Excellent, honest thread on the reality of being a writer today.
I'm not the only author I know who has a huge surfeit of ideas for books that we would love to write and send out into the world if only we had the time to write them.

And the big tycoons are relieved, of course, because they see AI as the magical solution. They're willing to do anything, drink any snake oil, toady to any fascist, fellate any tech bro, complement the emperor's new clothes, if it saves them from having to fairly remunerate workers for their labour.

All of which illustrates how infuriating it is when dipshits say that AI can 'help me to brainstorm ideas'. It can't do that. It can plaster a deepfake smile onto the corpse of zombie capitalism as it shambles towards the precipice of climate catastrophe, but it can't create meaningful literature.

The only kind of people who’d pay for this garbage (something to do work so they don’t have to learn) are the kind of people who pirate books (because they think writing should be free), and they WON’T pay, so… I don’t think he’s given this quite enough thought.
Exclusive: OpenAI has projected 220 million people will be paying for a basic ChatGPT subscription by 2030 as it follows Slack’s and Spotify’s business playbook.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

I’m so happy I no longer have to spend all day cooking so other people can “pause”.
Thanksgiving is this week,
and even though we don’t celebrate
it here in the UK, I wish we did. There’s
something beautiful about pausing,
sitting together, and naming the things
we’re grateful for. We could all use
more moments like that. 😊

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.
Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.
