‘Useful phrases for the murder mystery writer abroad’ (my cartoon for this week’s Guardian Books)
Title: Useful phrases for the murder mystery writer abroad An eight-panel cartoon showing a writer in a series of situations in a foreign country. Panel 1: looking at historic buildings saying "Kia bela vilaĝo!" which is translated below as "What a lovely village!" Panel 2: in a pretty garden asking the gardener "Ĉu ĉi tiuj estas venenaj" meaning "Are any of these plants poisonous? Panel 3: in a bar asking the server “Kie oni povas aĉeti pafilon?" meaning " Can one purchase a firearm nearby?" Panel 4: on a beach asking a fisherman "Ĉu la tajdo povus forporti kadavron?" meaning "Could the tide carry a dead body away?" Panel 5: approached by a police officer and saying "Saluton, oficiro." which is translated below as "Hello officer." Panel 6: being marched to the police station protesting "Okazis miskompreno!" meaning "There has been a misunderstanding!" Panel 7: in the interrogation room the officer holds up a moleskine notebook, the writer explains "La murdo en mia notlibro estas fikcia." meaning "The murder planned in my notebook is fictional." Panel 8: locked in a cell asking "Mi ŝatus telefoni al la Brita konsulejo." which means "I would like to telephone the British consulate." Note: The foreign language used by the writer in the cartoon is Esperanto. It has not been proofread by an Esperanto speaker so there may be errors.

The law determines what is legal. It does not determine what is true; what is just; what is morally and ethically sound and defensible. The history of law is the history of the legal system being wrong on these grounds.

Petition nearly at 10,000 signatures. Sign it, write to your MP, and - if you can - get to the protest at 1pm King’s Cross today. Meta stole my books and all my mates’ and we are PISSED OFF.

Cornish Short Stories came up in The Atlantic’s LibGen search tool when I searched the editors’ names, which means it may be one of the texts used to train Meta’s LLM. I can’t speak for the other writers whose work appears in that anthology but personally, I’m fuming.

This is further proof that AI companies are free-riding on the work of authors, which makes effective legal regulation that gives creators proper transparency and control all the more urgent. We're working with our partners in the creative sector to urgently make this case to the Government.

Oh, is it annoying when someone uses your work to train their AI model without asking your permission???
