Writing

The one skill everyone who uses AI needs to master in 2026 Meta-prompting: using an LLM to generate, refine, and improve the very prompts you use to get work done. https://garryslist.org/posts/metaprompti…

This is the new emdash. A dead giveaway of ChatGPT writing. That’s not efficient writing. That’s laziness.

Ladies and gentlemen: We’re giving $1 million to the top article posted on X. You have 2 weeks. It's time to write.

This might be the most valuable thing I've ever released. And it's 100% free. → Marketing Skills for Claude Code A collection of skills that turn Claude into a marketing and copywriting genius. Check it out ↓

We need a shorthand way of saying: "An AI did the work, but I vouch for the result" Saying "I did it" feels slightly sketchy, but saying "Claude did it" feels like avoiding responsibility

every single article i've written with 1M+ views wasn't actually written by me... i just used my phone to dictate it because the truth is... your brain doesn't think in text it never did, it thinks in connections, in patterns, in half-formed ideas that make perfect sense until you try to type them out and the moment your fingers hit a keyboard, you stop thinking and start performing because every sentence gets filtered through "does this sound good?" so i started using Wispr Flow to dictate all my first drafts... here's what my process looks like now: > i go for a walk, open the app on my phone > talk through the entire article like i'm explaining it to someone who asked a great question > Wispr Flow captures it all in real time, cleans out the filler words, formats it into actual paragraphs > 15 minutes later i have a draft on my phone that reads like something i'd publish, not a messy transcript i need to spend an hour cleaning up then i work on the the structure, ask claude for refinements, rewrite some parts and publish... that's a full article, under an hour when you speak, you don't overthink that directness hits different because readers can feel it... there's a natural rhythm in spoken thought that you cannot recreate by typing carefully, no matter how good you are been running this system on desktop and iphone for months, Wispr Flow just launched on android too, so it works on every device now if you create content and you still spend more time staring at a blank page than actually producing... speak your next article, your best writing was never in your fingers, it was always in your voice

you can just 10x your AI copywriting by building a skill trained on assets from this website...

New You're absolutely right just dropped. What does this even mean.

After rewatching Home Alone, I couldn’t stop wondering: how plausible is the oversleep that leaves Kevin behind? So I wrote a tiny paper and ran the numbers. Merry Christmas!

Ladies and gentlemen: Over the next week, we’ll be launching a handful of updates for our creators & power users. To kick things off, we’re opening up X Articles to all Premium subscribers. We’ve seen some incredible articles go viral over the last few weeks — and we’d love to see more writers posting on X. More to come.

I’m starting to get into a habit of reading everything (blogs, articles, book chapters,…) with LLMs. Usually pass 1 is manual, then pass 2 “explain/summarize”, pass 3 Q&A. I usually end up with a better/deeper understanding than if I moved on. Growing to among top use cases. On the flip side, if you’re a writer trying to explain/communicate something, we may increasingly see less of a mindset of “I’m writing this for another human” and more “I’m writing this for an LLM”. Because once an LLM “gets it”, it can then target, personalize and serve the idea to its user.

An encouraging thought about AI: If the most influential readers of my essays in the future are AIs, and AIs are smart and rational, I don't have to worry about the way stupid or biased readers will react to what I write. I can safely aim high.

The moment I learned one of my newsletter posts became an eval for Claude Cowork

New workflow: 1. Open a voice memo app 2. Brain dump your thoughts on a topic; record it 3. Transcribe it 4. Import transcript into NotebookLM 5. Get it to generate a slide deck using Nano Banana Pro 6. See your rambling thoughts visualized into structured & beautiful slides and feel smart

It’s that day when I make you all look at this

tech bro obsessed with "storytelling" but hasn't read a book in the last 5 years

Monologue for iOS is here. You talk 3x faster than you type. Prompts to Claude. Brain dumps to Notion. Grocery lists. Midnight epiphanies. First drafts that sound like you. Now in your pocket. Follow, like, RT—50 annual subscriptions are up for grabs.

Presumably ChatGPT is trained on corpora of things written by humans, and yet it doesn't sound like any human I know. Is there a population somewhere of people who write in chirpy bulleted lists that I've somehow managed to avoid?

Woke up from a deep slumber and wrote this note

prompt engineering is dead they said... now the same crowd is writing articles about life-changing skills let me save you some confusion: >open any skill file >look at what's inside >it's a prompt the quality of the skill lives and dies by how well that prompt is written no amount of context files or fancy structure fixes a bad core instruction skills didn't replace prompt engineering skills ARE prompt engineering... just with MUCH better packaging the people who learned how to talk to AI aren't surprised by any of this they've been building skills before skills had a name
