When you are 39 and a toddler mum, men no longer wolf whistle when you’re running around not made up, but little old ladies will randomly tell you you’re beautiful and that’s a trade up no one told me about.

For Terminal readers, Bloomberg puts out hot headlines, which are alerts on big breaking news. They are stressful for reporters and editors, who get no warning and must scramble to write a full story within 5 minutes. But occasionally, you do get one that makes you go: BABE.

Why was the Jason Arday story broken by a racist blogger and not the mainstream press? Because Times Higher Education was intimidated off the story by a letter from notorious libel firm Carter-Ruck. I'm publishing the letter. Its central claim may be false.

I may be the cart-horse in this situation but the thing about AI writing is that…writing is an intellectually intimate act, as is editing. Part of the joy of editing is seeing up close how people you know and respect *think.* There’s no similar attachment to the machine.
