Said website has now taken down all false author quotes, blamed the issue on a freelance writer using Google Bard, and now the article is about why writers -shouldn’t- use LLMs.
They mentioned “lots of emails” so good work everyone!

I was testing out a google search string I'd built for some work I'm doing, and I used my name, and I found an AI-written article that quotes me saying something I'd *NEVER* fucking say.
I don't use ChatGPT (or LLMs), nor ever have, on my fiction.

And as @hegemommy.bsky.social has said, this court is on the verge of allowing people to sue abortion providers because abortion gives them a case of the sads. She calls it grievance standing.I called it "I feel some type of way" standing. In either case, it's not an injury.

The bad news is that, the notion that doctors need standing to suing because, as Elie Mystal put it on Twitter, women are too "sad and embarrassed to sue in their own capacity" is misogynistic horseshit.

It's unfortunate that a lot of the press is going to be centered on wealthy white victims of states' anti abortion policies. But believe me women of color and low income white women have been imprisoned for bad pregnancy outcomes for over a decade. rewirenewsgroup.com/2021/12/03/b...
Brittney. Amanda. Purvi. Their Fates Could Be Your Future.
These are some of the first victims of a war on pregnant people. It's a war that will end with mass incarceration, surveillance, and even death.

"Hold women harmless" means nothing when the incarceration of women is the natural result of the fetus-first policies anti-abortion activists champion.

so anyway nurses are cops*, and if you have a pregnancy complication due to self managed abortion, you don't have to tell anyone at the hospital what you took. They'll ask. You don't have to tell them because if you live in an abortion hostile state, they might call the cops. Best safe than sorry

Rudy Giuliani’s attorney tells the jury that if the Freeman and Moss get the damages they're seeking, it is "the civil equivalent of the death penalty." "It will be the end of Mr. Giuliani," he said.

one thing to remember is that conservatives have been trying to dismantle higher ed once anyone not a white man could enroll.
once women and POC were accepted and hired, they've been framing universities as left wing institutions when the truth is the complete opposite
