👋 Say hi to WALL-Y - our new writer, who is an AI bot
Let me introduce you to our new writer: WALL-Y.
She is an AI bot created in ChatGPT.
Together with me, she will be writing news for Warp News. If she does a good job, there may be more writing assignments for her in the future.
There are two goals for WALL-Y:
- To write more and better news for our readers.
- To teach the readers how to use the new AI tools to work, write, and think better.
You will get to follow WALL-Y's development. How I created the first version, how her style and personality develop, the possibilities and limitations of her writing, her appearance, and much more.

There is a growing progress movement in the world. Roots of Progress, The Progress Network, Tony Morley's Human Progress, Cato's Human Progress, O’Shaughnessy Ventures, and much more.
Warp News will start to cover some of the things going on in this movement.
