This role is perfect for someone who is deeply passionate about technology, stays abreast of tech trends, and possesses a witty and engaging writing style. You are always on twitter, product hunt, etc… and you get excited about cutting-edge developments. You will be paid on a per-project basis.

Requirements:
* Proven scriptwriting experience, specifically for YouTube.
* Good understanding on how to “hook” a viewer in the first few seconds

(Emphasis on witty, funny, educational but entertaining writing!)
* Other than any meetings needed, your hours are flexible and will be mainly async.
Important Note:
* While AI tools can be utilized for preliminary research and as an aid, they should not contribute more than 5-10% to the scriptwriting process. We emphasize the importance of original, human-driven creativity in scriptwriting, as AI is not yet adept at capturing the nuanced, engaging content style we aim for.
