That depends. Are AI companies going to keep stealing my published work without permission or compensation to train their models?
Should I be allowed to go into your house and steal what’s most valuable to you in order to enrich myself then throw a fit when you don’t welcome me with open arms?

Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

My struggle meal (which I am eating right now) is 2-3 eggs scrambled with whatever veggies and meat is left in the fridge and a slice of cheese, wrapped in a wheat tortilla and crisped again in the dying heat of the stove. It takes about 15 minutes to make and costs about $4.

A guy tried to grab me tonight the GD dark bc his dogs came barrelling out of the trees, snarling & snapping at my dog, who was so scared she hid behind me & pissed & I started kicking & yelling & driving them back. He got mad & shook me by the shoulder.
Anyways, he has a bloody nose now.

When my dog is sad or scared or upset I pet her ears and tell her in a calm, very “big gay dad” voice “don’t worry, you’re very good and you’re very loved.”
Anyway, someone overheard me today and started crying, in case you needed a “how are people doing” check.

🧵As a writer, activist, and general book-lover, I both read widely and often. I also keep a journal, in which I record each book I read, in order, along with a few notes (because Goodreads often makes me question the wisdom-and veracity-of "universal literacy.") #booksky

There is a book club organization out there emailing authors telling them the club will feature their work for a "modest fee" for "branded materials" etc. Do not fall for this nonsense. You should never, as a writer, have to pay for such things.
