It’s frustrating how many media people are falling for this “AI is going to kill us all” nonsense. The AI companies are lapping it up because they need us to think they’re making God.

Someone higher up often manages other divisions if a replacement isn't appointed yet. It's what happens til they find an alternate. In the meantime, I brace for Dungeons and Discourse and other D&Dtubers to flip out over it.

Reminder: 1. You don't need to have an opinion on everything, especially stuff you don't know enough about 2. You don't need to have a PUBLIC opinion on everything 3. It's okay to focus on one or two things and let others take up the slack elsewhere 4. It's okay to take a break when overwhelmed.

Yup. This is where I note to people that the "books vs audiobooks" debate is a nonissue for the vast majority of authors, we're delighted you come to our work whatever the format. Also audiobooks opened up a whole new revenue stream for us, which we also, you know, tend to like.
