OK, ground rules:
I am a US expat in Canada. Been here 20+ years, have renounced my US citizenship and consider myself primarily Canadian.
I do post occasionally about US stuff but am mainly concerned with Canada. If you don't know me, please don't bring US politics to my posts. Trying to be sane.

My refusal to use AI has not negatively affected my life in any way. In fact, it's been positive, as a number of players have said they specifically bought my game after noticing my strong anti-AI stance.
I'd probably be good at prompting. I'm good at search engines. I don't care.

I actually agree that there is going to be a skill gap between people who regularly use AI vs those who refuse to use it, and it's that after the bubble pops the refusers will be fine while the AI-dependent will be missing or have let atrophy basic skills

WE aren't going to (not actual writers... we WANT to WRITE). The question is how much publishers think they can get away with using AI to replace people. I suspect the greater threat is AI "editors."
this article’s a psyop, its sole purpose is to convince all writers they have to use AI or else
fuck this lady, fuck the nyt reporter, fuck all of this. fuck amazon for introducing the KU page read model that makes this possible, fuck our tech overlords.

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

I've found that often "talent" is just "something to which this person was exposed early in life, so it comes a little easier when they start actually working on it." Because the body remembers. But you can still develop a skill at which you're not "talented" if you put in the work.
I'm going to say this again in case you haven't heard this one: I was a talented writer and it did *nothing whatsoever* because I hadn't put in the work, and I put in the work for ten years (subtracting the bit where I had to quit for my mental health) to write Witchmark
talent alone could *never*

Of course. Sociology teaches us to look critically at how society is structured and why it's structured that way. Which of course leads to the desire to make things more equitable. We can't have that.
I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.
Great work everyone.

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants"
No you don't.
If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.
