NEW: Common Crawl, the massive archiver of the web, has gotten cozy with AI companies and is providing paywalled articles for training data. They’re also lying to publishers who have asked for material to be removed. “The robots are people too,” CC’s exec director told us when we asked about this.
The Nonprofit Feeding the Entire Internet to AI Companies
Common Crawl claims to provide a public benefit, but it lies to publishers about its activities.

At my monthly writing group the lady sitting next to me waxed rhapsodic over using AI to 'improve' her writing (turns out it didn't, natch), while the rest of us made faces/shook our heads. Despite our reaction she kept trying to rationalize it & get someone to say it was ok to use.

Stop sharing AI slop.
It's one thing if you don't know or just made a mistake. No need to breathe down someones neck b/c its harder to tell nowadays.
But if you do know (ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO KNOW) even if you're posting it to make fun of it or sharing it unironically... consider not doing that.

Low bar but I miss when CEOs usually weren't public figures, did shitty things quietly and were secure enough in their shittiness to not lash out daily because people didn't like them enough. The money not being enough anymore was a real turning point in the history of corporate supervillainy.

I suppose that the magic of writing is all of those words flitting carefree from head to page.
The craft of writing seems to be deleting all the ones that don't fit.
The horror of writing must be never knowing if what is left is pure garbage. 😀
