Replace every how-to-publish panel with one on the material realities of publishing. This is where I’m at.

My partner just said "is it queer to date an AI" and I really miss the heyday of twitter where you would have been able to amuse yourself for hours reading discourse about just this type of thing

The Artistic Journey: 2021: celebrated as I published one of the best books of my career. 2025: watched Anthropic steal it, with millions of others, to train its model, without compensation. 2026: watched Anthropic sell that model, an AI killing machine, to the US government. Human progress!

This is what I think about when people say we need to give people "AI literacy". How do you AI literacy out of this exactly? This shows how absurd the concept is, this is what the goal of AI is for every worker.

The main things that stuck with me from my GCSE history was how people used to do this to their neighbours in Nazi Germany. My history teacher really hammered it home that this is how a fascist state was upheld & I've always remembered it when I see a hotline for reporting people here. Pure evil.

Their "student experience" was adversely affected by the pandemic emergency? Everyone's fucking life experience was adversely affected, and millions died. The rhetoric of this being a customer service dispute is offensive.
