This strikes me as just a way to let LLM in the door over at SFWA. You do not a survey to craft a no generative AI policy.
SFWA is doing a survey on LLM use in the industry. You don't need to be a member to submit. Writers/artists/humans need all the advocates we can get, and I hope we can encourage SFWA to take a strong stance. www.sfwa.org/sfwa-survey-...

It feels like from now on, every single time a celebrity makes a sudden lurch into right-wing politics, the question on everyone's minds should be "which crime was it?"
Russell Brand charged with new rape and sexual assault offences
Russell Brand will appear in court on 20 January 2026 over the new charges.

Thinking about the unmade action-horror film SHADOW COMPANY, that was to be directed by John Carpenter from a script by Shane Black / Fred Dekker, about the re-animated corpses of American soldiers destroying their small American hometown over Christmas. Kurt Russell would have starred.

i feel like every video game company executive sees another company getting cooked for admitting to using AI and for some reason thinks it will be different this time if they step up and say "i also use AI for for my widely beloved franchise" and then the cycle repeats

And please also, AGAIN, never forget that they are inherently unethical to use because no one gave permission for their research or writing to be used in it. It is all stolen, and if you're using the plagiarism machine, please keep that in mind.
My friends, I say this with all the love in my heart: Right now might not be the moment for “But we should be TOLERANT and NUANCED about the plagiarism machines!”
Your tolerance and “nuance” will be weaponised by the grifters and their apologists. Please respect yourselves more.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

Almost no new jobs have been added since April and 710,000 more people are unemployed now compared to a year ago.
Meanwhile consumer prices are skyrocketing thanks to Trump's tariffs.
Does this sound like an "A+++++" economy to you?

Energy bills have increased 13% since Trump took office.
Families have paid an extra $1,200 on goods this year because of his tariffs.
Popular holiday gifts are 26% more expensive this year compared to 2024.
Remember this as Trump calls affordability a "hoax" and a "con job."

We’re at the point now where people are calling being anti-LLMs as “outrage” as a convenient way to characterise it as unreasonable, and it’s annoying. I’m not outraged, I’m repulsed. I don’t want your stolen shit. It’s gross. You are a fucking loser to me

Larian embracing AI for concept art sucks. CA is the bedrock, the foundation for art in games. It is the promise of what can be with your game. Before any art assets are made, before there is a game to play; Concept art is there to inspire and excite the team. To destroy that w/ AI slow is criminal

Gonna be real, you dont need AI at all. Not with references, not with ideas, not to help you brainstorm, nothin. Not in games and especially NOT animation.
You dont need an ass-pat machine to help you and your brain. Ask someone who you trust to give you proper feedback without crushing you.
