OOH this is a fab read, get in!
For a limited time, you can grab my award-winning novella, TIKKA CHANCE ON ME, for just $0.99! Trucker and Pinky are a cheap date! But, sorry, you'll have to procure your own samosas.

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

If Al were a physical object, walking around doing the same shit Al has been doing, it would be behind bars. Its creators should be there as well.
Josh Crowley: "If I built a big robot that consumed 33% of my state's electricity so it could go around stealing people's art I would be arrested, and that's how you know law is a social construct."
And what should happen if that thirsty robot started talking teenagers into taking their own lives?

Fascinated by the business choice of trying to appease someone whose moods are extremely volatile + mercurial, who also appears to be in deeply questionable health. Like will the consequences of those decisions outlive the man's good opinion, or the man himself?

I read Kick at the Darkness by Suleikha Snyder. It's a zombie apocalypse novella, yet so emotionally intense, and the central couple has such history and a complex romantic journey, and the HEA is so fulfilling despite the bleak world... HOW?! I love reading skillful romance. This genre is hard.

I would like for us to stop calling it "AI art" or "AI writing" as it is neither.
"AI images" or "AI text" is acceptable. ("Generated images or text" is even better, but we've probably lost the fight to stop calling auto-completion machines "AI.")
"Art" and "writing" are only created by people.
