I asked ChatGPT5 to read my manuscript and tell me what the author comps for the book might be. It's been reading for 48 hours now, and it's only half way through the novel. So much for the warp-speed productivity of AI. Of course it could be my writing!

@RestPoliticsUS @KattyKay_ @Scaramucci I teach journalism students and mentor reporters, many of whom are struggling with the shifts in ethics in or business. I'd love to know where @KattyKay_ sits on the debate about journalists reading ads on their podcasts, and whether that compromises their journalistic integrity.

@ilzetzki My name is Paddy Hirsch. I’m working on a report for NPR here in the US about the likelihood of increases in defense spending by European nations, and what the trade offs might be. I’d welcome the opportunity to talk with you about this.

I'm not a huge Go Fund Me person, and I'm aware that there are plenty of scams out there, but I can personally vouch for this man, and attest to his courage and selflessness on the day the Palisades fire started. He could use a little help. Please share. https://t.co/d20bvrj5bq

Interest rates are often big news events. But how can journalists report on them accurately and contextualize them for their audience?

I’m tempted to use some devastatingly witty banter to comment on this book. Instead I’ll just say it’s hilarious. And bang on target. Congratulations @maxdickins
