OK so is @ktempestbradford.com ever going to personally apologise for her part in that disrespectful shitshow of a Hugo ceremony or
You butchered names and laughed about it. You skipped finalists and made people cry on what should have been a career highlight. And you have nothing to say?

I also want to raise that the presenters who laughed and bungled this definitely know what racism and microaggressions are because
They teach workshops about it.

Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident"

chatgpt is much like an improv comedy group
1) you are the audience, giving it prompts
2) it produces things roughly shaped like your prompt
3) it is trained to respond with Yes, And
4) it has the factual accuracy of improv
5) it does not understand comedy

shout out to all the writers and artists who take forever to finish something. I get it, bro. I take a long time too. but your worth as a writer/artist isn't built upon production. so just keep striding it out. keep taking those steps. we each have our own race track. we'll get to the finish line

So weird. I wonder who at X would have both the motivation and the access to circumvent normal protocol and incompetently try to make Grok pretend “white genocide” in South Africa is a thing.
xAI says employee made unauthorized changes causing unprompted “white genocide” responses… no indication of who that employee might be or what is happening to them

You must understand that Steve Harvey's turn at the Family Feud hosting wheel has subtly invented a new form of game-show host playbook: the punished. He is neither benevolent nor cruel to his guests. The point is what the show has done to HIM. He is Sisyphus, and he will never escape.
