Note: I will be using a North Walian dialect because I'm pretty sure my Welsh folks were from somewhere in the mid-North Wales area and also I like Eryri National Park a lot. A Lot. So that's the dialect I've been learning. ^-^ #NorthWales

So close! Good luck with the final 10k!!! 💪

Oh gosh, that's a lot of murder! I hope it's as satisfying as it is emotionally demanding. Good luck with the killings 😆

That's a good goal! How far are you into it at the moment?

I'm re-drafting a fantasy novel, the first in what will at some point be a trilogy. It's a steampunk political fantasy featuring dragons, magical engineers, and a cult that plans on overthrowing the Government House.

There is no stopping AI. That much is a given. Progress will slow for no-one. What can be done, however, is to bring awareness to its most useful applications, and as a society create pressure for those to be where AI is implemented most, rather than as a surveillance tool in every device out there.

but the way it is currently being introduced to the general public is NOT it. I fear the impacts of tightening IP legislation will make art more inaccessible, but I completely understand the need for people to protect their work from being pirated by a machine of all things.

AI is still so shitty it takes about as long to fix whatever it does spit out.) For instance, here's an example of where AI has actually reduced the carbon impact of farming parsnips:
There is potential for AI to be used responsibly, and for it to have value in society,

it's trained on, and more practical applications of it in scenarios where humans are less likely to work/want to work, such as labour-intensive jobs, dealing with complex programming that would take a human a lot longer to do (though at this point,

AI is just a symptom of late-stage capitalism, particularly in how it's being dished out to consumers and sold. If it were genuinely used as a solution and not a shitty cash-grab, there would be more focus on honing the things it is actually good for, more care about the maintenance of the data sets

That's amazing progress! Yes, it's such a great feeling when the words are flowing well :D

Thank you! 😊 How is your writing going at the moment?

I might even finally have a solid idea of how my story's ending is going to look when I finish my current draft! What a relief; it's really been the thorn in my side for weeks now 😅
