The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

I have thought long and hard about starting up a new books publication, given how much criticism has been cut across the board. The business model is really difficult. The return on investment is low. We used to be okay with some parts of media not growing rapidly year over year forever.
