The problem with bundled newsletter subscriptions is the same as the problem with iTunes for major news outlets: You need all the subscription revenue to be sustainable, and splitting it up means less money. Yet bundling also addresses a real need. It's a dilemma.

I got one wrong. I thought, "This sounds like Cormac McCarthy on a bad day," and marked the passage as AI. But it *was* Cormac McCarthy on a bad day. The quiz is fun, but in my experience a bit misleading. AIs can produce 3-4 pp of OK prose, but then go haywire. They should test longer passages.
