The AI camera of your dreams. And nightmares.
(This is the best and most measured discussion I've seen about AI and creativity. A lot of people are desperately worried about their financial safety and creative identity
however that often doesn't create good videos. This is a better way to do it)

Wow! a sensible thread about running the Worldcon

One thing that the reactions to this thread have really crystalized for me is how amorphous the demand to centralize the running of the Worldcon actually is. After years of having this conversation, I still haven't seen even a vague sketch of what it would look like.

The Worldcon programme is up, and as usual there is something wrong with it. The offending panel has already been removed, but what I want to talk about is how this has once again occasioned calls to drop the model where each Worldcon is run separately, and move to a centralized organizing body.
