French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.
All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

Because I see people pulling the “I just want to enjoy movies!” card and go forth, literally nobody is stopping them.
But what they mean is they want everyone to shut up so they won’t feel any twinges.
Too bad.

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

In the time since I first posted this thread, this TikTok spam network has grown in size and added new types of repetitive content to its lineup.
Additionally, many of the accounts have pivoted to hawking dubious dietary supplements.

In recent days, oddly similar AI-generated videos depicting nonexistent Black people accompanied by captions such as “dear white people” and “hit follow if you want peace” have proliferated on TikTok. Here's a look at the spam network posting the videos.

The thing about cleaning, the post party clean up is when the people's real colors leap out. In a good way. The people who stay after with you and care about your cleaning systems, want to turn on music, or just have a conversation are gold.

I don't need people to feel compelled to halfheartedly endorse my fiction if they don't like it. I can't write everyone's favorite book. I can write somebody's though. And like all writers I've read tons of negative reviews of my stuff. But if you're coming to me about my work be excited with me!
