Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Well shit, Murder By Death is doing their last tour. I remember seeing them in 2019 (just months before lockdown) and it was amazing.
Looks like they'll be in my city October 25/26. Might go see them (regardless of whether someone comes with or not. This band meant so much to me over the years).

Officially quitting Twitter to be here. Not sure how active I'll be, but hoping to see more of my writer friends around these parts.
