I've added @sapinker's Sense of Style to all my notebooks with writing projects, asking for a Pinker edit with each draft. I don't always agree with every suggestion but it's invariably productive and stimulating advice. Plus if you're in the US, you can get a free copy of the book, which you can both read and use as an on-demand editor in @Gemini_Notebook. There are twenty other great titles in the promotion as well, though it's a limited time offer, and you can only choose one book. (And yes, Google is paying for the books so authors/publishers will be compensated!) Full list and details he… play.google.com
Quoting @sapinker "Expert intelligence" - new feature of Gemini that allows buyers of an ebook to apply the knowledge in the book to their own projects.

The power of Expert Intelligence in @Gemini_Notebook: Add The Sense of Style by @sapinker to a notebook with a draft you're writing. Ask for feedback based on Pinker's ideas. It's the opposite of AI slop: personalized advice based on human expertise, facilitated by AI. And what I love about this is that I'm getting actionable suggestions here AND Notebook is serving as a guide to Pinker's underlying philosophy of writing. So I'm learning deeper principles as I improve my draft. And of course everything in the Notebook response points directly back to specific passages in Pinker (and my own dr… notebook.google.com

One thing that is increasingly driving me crazy: AI made workplace writing cheap, but reading is still expensive! Again and again I see posts that are now twice as long as need be, and more meandering than a walk in the woods. The problem is simply this: the writer thought about what they wanted to say and asked a model to draft it. They did they stop to think: "What do I really want the reader to take away?" Before you ask AI to draft your next email, memo, or Slack update, answer these five questions: 1. Who exactly needs to read this? Is this for your manager? The leadership team? Your who… Related

Nothing matches. Show everything
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
