This would make you a medium-sized Substack

If you are a creator on @Patreon considering a new home for the long term, we would love to have you on @Substack
Here are some resources that might help 🧵
1/ I'm joining @OpenAI to lead Creator Product after over 13 years since starting @Patreon. Coming with me are my favorite crew Drew Rowny and Shannon Ma, Patreon's (now former) Head of Product and Head of Engineering. We're going to build together with Creators at OpenAI and share early access to a new set of tools that I think will be critically valuable to Creators and their communities.

Earlier this week, we introduced a feature that lets you scan posts, replies, and comments on the Substack app to see an estimate of how much was written by a human, or with AI assistance. Writers had thoughts. Read the roundup of reactions: on.substack.com/p/how-writer…

When Jeff Stein reported on Pentagon health official Keith Bass, Bass sued him. Through the Substack Defender program, we helped secure local counsel and fight the case.
Today, Jeff won! The case was dismissed with prejudice in federal court.

sometimes the reason why a company does something is confusing, dubious, or suspicious. people will invent motives or theories.
I love substack because our business model is simple: we only make money when our writers do
you can tell a lot about a company’s values and strategy based on how they make money. everything we work on here is to try and help writers grow sustainably and to improve the reader experience so they want to support the writers they care about. that’s it.

An internet for humans
Today, Substack is launching an AI detection feature, via an integration with @pangram. Going forward, you’ll be able to scan posts, replies, and comments on the Substack app to see an estimate of how much of it was written by a human, or with AI assistance.

Damn, what a great initiative by Substack
When I know that something is AI-written, I just don't take time to read it, because whoever produced did not take time to write it.
Today, it's still pretty easy to notice AI-written text (and it frustrates me to no end)

this feature (and the post explaining it) really highlight why I love working at substack:
> this is a tough problem with a lot of nuance and sensitivity that we knew we had to take the lead on
> the creator economy, trust on the internet, artificial intelligence tools, the nature of writing… these are issues where people don’t necessarily agree on every aspect
> practically everyone at substack weighed in, as well as many outside voices, and contributed diverse perspectives that ultimately shaped this rollout
> we don’t have all the answers but we are doing our best to make the internet a great place for writers, readers, and culture based on what we hear and believe
Human perspective is the essential ingredient of culture, and this will be true no matter how powerful AI becomes. To learn more about AI detection on Substack and why we built it, read this blog post by CEO and cofounder Chris Best: post.substack.com/p/against-…

Super interesting: just-released report from @pangram (the most credible AI analytics provider) finds Substack has the lowest AI-generated content rate of any platform — and LinkedIn is an absolute swamp of slop pangram.com/blog/ai-in-your-…

THE SUBSTACK TURNS 1!
One year ago, I left The Atlantic to start a newsletter. Today:

- how the business is growing
- what I've learned
- the difference between viral essays in The Atlantic vs the Substack ecosystem

She argued that it is deeply insulting to Maori to claim, as the report she critiques does, that science is not for them. It was a struggle to get it published but she managed it.
Then the journal retracted it. How utterly contemptible.

Now on Substack, you can write out the rules you wish everyone who replies to you would obey —"No cursing," perhaps, or "No denying that New Orleans is a better city for serious technologists than San Francisco"— and an AI-powered moderation assistant will enforce them for you.
