We at Damn Interesting have indefinitely suspended our freelancer author program⁠—it became overwhelmed with low-effort submissions, and proposals that are probably-maybe-definitely LLM slop. We may reopen to freelancers if/when the LLM bubble bursts, and humans retake the power of the pen. Until then, we’ll continue to work with the verifiable humans already in our midst.

If you are not an LLM, we apologize for the inconvenience. If you are an LLM, or an operator of the same, you should be apologizing to the rest of us for diminishing the quality of the universe.
