Today is the day!

I am thrilled and humbled to announce that I am represented by Global Lion Management. My YA Gothic novel, BLACKMOORE COLLEGE, will be represented by Charlie Serabian.

Apparently, he read the manuscript while listening to the Wednesday soundtrack and that was the key lol

@realgdt.bsky.social's FRANKENSTEIN is a haunting Gothic masterpiece. I was lucky enough to attend a 35mm screening of the film at Hollywood's Egyptian Theater with @ruthiewrites91.bsky.social, & it was an exquisitely beautiful adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel.

This , this, 1000% this!

GenAi companies, wether they be OpenAi, Meta, Google and so on, are absolutely out of control.

However, WE have so much power in our hands if we just pay attention, call, send letters, and vote! Yes, even in this messed up era.

New York Times Opinion @nytopinion.nytimes.com · 20d

Mark Zuckerberg has a vision for how A.I. could be used in Meta's universe.

But the actor and filmmaker Joseph Gordon-Levitt is here to point out a flaw in the technology: an apparent lack of guardrails around how the company's chatbot interacts with underage users. nyti.ms/3ILwCNo

3. If you see content that disturbs you, immediately (or as fast as possible) go and play 20-30 minutes of Tetris (or any other fast-paced game with your eyes sweeping over the visual field that has caused visual artifacts to linger when you close your eyes for you in the past).

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

Horrified that they have to face consequences for their theft? You bet!

"If the appeals court denies the petition, Anthropic argued, the emerging company may be doomed. As Anthropic argued, it now "faces hundreds of billions of dollars in potential damages liability at trial in four months"
