And I am not sure if this is a good thing: does copilot do the tasks? Delete them? Hide them? Randomly tick them as "done"?

thanks to these dogshit contracts I'm no longer submitting to Analog, Asimov's, or F&SF; it's infuriating that as opportunities for short fiction writers contract, the Big Three are helping make it happen
On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected. On July 17th, 2025, I finally sold a story to that magazine. Here's why I felt I had to withdraw that story. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

Despite new EU transparency laws, researchers are still blocked from vital social media data, while corporations buy the same information freely, argues Brandon Silverman. The result: a two-tier system that shields platforms from scrutiny and weakens democratic oversight.
