Senior Editor

Sean is a senior editor at The Verge, a very good website he helped found in 2011.

It’s from a cache of mostly redacted exhibits in a potential class-action lawsuit against Valve. Simon Carless dug them up, read more:

TIL song-slaying AI sensation “There I Ruined It” starts with a real person’s voice.
