This is how they get you. With fun stuff, the "Ooh, let's make action figures of ourselves, ha, ha, ha." Soon enough AI becomes so deeply embedded everywhere in our society we can't opt out if it. Ever. Slippery slope, people.

I can’t be at the physical protest in London today, but I’m standing in solidarity alongside my fellow authors, creatives, and members of the @societyofauthors.bsky.social in demanding that Meta be held accountable for their theft of thousands of books, novels, and research papers. #DoTheWriteThing

What a brilliant, timely, and fervent warning wrapped up in a painstakingly poignant story. Well done, Suzanne. And may the odds that we can create a better future be ever in our favor. #sunriseonthereaping
