Since I'm trying a few posts here again, I should mention I have a book to sell you. Out now, link in bio, all my royalties will be going to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund. Ta
A book by an idiot, but the book is good and you should definitely buy it. It's called The Skeleton Crew by Andrew Swales. It's a dystopian thriller

Oh no I really hope Bill Clinton isn’t in the Epstein files, I’ll have to get rid of my Bill Clinton hat and my Bill Clinton sneakers and my Bill Clinton cologne and my Bill Clinton watch and take down my Bill Clinton flag and I’ll have to delete my Bill Clinton nft trading cards

What are these 'soft left' values exactly? locking children into poverty? snatching pennies from disabled people? running cover for war crimes? amazing

Trying this place again (the other places having hurt my brain too much. This place will probably do the same, but perhaps for different reasons. Excited to find out)

My son's first creepy kid picture. Couldn't be more proud of him
A child's crayon picture of an ominous figure shrouded in black, possibly in a graveyard?? A dark sky looms over him

Apparently Disney has adapted my novel into a TV series. Not sure what a 'star wars' is or who any of these people/bat things are, but I'm sure it's otherwise faithful to my text. Now to quit my job, sit back and watch the royalty cheque flood in #disney #starwars #skeletoncrew #writers

The ecosystem of writers, editors, copyeditors, illustrators, book cover artists, and agents that AI could harm is mind-boggling. Please continue to buy books by real authors, and art by real artists. We are going to need your support.

Why? Who is this meant to be good for? Nobody wants your shit AI books, never mind 8,000 in a year. Just a terrible idea and a horrible road the publishing industry is heading down.
Bookseller article with the headline "New publisher Spines aims to 'disrupt' industry by using AI to publish 8,000 books in 2025 alone" 🤮🤮🤮

Publisher: Do you want to put an LLM clause in the copyright statement?
Me: Definitely. How specific can we get?
Publisher: As specific as you like.
The copyright statement from Ephemeral City which reads in part: No part of this book may be used as data for ‘training’ any large language model or as part of any machine learning or neural network architeture. Human creaivity cannot be replicated by doing maths with stolen art. Altman, Andressen, and all their cronies can get fucked. Enquires should be made to the publisher.

Watched 13 Assasins last night - perfect set-up/pay-off type film I thought. This moment in particular had me hooting and hollering like a sugar-rushing four-year-old

Bit sick of it are you? (It being a peaceful protest against a slaughter of children that your party is, at best, choosing to ignore)
