This is really good. The piece on Saruman is a wildly dissembling bit of corporate PR but huge fun. The piece on Tyrion? Is just and true.
"I’ve personally always been most interested in those people who exist in the grey area between, or cross from hero to villain and back again..." 🗡️❤️

Happy UK release day to THE DEVILS! I interviewed @joeabercrombie.com about creating this raucous grimdark fantasy about a group of misfit monsters on a dangerous mission, how he designed its alternate-history world, wrote the distinctive voices of the Devils, his work on the sequel, and more:

Ugh. I don’t WANT to use Ai. It’s not a refusal, I just don’t need it.
Bizarrely framed article about the people (all women) who ‘refuse to use AI’. And a #philosophy professor who says “The moment to opt out of #AI has already passed”. Oh well. That’s that then. 🤷♂️ #AIEthics www.bbc.com/news/article...
The people refusing to use AI
Worried about the environment and the loss of skills, some people are resisting the rise of AI.
