"The current problem of AI knockoff books seems to have originated from the online KDP side hustle community. A quick search on TikTok shows close to 90,000 videos and tutorials on how to make passive income on KDP with constant AI publishing."
Amazon is making money off AI copies of books - and putting the onus on authors to prove they’ve been plagiarised.
Honestly, just stop buying books from Amazon. Get them from an actual bookshop or order them from a reputable book supplier like bookshop.org

I don't make an effort if there ain't a "Good effort!" sticker in it for me. Preferably, a scratch-and-sniff.
In our SantaCraft Steam forums we get a lot of vocal people saying that they would love to play the game, but that they don't buy games without achievements. And I don't get it. Not every game needs achievements.

Having just finished Suzanna Clarke’s “Piranesi”, I feel that it was a mistake to put what the publisher put on the back cover.

Be weirder and more unsettling
I think it would be fun if writers who love language started intentionally writing more strangely as AI flattens written "content" into a mono-voice. it would cool I think if writers responded by focusing their individual efforts on cultivating a really unique voice that's hard to copy

I made a mod that replaces cliffracers with Thomas the Tank Engine. I am incapable of learning lessons whenever it involves corporations, because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people.

“AI” seems often an excuse for businesses to raise prices, reduce quality of service, and intimidate or lay off employees.
All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.
I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

Armoured vehicles will always be made for bad guys, right? Like, who do you expect to be buying this horrible stuff? These things are made for violence, not meals on wheels.
ICE ordering fleet of 20 armoured vehicles from Canadian firm - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has earmarked millions of dollars for a bulk order for 20 armoured vehicles from Canadian defence manufacturer Roshel that are built to resist bullets and bomb blasts.
