There is no place for generative "AI" in the Arts, full stop

All you
-contrarians
-"but what about?"s
-advocates itching to find any example to negate the fundamental facts:

It is not Human
It is built upon theft
It (& you) generate, not Create

Stop wasting actual Human Creatives' time, ffs.

Three gay witches---a transfemme autist, a burnt out prodigy, and a runaway music witch---and a sentient plant must hide from the peering eyes of witch society for three months. Cue magical training montages, emotional exploration, and a helping of sapphic love.

If you can't say trans rights with your whole chest, then keep Pride month out of your mouth.

so if you click the thing they give you four titles of books immediately and tell you they're BAD and include lurid quotes

only...they don't show up in searches of school libraries in Edmonton. Not one.

But A Court of Thorns and Roses Does. The entire series, in fact

So does Fourth Wing.
Hey Alberta peeps… feel free to complete this very leading survey that’s in support of book banning hiding under the guise of protecting children. Tell the UCP government we don’t ban books here. #alberta

Well, today's a pretty big day in my life.

It's not my life no, a family members life. And I know not many get this opportunity, life is rough, but this woman in my life, she has done so much for so many people, a teacher, mother, grandmother and great grandmother.

Happy 100th Birthday Great Nanny

Urging those who can vote in the current Canadian federal elections to do so. Early voting was hitch-free for me. There’s always a lot at stake but it feels particularly existential now.

This is where I'm at. There are autistic poets, autistic lovers, autistic factory workers, etc., which proves the lie to RFK Jr.'s words.

Simultaneously, those autistic peeps who don't do those things still deserve dignity because they are human, and saying otherwise proves RFK Jr.'s inhumanity.
Two things can be true:

1) autistic folk with higher support needs are *people* and worth a fuck of a lot more to the world than the people who think otherwise

2) assumptions about what autistic people can and can't do have real-world consequences and are also really fucking irritating

Cliffhanger, 100%. I'd rather read a story that the author has taken their time and energy to complete instead of rushing it. It will be so much more satisfying than a rushed ending.

Absolutely right. Nobody should be supporting JK Rowling, who is now taking an active role in the UK government and spearheading the systemic torment of the very kids who once would have loved her books. Shameful.
This is evil and awful and trans people everywhere deserve better than what's happening right now.

And I think it's impossible to overtstate the pivotal role that JK Rowling played in mainstreaming hateful and false ideas about trans people. Every dollar you give her goes toward efforts like this.
The U.K. Supreme Court rules that Britain's equalities law defines a woman as someone born biologically female. The ruling means a transgender person with a certificate that recognizes them as female should not be considered a woman for equality purposes.

I know people who will absolutely say it's performative to hop on social media and go "hey I love trans people trans people are cool and great," and those people are kinda right. But things being performative doesn't make them wrong. If you attack my friends, I announce my love.

I think the thing about AI “writers” that is the most baffling to me is that they’ll never experience the joy of all of the puzzle pieces falling into place. They’ll never know that feeling of satisfaction during editing when you make one change that allows the whole book to shine.
