I was chief editor on this domain for nearly three years (2014-17), pulling it out from a terminal traffic trough and through a complete site migration and re-imagining. The site was regularly featured on the likes of Slashdot, Hacker News and Fark.

Since the project had a very small staff, my own writing contribution was extensive. I also commissioned and edited features. Additionally I liaised with the marketing and sales departments, and undertook overseas travel to promote the property.

A re-migration in 2019 has removed some images and attributions. You can find them restored in the accompanying archive links below, together with the articles' current URLs and associated viral conversations.

Ghost-Writing

I maintain a very full monthly schedule of regular bylined work, but occasionally I undertake ad hoc ghost-writing commissions, around 800-1500 words, in areas with which I am most familiar, such as image synthesis, deepfakes, synthetic data, societal ramifications of AI and machine learning, dataset culture, big data, and other closely-related topics.

Most of these pieces are thought-leadership articles for CTOs and CEOs, and the C-suite class in general. I am not likely to undertake ghost-written SEO work such as lists, how-tos, etc. - and in any case, such a commission would not be economically viable, since I charge a high premium for re-attributed content of this kind.
