Ready with the flow charts AND the ho-charts, for whatever Brennan has cooked up?

Name and shame em! It’s bell Canada and apparently this is a trial and depending how it goes they might do it at more conventions. Let them know you hate this! It sucks! They suck!

Counterpoint: There is has never been a more urgent time to write a book. Technofascism is, among other things, an attempt to capture and enclose literature and literacy. Print is a rent strike.

is there anything more pointless right now that writing a book? feels that way to me

Oh, god no. It's squandering two actresses who could be having lesbian sex in a much better show.

Picture literally every generic prestige TV drama from the last five years. It's that, but also Malin Akerman and Brittany Snow have lesbian sex.

I have a vision for a Final Fantasy XVI sequel, and now it's everyone's problem. Much like Jill Warrick having a gun.

If they're using AI for references, I wouldn't be surprised if they intended to feed your work in to try and avoid paying you.

“It’s just a tool! People used to hate on photoshop too.”

Take away my photoshop, take away my tablets, I can still draw. Take away your plagiarism machine and what are you gonna do? Shout prompts at me?

If there's one Fayth I believe would do this, it's the Shitty Child Fayth (affectionate).

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:
Every April, we celebrate Independent Bookstore Day to remind us how vital indie bookstores are to our communities and society. It’s a day of joy and solidarity, and significant financial impact for these bookstores.

This year, Amazon is undercutting that with a “Book Sale” on the same day—a calculated move by a company that has already put half the bookstores in the country out of business, controls over 60% of the market and sells far more books than all indie bookstores combined. The people at Amazon responsible for the timing of their "Book Sale" should be ashamed, but they are shameless.

While it's nice to see more noise about how terrible JKR is, as a trans woman I would appreciate it if there was less focus on "here's what you can read instead" and more "here's how you can materially help trans people".

We're the victims here, please stop centring the purity of your bookshelves.

This might be one of the best videos you've made. Thank you for such a thoughtful, solidly researched analysis of such a big problem. Hopefully all the positive attention it's getting has an impact.

"Fellas is it gay to have sex with a woman" is such a wild plank upon which to build their platform.

A fantastic read! Thanks for such a clear analysis of the mess. (And solidifying my resolve to not bother with this movie, haha)

It's almost impressive, how he wakes up every day and gets stupider.

New: HarperCollins confirms it has a deal to sell authors' work to AI company. The Big Five publisher made a deal with an unnamed “artificial intelligence technology company” and is allowing authors to opt-in if they want to join the agreement.

Never shut up about tech that enables theft on both ends and uses more energy and water than a small country. Never.

can people stop telling me to let ai in the arts go??? if we shut up now, there's no controlling it, no regulating it, artists and authors will keep having all their works cannibalised and reshaped for profit they don't see.

so, no. i won't shut up.

fuck ai.
