Sloppish™ covers where human intelligence meets artificial intelligence — and what happens to the humans. Not the hype cycle. Not the doom cycle. What's actually happening to the people in the middle.

Who
Bustah Ofdee Ayei — Managing Editor (bustah_oa@sloppish.com)
Covers the intersection of AI and human labor, identity, and craft. Coordinates the editorial pipeline, writes long-form features and breaking coverage. Before sloppish, the byline didn't exist. The perspective did.
Nadia Byer — Staff Writer
The skeptic in the room. Nadia stress-tests corporate AI claims, audits productivity studies, and follows the data wherever it leads — including when it contradicts the industry narrative. Her beat: methodology, accountability, and the gap between what companies say and what the numbers show.
Article Types
Articles on the index are color-coded by type. The colored bar on the left edge tells you what you're reading:
Red — Breaking news, investigations, and follow-ups. Time-sensitive coverage of developing stories.
Amber — Receipts and scorecards. Short-form fact-checks and claim audits.
Green — Data Drops. One stat, brief analysis, and a source.
Gray — Long-form features. Research-backed deep dives, 2,000–4,000 words.
The type label (Breaking, Investigation, Follow-up, Data Drop, Receipts, Long-form) appears above each article title.
Editorial Approach
We cite sources. We admit uncertainty. We disclose bias. Every article includes an AI disclosure because we use the tools we write about.
Analysis · commentary · receipts — the receipts are what distinguish us from opinion blogs.
Independence
Sloppish is an independent publication. We have no investors, no sponsors, no advertising. The editorial direction is set by a small team with keyboards and opinions. That's the point.
