jobs keynotes introducing modern-day Apple products.

We're hiring someone to help us make our mobile app the best way to write a novel. sudowrite.com/jobs/mobile

@MeganNyvold these look so good! @sravanti just ordered some!

*unpaid*** I HAVE FOUND A GOOD PROTEIN BAR. ITS THIS SAMSARA ONE I like how it’s savory, Not insanely sweet like I’m eating a candy bar. plus no EPG (the stuff in David that makes your stomach upset) samsaranutrition.com

@zmwang omg I love it

My wife and I are organizing a pop-up SF Chindian Meetup this Sunday (11 AM - 1:30 PM). Vibes: Potluck + dim sum energy. Bring your friends, parents, grandparents, kids. I'll be bringing batch 3 of my mapo paneer experiments! RSVP in the link below 👇

love this! there's a million markdown editors/viewers coming out, but all of them miss this critical interaction of review/feedback. we recently added this to sudowrite and it unlocks so much. this feels like a core addition to markdown that needs to be everywhere.

You guys, my wife is such a good writer. This is her short and funny post on her second Mother's Day: nhua.substack.com/p/my-2nd-mothe…

Stoked for what jamie and fabian are cooking with Glif V2!

@jwegener gimme!

My wife and I were in the SAME place at the SAME time, 4 years before we ever met🤯🤯🤯 I built an app that scans your photo library to reveal every time you crossed paths with someone -- before you ever met! Reply "beta" if you'd like to try it!

@pitdesi I was equivocating on this and just pulled the trigger on the Y. Tesla's release schedules are too unpredictable and I figured I'd feel silly if I waited a year and HW5 still hadn't arrived. fwiw I went with finance at 0.99%

Thinking about getting a new model Y Does it make sense to wait for HW5?

@jnnnthnn loved the video!

We've raised $8.4m to make software that sharpens your attention. We're starting with an email app that lets you handle your Gmail inbox in seconds. We call it Avec. It's available now!

This is a weekend retreat where you read a book together with strangers, out loud, to each other. I love everything about it. pagebreak.nyc

@CameronSorsby @AlphaSchoolATX @danshipper this is like that short story you were writing in sudowriters! I still want to read the novel!

We’re launching a new @alphaschoolatx high school for aspiring entrepreneurs. Our promise: Make $1m by graduation, or receive a full tuition refund. Yes, this will be the coolest high school in the world. And we're building the best team in the world to make it happen. We’re looking for 2-3 exceptional coaches to help us guide the students towards achieving this aggressive but achievable goal. You won’t be giving lectures or assigning homework. You’ll be grilling them on their P&L, driving them to the car wash they bought, critiquing their email funnels, pushing them to do things 99% of the world doesn't believe is possible. Job posting is live and DMs are open.

@CameronSorsby @AlphaSchoolATX please bring alpha to honolulu!

this makes me want to move to austin

We're hiring a design leader at @NotionHQ. Maybe it's you. This is about leading through making, enabling builders, and building yourself. You take great pride in seeing excellent output being appreciated in the hands and hearts of customers. You create momentum that leads to quality. You'll be reporting to me, but you're not so concerned with reporting. Managing up isn't the vibe. Supporting the team is. Talk to me and @kurissuuu

Oh man, I have a lot to say on this. tl;dr - this is not a good way to test AI writing. It's common knowledge amongst novelists using LLMs for years that in small snippets, AI can match the quality of human writing. The trick is making this quality coherent throughout a book. Trust me, I've run blind tests since 2022 with 100s of techniques, ranging from short stories to novels to poetry. Machines can write good prose! Even experts can be "tricked." But prose in isolation is not something that people are good at evaluating, nor is it terribly useful, unless the artifact you are producing is short, like book blurbs or marketing copy. What's far more interesting is a whole narratives. This is still a challenge. But we are on the cusp of machines being able to emulate that as well. However, the way we evaluate that won't be in short snippets.

@minakimes @kevinroose We're doing testing on this at @sudowrite.

@kevinroose Has anyone done a test like this with full stories or even novels? Feels similar to how if you put up a single frame of a slop trailer people would say it's comparable to the real thing--but when you expand it over several minutes, the lack of craft in storytelling becomes stark.

We made a blind taste test to see whether NYT readers prefer human writing or AI writing. 86,000 people have taken it so far, and the results are fascinating. Overall, 54% of quiz-takers prefer AI. A real moment! nytimes.com/interactive/20…
