AI will never feel a sense of despair at reading a line written by another writer because you are convinced you'll never write anything as good.
One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Hype each other up as often as possible.
If you like someone’s work, as a fan or a peer, tell them. (This is how so many of best relationships began!)
It will always catch them at a good moment. Because rejections are hard. Making art is hard.
Tell people when you like things. It matters.

FYI, this is genuinely insane behavior.

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan
The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.

The reason to require government approval of big mergers is to prevent market-distorting concentrations of corporate power that harm competition and consumers, not so the president can distort the market in favor of ideological allies and/or solicit a bribe for himself.

not sure how to square ‘no one person can be reasonably expected to pay for every media subscription’ with ‘sorely underpaid writers need to make a living’ but my inclination is not to locate that problem with any of the broke ass people on either end of the complaint
