So... another one of these trips back to Glasgow. Dad's had a pretty severe stroke. He's conscious, but word salad, right side of body effected... It's hard to leave him. He had a bad night last night. Difficult to travel back down south. I feel like the corner of Glasgow Central Station... Empty.

Even though the HWA have apologised and reinforced their stance against AI in fiction and put out a statement, @chuckwendig.bsky.social nails it on the head in his blog. "Anyway. Have a great day. And fuck AI, amen."
“Oh, but Sèphera, there are different levels of AI use, and some are OKAY, but some ARE NOT.”

I mean, yeah? Isn’t that life? Everything is on some kind of spectrum, and sometimes that spectra is, in fact, in an increasing gradient of “enh” to “demonically terrible.” We’re all making choices out here however we can. AI that finds cancer or gets me to the mall faster is different than the one that stole my work and shits it back out when prompted.

Yet again, @everyscififilm.bsky.social knocks it out of the park with this one. Destroy all Monsters the end of an era... well, sort of. 58 years later, Gojira is still going strong.
