Thanks Bone Bone!

Started freelance writing casino pages for Better Collective sites (Action Network, Vegas Insider etc) in March. They were by far my lowest maintenance client. They loved my work and I had a positive experience working with them.

A full-time casino editor role opened up in August and they offered it to me before listing it publicly. Timing was right, freelance is drying up due to AI, and the grind can be tough.

The job is a job, but the people are great. Everyone works together and communicates well. Bosses are helpful and chill. Time and off hours are respected, very few meetings.

Nice to have a work-life balance for a change. Freelancing I was always working odd hours, feeling stressed about getting work done when I should be relaxing. Nice to have clearly defined hours (and benefits)!

Nice, AI articles suck.

Indeed they do. But sadly they are very cheap and efficient, so they are becoming the norm across all fields.

Most eBay sellers are using AI for their descriptions now also.

TBH I don't really mind it for stuff like that, it does a decent enough job on descriptions. It's more annoying in editorialized content, I think.

AI for customer service chat is awful,can answer the simple questions but more complex queries you have to deal with a person,don’t even know why I try.Congratulations on the new gig VD!

This current generation is a punch of Pussys. WhTever happened to going outside…slap the shit out of each other….then going back inside and having a shot together.

I had a job interview today, went extremely well. 2nd interview next week with the CEO. Excited for it. I'd be in the bicycle/e-bike industry.
