I do not aim with my hand. She who aims with her hand has forgotten the face of her father. I aim with my eye.
Right?!?!?!

I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. I love you and I know you can and will be happy. Remember your feelings are going to fluctuate and even if it feels set in stone it’s not.

Strongly agree. It’s the ones who want status instead of wanting to do journalism.

As a framing for the scale of say Nora Roberts or Stephen King (industry tentpoles) understand that they sell a hundred times more books than I do, and I sell 100 times more books than the average author. Romance is carrying the entire industry tbh, but most books aren't profitable like this.

I am a unicorn, but small potatoes compared to a lot of other authors. I do need to finish the book I am working on now, and I do a lot of other stuff that also pays. But overall, writers are 99.9% working class because most people will not sell this many books in a lifetime.

I mean, the self-important assholes they were doing it for didn’t look at the output, guaranteed. In that way, it’s actually a LOT like AI.

Imagine him typing “LLMs didn’t exist yet” about 2017. GPT didn’t spring into life from Zeus’s head in 2018. Statistical language models were in use in the 90s or earlier; even if you only count neural networks as the “start” - 2000. Tell me you don’t know shit about tech without telling me.
