2 · What AI is allowed to do
DeepSeek does exactly three things: extracts the body, translates both ways, drafts bullet points. It does not select picks, write editor’s notes, or order the weekly. Its drafts are all editable in our admin panel — on average 60% of cards get at least one human edit before publish.
Translation draft
First-pass EN↔ZH. A human checks term & tone.
Editor’s note
“Why read this” is always human-written. AI never takes a stance for us.
Selection
AI may score candidates as a reference. Pick / reject is always a human click.
Tag suggest
Picks 1–3 from existing taxonomy. Editor may replace all.
3 · Conflicts of interest
If an editor or contributor has an employment / advisory / investment relationship with the author or company of a pick, the card carries an editor’s disclosure line at the bottom. We take zero paid promotion — and we’d announce it on /about if we ever did.
4 · Corrections & takedowns
Spot something wrong? Reach out via the site footer. Technical mis-statements fixed within 24h with a footnote; factual errors trigger a corrigendum.
5 · What I won’t pretend to do
This isn’t full-stack tech media. Coverage: systems · tooling · design. Hardware, academic papers, startup news — out of scope.
