When I glance at your account, if I see an AI generated image or a pro-AI post--that makes me sad.
It's an automatic mute/block, no matter how great I find the rest of your account.

We need it. Not only are the classes full, but also concert halls, libraries - we've gone to a bunch of classical concerts this year as an antidote to despair and guess what - they are full. They were not as full before, but they are now.

"Humanities are shrinking" is artificially imposed top down.
"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

My kid carved his pumpkin too scary and is now afraid of it. Honestly, being terrified of your own creation is about as Halloween as you can get.

You heard Clarkesworld. Go buy Subterranean Press ebooks direct from their site and show them your support during a time of Amazon fuckery (it's almost always a time of Amazon fuckery of course).
Wishing our friends at Subterranean Press the best of luck while they work with Amazon to get this straightened out. You can also buy their ebooks direct from them at subterraneanpress.com. (Cutting Amazon out of the picture.)

Pretty much makes for a knee-jerk buy for me.
Although it's @scalzi.com--so I know I'd buy it regardless. 😁🐓

Time travel is easy, though it comes with a caveat: when you arrive in a new present, you are someone else entirely.

Heads up, writer friends. For the second time I received a cute email from an 11 year old asking if I'd read their short story and give feedback. Story Not an attachment but a link. Be safe. Delete. Do not respond. Emails virtually identical but for boy/girl name.

$#@& 🤬
NEW: Common Crawl, the massive archiver of the web, has gotten cozy with AI companies and is providing paywalled articles for training data. They’re also lying to publishers who have asked for material to be removed. “The robots are people too,” CC’s exec director told us when we asked about this.
The Nonprofit Feeding the Entire Internet to AI Companies
Common Crawl claims to provide a public benefit, but it lies to publishers about its activities.

I hope openai gets sued into oblivion, and when they get to oblivion, the void lords banish them to the shadow realm, and then when they get to the shadow realm, they get annihilated by a blue eyes white dragon

No.

Many of us have said/done this innocently before or without thinking so I issue no judgement here. But the ones that know it & do it on purpose tho…

THIS THREAD.
At my monthly writing group the lady sitting next to me waxed rhapsodic over using AI to 'improve' her writing (turns out it didn't, natch), while the rest of us made faces/shook our heads. Despite our reaction she kept trying to rationalize it & get someone to say it was ok to use.
😠
Stop sharing AI slop.

It's one thing if you don't know or just made a mistake. No need to breathe down someones neck b/c its harder to tell nowadays.

But if you do know (ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO KNOW) even if you're posting it to make fun of it or sharing it unironically... consider not doing that.
