I thought that was a picture of Ross Scott from Accursed Farms/Stop Killing Games and got so worried.
It always strikes me, in news items about AI licensing schemes and/or startups, how often authors are simply not mentioned: it's all about making things easy for publishers. Writers will need to fight their publishers--not just the AI companies www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Are you neurodivergent? Have you been belittled, hated, and condescended to for being who you are? I know I can’t be the only one. That’s why I wrote The Monsters Among Us, to flip the mental health narrative on its head and empower others like me.

Goes even more for writers, tbh, since you can make a book cover that's just a plain color with some text on it and it can still look striking.
And even if it doesn't, it still feels genuine, which is arguably even more important.

Indie game devs, when you use the slop machine in your game, it makes it clear to players that you don't give a fuck and just want money.

Today I found a new least favorite word: archetypally.
I found it by putting it in my WIP, then looking up if it was a real word, finding out it was, then audibly going "EUGH".
And no, I'm not cutting it.
