I am invested in the argument that authors ruin series by not finishing them.

The #1 current reason series die is because publishers drop promo so much on books 2, 3 etc.

#2 readers not buying because the series hasn't all been written yet - kills far more series than authors do.

Very well put.
I'd also love to help with updating the Runner's Guide (I don't have much experience with WorldCon, but some with other kinds of events and volunteering), if you end up wanting more hands at any point.

My head sounds like that too! On days I feel super productive and/or (usually and) over-people'd
Usually need about 3 days to recover after one of those

I will vouch for the 10 min YouTube yoga videos to a frankly unfathomable amount of exercise 5 yrs later pipeline.

Holy fuck

Very true, not only wrong but unreliably so, exactly what people want from a vetting tool.

So. Let’s look at the damn request. The first line? Not too terrible a start. ‘Scandal’ is an umbrella term and thus too vague to be useful, though. The second line includes examples, but you need to list EVERY SINGLE OPTION or stuff gets left out because the llm will miss ones a human won’t.

So really curious how having to check hallucinations in press articles in foreign languages is saving that much time for the volunteers?
Also not really surprised that this is another one of those things that seems to work out worse for people with non-English names.

that would've been in my favor (I haven't, but I'm a finalist part of the r/fantasy bingo team, so I might've if not for the crushing fear of public speaking)
Then it said I'd been involved in a sex scandal with my students, different person, same last name, different gender. 2/3

I love it!
