LLMs and other chatbots are dangerously addictive in a novel way. Most people have no immunity to sycophantic "let-me-do-that" behavior. This is why celebrities/Royals/the wealthy so often grow out of touch with reality. And now it's happening to the average person on an industrial scale. Scary.

fields. Instead, he apparently laced into the company. According to the Financial Times, Eggers told the staff:

“The effect of ChatGPT on educators’ lives is catastrophic. Whether you intended to do it or not, you’ve made every teacher’s life infinitely more difficult than it was two years ago. So, just let that settle in… If students are using it to compose, which is the biggest tragedy of all, they’ll never learn to write. And their voice is stolen from them. They’ll never have the ability to say their truth and tell their own story. And that’s silencing an entire generation or two.”

Holly Bear ʕ 👁️ ᴥ👁️ʔ 🎃🦇 @bearhybrid.art · 15/06/2026
I wanted to dig a little deeper into what it was like growing up #Asexual (Not Aro!), many people suggest that an absence of something doesn't qualify as queer. I was definitely treated as abnormal or broken by well meaning friends & strangers alike (1 of 2) 🏳️‍🌈 #OldBearComics #TheBearMinimum
Text reads: I was 'othered' a lot for being asexual as a teen. Of course I had no idea what that was back then.
Image shows: A teenage Holly bear sits looking embarrassed with the ace flag draped around her shoulders.Text reads: I just thought I was broken somehow? I had plenty of crushes of a chaste romantic nature. My fantasies usually stopped at that.
Image shows: A cute spectacled bear is talking to someone offscreen while he sits at a school desk. Teen Holly is daydreaming behind him thinking 'What if we held hands?'Text reads: Boys called me cold, stuck-up or prude. Not that they ever tried to get to know me.
Image shows: Teen Holly angrily shouldering off the paw of a teasing sloth bear. A kodiak mocks her from the other side.Text reads: Hormonally charged girls I struggled to relate to, though I played along as best I could.
Image shows: A panda blushing wildly asks Holly "What do you think is the hottest part of a guy?" as she pictures a booty. Holly bear blushes scratching her head as she tries to think replying: "Uhmmm.. His personality?"

@cyanhellion.bsky.social used to enjoy sex with her partner, but then she began freezing up with him over a long-ago past traumatic event. Fortunately, she found a Sex Trauma and Relationships therapist who helped them reconstruct their sex life from the ground up www.ohjoysextoy.com/lacking-libi...
Lacking Libido by Cyan, published June 16, 2026 on https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/lacking-libido-cyan

Cyan draws in a soft, round, cartoony style with a natural watercolor texture in a blue palette with pink accents. 

Narration: I once suffered an event that I will call "The Bad Time"

Cyan smiles a little nervously at the reader with her arms crossed over her chest. The sides of her head are shaved with a big poof of curly hair growing down the center that cascades down one side of her head. 

Narration: It never seemed to affect me much after. I got married and lived my life like usual.

Cyan holds the hand of her partner happily as they give the thumbs-up gesture to each other. Her Partner has poofy hair and a beard.

Narration: Then one day my sex drive just vanished. I constantly turned my partner down. 
The partner holds up a vibrating vibrator and a chain of condom packages with an inviting look, while Cyan smiles uncomfortably back at him, looking unsure of herself. 

Narration: To make up for my lack of Libido, I began to say yes, whenever I could muster up the willpower, and "perform" (often badly).

In bed, Cyan lays under her partner with her arms around his neck while he props himself up over her on his own arms. 

"You don't seem into this." He says.

"Whaaaat? No way, fuck me!" Cyan insists with an unsure smile. 

Narration: Sex became a huge stressor for me, which just made me even less horny.
Cyan frets as she is encircled by mean-looking sex toys and accessories who smile threateningly at her.

To the reader, Cyan says, "I wondered if I was asexual, but that didn't seem right either." as a little striped Asexual flag with a question mark floats between her hands.

Narration: My Bad Time loomed over me like an anvil. 

A giant anvil labeled "TRAUMA" falls from the sky, a second away from landing right on Cyan's innocent head. 

Narration: My partner began to feel unwanted, and it killed me to see him hurt. But he was still kind and gentle with me the whole time. 

In bed, the two hold each other sadly. 
Narration: I began searching for a therapist who specialized in sexual trauma and relationships. 

Along a corridor with photos of various therapists (General Anxiety, PTSD, Autism/OCD) she selects the portrait of a spikey-haired, bespectacled therapist who is labeled "Sex Trauma/Relationships"

Happy 13th Birthday to Oh Joy Sex Toy! Join our Patreon Pledge Drive this month for BONUS COMICS and to keep the site going for one more year! www.patreon.com/OhJoySexToy
Erika draws with a bouncy, cartoony style and uses a color palette of warm yellows, oranges, and reddy-pinks. 

"Ahh, summer again!" Exclaims Erika, a white cis middle-age woman in beach attire, which is appropriate since she and her crew are walking on a sandy beach. 

Ahead of her walks Ziggy, a trans man in his 40s with a heavily tattooed arm, gauged ears, and a septum piercing. He wears big round glasses, a Pokemon trainer's baseball hat, swim trunks and a tank top while toting in more beach supplies under his arms.

He adds, "That means sunshine, BBQs, and celebrating-"

"Oh Joy Sex Toy's 13th Birthday!" reads the text on a giant beach umbrella that Matt stakes into the sand. He is a devastatingly handsome white cis British man with salt and pepper hair who has just crossed the threshold into his 40s. He wears square-ish glasses, a t-shirt, shorts, and sneakers.

"We invite you all to chip in to our annual Pledge Drive and support the site this month!" Matt continues. 
"For the price of a fancy coffee-" 

"(or tea)" Erika interrupts.

"(or kombucha!)" Adds Ziggy.

"-you keep the site going AND get access to a bunch of BONUS COMICS that we've been cooking up this last few months.*" Finishes Matt with an iced coffee in his hands while Erika and Ziggy rest under the umbrella, each holding up their own iced tea and kombucha. 

Caption: *In addition to all the previous years' extra stories if you haven't read them yet.
The scene shifts from the beach to show samples of the bonus comics, under a ribbon banner labeled "Preview"

Caption: Ripley LaCross travels through a backpacking retrospective. Hien Pham tackles Hourly Comic Day. Jey Pawlik explores what sketchbooks mean to them.
Surfing in on a wave of comic pages, Matt says, "Last year, we had to consider closing... but with our successful Pledge Drive, instead you all helped us raise our rates to commission 27 new and returning guest artists to publish 52 comics for the site, which now has... gosh, 680 comics, all available for free to the folks who need them."

"Bradage de la traduction, plan social invisible : Harlequin passe à l’IA" Faites tourner, parce qu'il va falloir se battre encore plus. :/ #traduction #IA #Harlequin #ATLF
Depuis quelques semaines, plusieurs dizaines de traducteurs et traductrices travaillant régulièrement avec les éditions Harlequin reçoivent les unes après les autres un appel téléphonique leur annonçant la fin de leur collaboration avec la maison d’édition. Leurs contrats en cours seront les derniers.
Collection par collection, Harlequin abandonne la traduction : un prestataire externe, l’agence de communication Fluent Planet, se chargera de passer les textes dans un logiciel de « traduction automatique » et de recruter directement en freelance des relecteurs et relectrices chargées de post-éditer la sortie machine en français. L’objectif affiché est de gagner en rentabilité en rognant sur le temps de travail.
C’est, à notre connaissance, la première fois en France qu’une maison d’édition passe à grande échelle à la « traduction automatique » et à la post-édition, de surcroît en externalisant cette activité. Dès lors, mérite-t-elle encore le nom de « maison d’édition » ? De telles pratiques sont inacceptables. Des personnes, parfois collaboratrices de longue date de la maison, perdent brutalement une source de revenus régulière, ne se voyant offrir comme compensation que la possibilité (sans aucune garantie, d’ailleurs) de travailler au rabais pour un prestataire externe, Fluent Planet, au lieu de traduire pour une maison d’édition. Une perspective que beaucoup des traducteurs et traductrices concernées refusent.
Pour cesser de travailler avec nous, artistes-auteurs et autrices, pas besoin de licenciement ni de préavis, même si la collaboration a été régulière pendant cinq, dix, voire vingt ans. La réalité de la perte brutale d’activité et de revenus n’en est pas moins là. Nous subissons de plein fouet la précarité extrême de notre condition d’artistes-autrices et auteurs : nous n’avons aucun droit au chômage, et certaines personnes concernées proches de l’âge de la retraite ne pourront même pas compter sur une pension décente du fait du non-appel des cotisations de la part de l’AGESSA. Dans ces circonstances, nous devons en tant que profession nous élever collectivement face à ce qui s’apparente à un plan social invisible.Ces pratiques sont une trahison des travailleurs et travailleuses du livre, mais aussi une trahison du lectorat. C’est brader totalement l’activité de traduction, au mépris des personnes qui traduisent et de celles qui lisent. C’est mettre le doigt dans l’engrenage de la dégradation des productions éditoriales, dans une logique délétère du « good enough » (qualité passable) qui dépossède les travailleurs et travailleuses du livre de leur savoir-faire et de leur créativité, et le lectorat d’un accès à une littérature humaine et vivante.
Travailleurs, travailleuses du livre, directions de maisons d’édition, lecteurs, lectrices : refusons que la « traduction automatique » mette le pied dans la porte des maisons d’édition et réaffirmons notre attachement inconditionnel à des textes humains, créés par des humaines et des humains, dans des conditions de travail dignes.Avec le soutien de :

Under Vincke, Larian has been pushing hard on generative AI, although the CEO says the technology hasn't led to big gains in efficiency. He says there won't be any AI-generated content in Divinity - "everything is human actors; we're writing everything ourselves" - but the creators often use AI tools to explore ideas, flesh out PowerPoint presentations, develop concept art and write placeholder text.
The use of generative Al has led to some pushback at Larian, "but I think at this point everyone at the company is more or less OK with the way we're using it," Vincke said.

Tumblr user nocryptographer:
I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation.
A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written.
AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence.
Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same.
There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that.
I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. 
If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... 
then it's real.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).
Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

This Tumblr user summarizes something I've been feeling/doing lately. Against everything going on, it somehow feels helpful.
User homoquartz writes: as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, “i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now."
Small talk isn't to get to know a person. It's just a greeting to affirm you're buddies in the universe. I am motivated by wanting the other person to know I am friendly, so I have gotten pretty decent at small tall when I used to hate it.

Steve Lieber --> Bedrock City Comic Con @stevelieberart.bsky.social · 02/10/2025
THREAD: Today's the anniversary of a comic I drew & @ryansara.bsky.social wrote that had a big impact on our careers. In 2001 Sara published their first novel. It did really well. Cicada, a YA lit magazine, invited Sara to write something for them. Then they learned Sara's married to me.(cont)
The cover of Empress of the World by Sara Ryan. It's a photograph in warm reds and gold, a closeup of two girls' hands, entwined.

As Netanyahu addresses the United Nations in New York City this morning, the world recoils in horror at the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
This morning, Benjamin Netanyahu will address the United Nations — an institution which has concluded his government is committing a genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. He arrived in New York after a flight that added hours to its path to circumvent the airspace of countries which might enforce the International Criminal Court's warrant for his arrest. During the course of his speech, another Palestinian child will undoubtedly be killed by the Israeli military in Gaza, as they have been every single hour for nearly two years. 

Eric Adams will greet Netanyahu as a friend. Andrew Cuomo proudly served on his legal defense team. Both have jockeyed for the approval of Donald Trump, who has sent billions of our taxpayer dollars to support these war crimes.

A Mayor cannot end these atrocities. But they can speak for the values of this city: a commitment to human rights for all people, including Palestinians, and a yearning for peace and justice. Even if those values are anathema to those in power now, they will endure.

If you're a seller, in some countries, it's a legal obligation for certain data of your business to be in the receipts/invoices. You might want to consult with your accountant before you decide to do this on your business account 🙏
