It is about this: because so many people do not give a shit about romance, shit gets tried in romance first.
You should pay attention to romance publishing news and care about it, because they will try that shit here first.

Thanks to @sfwa.org for being so responsive to concerns around the Nebula Awards and LLM use. The Nebula should honor human creativity, as the revised rules now state. However, we also don't want to see writers tripped up on eligibility or hit by witch hunts over minor LLM usage like spell check. 1/

I read this & can’t shake the hubris of AI dude bros. They really can’t stop the enshittification of every single thing. But more worrying is how strongly they desire to make AI sentient & how they believe they are.
How is this not then enslavement?
Their intentions are grotesque to me.

A Discord for gay gamers is in disarray after an exec at Anthropic forced an AI chatbot on the Discord.
When confronted, the exec said he would not submit to mob rule and that AIs have emotions. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

Fellow #publishers: I realize there's nothing fool-proof about this, but it's a minimum step we must take to protect our authors' words from being fed through a generative AI tool willy nilly. Switch off Google's default-on smart features.

So here's what I wish for us:
* we give books as holiday gifts
* we get them from our local indie bookstores
* we spend time reading with the people and pets we love
* when we feel the call, we write
* we get enough sun, nutrients, movement, and sleep
* we bloom again in springtime & kick ass. 11/11
