100%. screenwriting mentors went from, 'do your homework' to 'wait HOW are you doing your homework exactly?' #ai
It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Failures- Digital Safety, moderating against Online Harms, toxic fandoms - the list goes on. Many targeted members of all screenwriting communities and colleagues in film, tv, games and digital industries experience stalking. We too thank @thewalrus.ca for dedicating space to this crucial issue.
Stalking kills. I am, by every possible measurement, a statistical anomaly because few people survive being stalked for a decade like I was.

Stalking is femicide in slow motion.

Grateful @thewalrus.ca covered this and asked me to weigh in.
