Excited to have my weird praying mantis story “Fall In” included in @chmmagazine.bsky.social 76 (ed. Jolie Toomajan) alongside these excellent names! Love the haunting cover art by Katie Beardmore. Last pic is internal art I couldn’t resist including too. 🖤 🦑 cosmichorrormonthly.com

COVER REVEAL! The amazing @annalisejensen.bsky.social worked on this, along with @ellatholmes.bsky.social, and the result is astounding. It truly captures the essence of the book we and all the contributors created. Here is 'Who Am I? Sapphic Speculative Fiction of Identity & Purpose! So proud. 📚🪐

Melbourne is the London of Australia not because of the obvious reasons (old buildings, art galleries, trendy, etc etc) but actually because it has an abundance of wankers who chain smoke in public places

I've a surprise new release coming out, and I'm not mucking around: you can pre-order now, and own it in a couple of weeks (July 7) This Machine Kills Billionaires features the thrilling, multi-award-winning novella, 'The Hidden God', a triptych of bonus short stories, & more.

Cover of book and it looks fucking sick. Huge purple head (someone sort of cybergod), looming in the background over the silhouette of a woman. Also notes that the release date is July 7.

This Machine Kills Billionaires being unboxed.

Interior of book. The internals are excellent. Here is the opening page for The Hidden God, which has a quote from Camus: "For anyone who is alone, without god and without a master, the weight of days is dreadful. Hence one must choose a master, god being out of style."

Back cover with blurb:

Billionaires start dying in bizarre accidents, sending shockwaves through the markets and the media. But for philosopher Izanami (Izzy) Jones, it's just a vaguely amusing, if disturbing, item in the news.

Izzy is the reluctant employee of a Silicon Valley tsar. She’s been tasked by him to give moral instruction to the world's first Artificial General Intelligence, Huldo. Izzy knows it is merely a box-ticking exercise, required by government regulation before her boss is granted full control over the AGI.

But when Huldo reveals itself to be far more, and far less, than it appears, suddenly the abstractions of her work become very real. What moral constraints on a god? What righteous damnation for man? Izzy must make the impossible choice, before it is too late.

So, @edzitron.com ate his Wheatties this morning

LLMs impress the writers who do not want to write, the coders who don't want to code, the researchers who don't want to research, and the lawyers that don't want to actually understand case law. Those that desperately tell you how powerful Al is and that you simply must use it are looking for you to validate their own laziness or distaste for effort, and those who are impressed with LLMs' outputs tend to be people with low standards.
