Like 90% of the worlds problems stem from unqualified adults with the mental and emotional capacity of children in positions of power never learning to handle criticism and/or taking all the wrong lessons from their failures.

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

This note from an alpha reader on my next novel, Influencer, killed me. Came at the end of the first intense and graphic scene so, I think I did a good job with that one lol. #writersky #booksky #horrorbooks

When people ask me what inspires me as a writer, I never know if they’re asking me what other stories or books I use as inspiration or if they’re asking like philosophically why I wrote what I write. Like do you want “Nat Cassidy, Chuck Tingle, Stephen King” or “my childhood trauma?”

You’d think if these people were actually as proud to be using AI as they claim, they wouldn’t mind having their slop labeled or watermarked for what it is. It’s almost like even the AI bros know that it’s dogshit and no one wants it.

A few reminders: -Health insurance companies denying claims is violence. -Criminalizing homelessness is violence. -Mass surveillance is violence. -Price hikes on necessities are violence. -Policing which bathroom people use is violence. No one has to throw a punch or fire a bullet to be violent.

Damn. I was really interested in The End of Oak Street until now. It's beginning to feel like the only ethical way to consume media is pirating. They won't let us own anything and now they're propagating this AI garbage from multibillion dollar companies. Fuck this.

Why authors want Amazon reviews

If a book gets 10 reviews the author receives a cryptic fragment of a treasure map.

If a book gets 30 reviews the Bank of England will then accept copies of the book as legal tender.

If a book gets 50 reviews Amazon sends the author a free unicorn.

Why not help an author you love get a free unicorn by reviewing their book today!

Media Illiteracy and AI Psychosis is entirely the fault of an education system that devalued the arts for generations of kids who desperately needed it. The idea that art is only good if it is "realistic" or "photographic" is a fallacy that anyone with half a braincell should see through with ease.

Gen AI is not a tool. It is a badly made plagiarism simulator that needs the works of millions of experts to produce something amateurish if you look at it from ten yards and squint. It is not inevitable. It does not provide value and will fade into irrelevancy like all useless tech before it.
