My favorite time of the week is when my wife and I are on the couch and the light is dimmed and we’re watching #gbbo and we both simultaneously go “oh nooooooo” very quietly under our breath.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

While we’re suing AI companies, can authors also, as a class, start suing the organized groups behind book banning? We have literal receipts proving the tremendous personal, professional, and financial damage incurred because of their malevolent libel and slander.

Last night’s dream: Me, on a spacewalk, “Guys, shouldn’t we be wearing spacesuits? Or at least helmets?”
Also me: *accidentally breaks space telescope in half, watches it float off into oblivion* “It’ll still work tho, right guys?”
Exciting addition to my (robust) collection of anxiety dreams!

Sounds like a decent settlement for when we win our class action lawsuit(s).
Open AI’s valuation is at $400 billion. They used about 190,000 books to train their plagiarism bot. Randomly saying 25% of their value comes from that stolen dataset, I think they owe the authors about $526,000 per stolen book.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.
