I’ve reached the point - well actually, I reached it a while ago - where I’m militantly anti-AI. Fine - use it in bioscience labs and radiology where it might help analyse data more effectively. Use it sparingly for systems engineering. Everywhere else, it can fuck off.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In panel one we see Sarah, the protagonist, lying in bed with the lights out. She says, "Is everyone ready for sleep?"
In panel two we see a brain, heart, and stomach. They say, "Yes!" "Yup!" and "Yep!" 
In panel three we see a bladder, squirming. A speech panel says "Bladder?"
In panel four the bladder looks up. It says, weakly, "I don't know".

5⭐️ @beardedbetts grabs you with the title, then wallops you with a terrifyingly familiar story of capitalism forcing bodies and relationships to fall apart. A Kafkaesque quick-read nightmare that’s as gross as it is shockingly relevant. Thanks to @clashbooks.bsky.social for a review copy.

Across the US, workers are souring on AI. The tech industry has insisted that AI would make workers’ lives easier and more productive, that the more people understood and used AI, the more they would like it. Something closer to the opposite has happened.

Why office workers are turning against AI
Whether or not you like AI at work ultimately boils down to a question of power.

My next middle grade horror book is out next week! Perfect for fans of Goosebumps, young and old. Preorders up now direct from me and the usual suspects.
Front cover of THE LEGEND OF LOST LAKE by A.J. Stein. Image also indicates A.J. Stein is a pen name of Alex Ebenstein. The book is middle grade horror, and it releases September 1, 2026. Cover illustration by Marc Vuletich.

THE LEGEND OF LOST LAKE

Jackson ’s favorite part of summer is going to the family cottage on Lost Lake. Even better is getting to stay for a whole week, spending as much time fishing as possible.

Who cares if they ’re in the middle of a heatwave with no rain. It ’s really no problem when he can just go swimming to cool off. Right?

What then, made that large splash over in the lily pads? And why is that odd, old man down the road warning about some mysterious legend, and telling Jackson, no matter what, to stay out of the water?

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.
I will dispose of the first myth as quickly as possible. The “secret” is skill. If you haven’t learned how to do something, the people who have may seem to be magicians, possessors of mysterious secrets. In a fairly simple art, such as making pie crust, there are certain teachable “secrets” of method that lead almost infallibly to good results; but in any complex art, such as housekeeping, piano-playing, clothes-making, or story-writing, there are so many techniques, skills, choices of method, so many variables, so many “secrets,” some teachable and some not, that you can learn them only by methodical, repeated, long-continued practice — in other words, by work.
