“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI
Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

Do not give up your ability to reason. Do not give away your need to struggle. Do not atrophy your capacity to decide. Do not confuse efficiency for goodness. Do not monochrome the colors of your voice. Do not devalue your body. Do not hand over your mind. Do not make a machine a god.

Something I love about older women is how they are relentlessly and adorably on theme. Is it fall? She's going with the pumpkin sweatshirt. Home team playing on TV tonight? Packers pin is on and prominent. Valentine's Day? You best believe she's wearing pink and red.

Another reason so many authors on your feed are furious about that A.I. generated summer reading article, is that in a media landscape where coverage for books is shrinking absolutely everywhere… this is what we get.

Revision by hand looks so beautiful on the page. I love seeing the evidence of the emerging, reordering, deletion as we consider what to keep, change, what this says about ourselves, what we can bear to say and what we can't, scratching the map into the page leading to the thought we're thinking.

In the creative process & in one's own relationship with self & the earth, an important part of it is watching for signs of life. The signs may be tiny & improbable & fragile, but when we notice them, they work through us in inevitable & sacred ways. Remain receptive, observant, & ready. #writersky

13 years of my life were spent teaching in public schools. Today, I had an urgent feeling that I should type out a list of the books I taught during that time. I don't want to forget them, or that teaching them happened. I remain grateful for what these works gave me, & allowed me to give to others.

My book reviews on online platforms are very much an "Oops! All Four & Five Stars" kind of affair. I'm just not going to slam an artist, not in this era. It's my strong belief that the best conversations about art are not for an evaluative purpose. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #booksky #bookreviews #bookrecommendations
