Later in the thread she says it isn’t cheating.

Yes, it is. It is cheating. If you follow her (grift) advice, you will not earn a PhD.

Update on Angwin v. Superhuman Litigation
Since Julia Angwin filed a class action lawsuit over Grammarly’s Expert Review tool on March 11, 2026, Angwin v. Superhuman Platform, Inc., No. 26 Civ. 02005-JGK (S.D.N.Y.), Julia and her counsel at Peter Romer-Friedman Law PLLC have heard from many people who are rightly concerned that their names and identities were used by Grammarly or may have been used for commercial purposes without their consent. We appreciate all the interest and enthusiasm that this case has generated. We want to underscore that the case was filed as a class action lawsuit so that Julia and her lawyers can seek relief for all of the people in the United States whose names or identities used by Grammarly’s Expert Review tool (the Class Members), and in this litigation we plan to ask the Court to certify a nationwide class that includes all of those Class Members. Typically, when a court certifies a class action under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the class members do not need to do anything to remain in the class, but they are allowed to “opt out” of the class if they don’t want to be a part of it.In the discovery process in this litigation, we will ask Grammarly’s owner, Superhuman, to identify all the people who were included in its Expert Review Tool so that, at the appropriate time, those people can be notified that they are members of the Class.
Anyone who thinks they may be a class member of the proposed Class can contact Peter Romer-Friedman Law at info@prf-law.com to make sure we have your contact information, and we are happy to answer any questions that you may have about the case. At this time, however, you do not need to take any action to join the Angwin case to be included as a member of the proposed Class. (At the same time, we recommend against entering into any agreement with Grammarly, as Grammarly might claim that by doing so you’ve waived your rights in this case).

Small update from my attorneys -- you don't need to do anything to be added to the class action. Anyone who was included as an expert in Grammarly Pro will automatically be a member of the class once it is certified by the court.

Updates on the case will be posted here prf-law.com/current-case...

I don’t think they’re quite at the level I’m talking about but could be! (Certainly still very impressive)

So… who’s winning this year, so far? Not literally, but you know what I mean. Mamdani, Jessie Buckley, Alysa Liu, the USA women’s hockey team, etc.

But what about Coogler?! Might they split picture and director to give PTA his award?!

RFK Jr’s pick to review Covid vaccines authored misleading research, experts say HHS calls MIT professor ‘more than qualified’ for advisory panel and calls ‘attacks’ on him ‘politically motivated’

“Dr Levi has made a number of easily disproved statements about his baseless belief that mRNA Covid-19 vaccines are harmful, despite having little or no education, training or experience in public health”.

My quote. Hence I could not be happier that ACIP will not be discussing COVID19 vaccines.

I'm in a very competitive Oscar pool -- came in 2nd last year (out of, like, 25 people). I feel like Sinners is gaining steam and might be my chance to win this year. Do I go with picture *and* director? I've already moved MBJ over Timmy Chal. Thoughts welcome!

A lot of journalism folks are offering editing advice as Grammarly’s AI “experts” Grammarly's AI-powered "Expert Review" promises "writing feedback by subject-matter experts," and if you write about journalism, there's a good chance that includes you.

This is infuriating (the headline doesn't say it, but none of these folks gave permission for their advice to be offered for free)

I don’t, but I could probably accumulate them. The problem is that if I did this in our apartment, my wife would quite literally divorce me. And then where would I use my cast-iron pan?
