They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

You know when public attention can reverse a prosecutorial decision like this you almost get the sense that the decision to shrug it off in the first place was not based on an assessment of the quality of the evidence so much as an assessment of the seriousness of the crime.

I like that in becoming a nazi, you get glowing coverage as a brave iconoclast, and then when you stop being a nazi, you’re get glowing coverage as a brave dissident. Money coming and going. Only way you lose is having normal opinions like “racism bad” bsky.app/profile/trac...

Saw a down-and-out in Seattle last night. His sign said not "I need food" or "I need a job" but "I need the ability to tell a moral and ethical story about how we live together in this moment". What could this mean?

The Substance (2024) - beautifully shot effective body horror that turns the satire up to 11 in the last 20 minutes. Some great use of themes of pressures on women re: body image, male gaze, aging, & then literally splashing blood all over the concept of sex as a commodity. #HorrorMovieMicroReview

🚨 BREAKING: In a major loss for voters, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to allow the Trump administration to initiate voter roll purges using a flawed database involving Americans' private data. The ruling will disproportionately impact naturalized citizens who've been wrongly flagged in the system.

We are at the break glass moment on the Democratic Party and its treatment of transgender people, and it is my opinion that if we don’t act now and loudly demand to be heard, we will suffer the consequences of their shift.

In this instance "they" are fascists & "we" are centrist capitalists who are okay with exploitative coercion of workers if it means they can still be rich.

Oh for gods sake. First, while it’s true that Florida has the highest ACA enrollment in the country, no, there are not "5 x more people enrolled in Obamacare in Florida than live in the state." Around 19% of the total population is enrolled, which is high but hardly over 100%. 1/5th =/= 5x.

Because they have not come for you (yet) does not mean they have failed. Fascism is not an equally distributed political project of harm(s). It is a continuous and discontinuous political project unfolding and situational political violences of all sorts. And what it leaves in place after matters.

Annihilation (2018) - I recently finished the 2014 novel (loved it) & then realized the Natalie Portman movie I had heard of was loosely based on it. Doesn't hit the Jeff VanderMeer vibe the way I hoped. Tried to explain too much, deviated too much from the book, too long. #HorrorMovieMicroReview

Locking people up for using drugs will never make sense to me. The people I've known who've used drugs, in spite of the threat of severe consequences, did so bc they are not/were not okay. Locking people in dungeons traumatizes them further and makes these patterns even harder to break.

Trump's DOJ has asked a federal court to strip community integration protections from certain legal regulations — a move that would resolve a lawsuit but also undermine decades of precedent that has helped keep disabled people out of institutions.

Good writing in my view - while some commentary on here has framed Sheeran's justification as a demonstration of the hollowness of "neutrality", as a professional moral philosopher it is also what we in the business refer to as a "lie" and it may be helpful to refer to it as such

A lot of people really have no idea what's coming with the energy crisis in the coming months. A lot of the crisis from the start of the war were postponed but those tricks can no longer work. We're about to see the worst energy crisis in 50 years.

Screenshot of an X post by The Hormuz Letter (@HormuzLetter) reporting breaking news about Saudi oil exports.
The post reads:
"BREAKING: Saudi Arabia has informed its European customers that late-September crude oil cargoes will be cancelled, due to the East-West pipeline being shut after last week's attacks and Yemen's Houthis taking over the entire Red Sea coast, per three sources to Reuters.
Yanbu had five to seven days of crude stocks left for export when the East-West line went down, per industry sources on Saturday, and cancelling late-September cargoes means Riyadh does not expect the line back before they run out. Europe has been taking Saudi crude through Yanbu because Hormuz has been closed since spring. On top of the pipeline, the Houthis appear to have struck the YASREF refinery at that same port this morning."
