Another AI lawsuit.

Lili Saintcrow @lilithsaintcrow.com · 21h

"But the lawsuit filed Wednesday is different in the way that it confronts not just an AI company but the lesser-known services the AI industry relies on to acquire online writings needed to train AI chatbots."

Reddit sues AI company over alleged 'industrial-scale' scraping of its users' comments

Social media platform Reddit sued the artificial intelligence company Perplexity AI and three other entities on Wednesday, alleging their involvement in an “industrial-scale, unlawful” economy to “scrape” the comments of millions of Reddit users for commercial gain.

Sad to hear Dave Ball of #Softcell no longer with us. Was performing and writing to the very end!

Dave Ball, one half of Tainted Love hitmakers Soft Cell, dies, aged 66

Bandmate Marc Almond paid tribute, saying: "He will always be loved by the Soft Cell fans who love his music and his music and memory will live on."

Searching for Your Genre

As a fantasy writer, Genre has become an increasingly important term in our community. Long gone are the days when we were considered simply ‘Speculative Fiction’. That was a catch-all term for all things that we now know as Science Fiction and Fantasy, along with Horror. But what about our stories now? What is our genre and how do we define it?

Writing vs Having Written

From the beginning of this blog, it has been about an unpublished (at the time) writer on his quest to become a published author. Most of my blog posts have been about successes and failures of the process of writing. I love being a writer, and today I would like to talk about the two kinds of writers. There are many of us who love the process of writing.
