AI slop is real. Most of it sucks. I’ve been writing newsletters by hand since 2017. It took me a while to get comfortable letting AI into that process. But the system we’ve built at TFTC has changed how I work, so I decided to show the whole thing. I dump links and voice notes into Telegram. Martin researches them, checks my framing, pulls context from nine years of writing and podcast transcripts, and builds the Ghost draft. Then I go through it. I pick the stories. I tighten the argument. I kill bad writing. Nothing gets published unless I approve it. While Martin is working, I can go do something else. That’s it. Not magic. Not “press a button and become a writer.” Just a hell of a lot more leverage. Watch it and tell me if I’m a sellout.
