Regarding AI on Kindle, here's an article about it.
It's currently only on the Kindle iOS app. It'll be in the Android app and Kindle devices next year.
Amazon has said authors and publishers have no opt out option.
I expect there will be lawsuits about it so that timeframe may change.

i am begging people to realize because a story does something or says something, it doesnt always 100% mean the author supports that thing.

We desperately need a new payment system that's beyond the reach of puritans and politicians. Mastercard, Visa, and PayPal have entered intolerable territory.
It'll probably need to exist somewhere other than America, and I'm fine with that.

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

The 300-word piece I wrote for #ohmurr is going to be published this fall! I don't believe it pays anything, but a writing credit is a writing credit. My ed2go course on getting published suggested writing greeting cards to build credibility.
I'll stick with racy tell-all material instead.

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.
the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever
