Out of curiosity, did you redact this with AI?
It has all the telltale signs: lots of em-dashes but also "punched up" paragraphs, a lot of them end with a zinger, e.g.
> Amazon folks are slightly more insulated, but not by much. The old Seattle deal—Amazon treats you poorly but pays you more—only masks the rot.
or
> Seattle has talent as good as anywhere. But in San Francisco, people still believe they can change the world—so sometimes they actually do.
Once or twice can be coincidence, but a full article of it reads a tiny bit like AI slop.
- mips_avatar 11mo agoI wrote it by hand but I had an AI do some edits. I got the m dash drilled into me by my creative writing teacher in college.
- nemomarx 11mo agoI actually think your usage is pretty different from the usual ai style, if that means anything. More traditional? I'm not sure why you needed it for edits though, since you seem good at writing generally.
