Using AI is basically crossing a digital picket line, and treating authors who use it like scabs feels appropriate.
If you care about your rights and the rights of other creatives, you don't use generative AI under any circumstances (marketing, editing, drafting, outlining, artwork, narration, etc.)

Very weird to see writers cheering for A.I. audiobooks. This is the same horrible machine that they want to replace YOU. Audiobook narrators are your peers.

I don't want to talk to a chat bot. I don't want to use AI to respond to a message. I don't want to download an app. I don't want to connect my fridge to wifi. I don't want to connect my socials to my bank. I don't want to rent the thing I used to own. I don't want to get notifications on my phone.

The fact that the White House is talking about white genocide in South Africa should chill you to the bone.

Nothing important here. Just a publicly-traded company disclosing to investors that it’s attempting to bribe the President of the United States by buying his cryptocurrency in order to influence his trade policy.
Company Boasts Spending Up To $20 Million On Trump Crypto Coin To Buy Influence
The arrangement puts money in Trump’s pocket in return for the opportunity to change policy — exactly the sort of pay-to-play scheme critics warned about.

Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

If you hear a man say "your body my choice" That's him consenting to being beaten in the skull with a cinder block. Don't worry its in the rules.
