Our entire economy is being artificially propped up by astrology for men: AI, crypto, sports betting, and prediction markets. It's an economy shaped entirely by male insecurity and lack of impulse control, and we'll all pay the price.

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.”

personally I think we should just take the ai doomers at their word and shut it down if they’re telling the truth, well, good thing we shut it down. If they’re exaggerating, well, they shouldn’t have done that

"the raw data of a novel" 🙃 The way AI evangelists talk about art is truly alien to me. (From a comment left on an article of mine.)

If you put in the raw data that is needed to write this novel and all the ideas are yours what is wrong with having AI write it? All the foundation was yours. Maybe you're not that great of a writer, but hey you can sure craft a plot and storyline, build characters and design your own world. Yet the problem comes in putting it all together. Isn't that writers use to do before AI was hire GHOST writers to finish a manuscript?

What I read in August 2026 - THE EDGE OF SPACE-TIME, which was absolutely terrific & blew my mind a few times. (Also I read OPERATION BOUNCE HOUSE and SPOILED MILK. Both were great fun.) <3

Hardcover of Edge of Space-Time by Chanda Prescod-Weinstein.

“Be Strong enough to be gentle.” Peter Cullen tells the story of how his brother inspired the voice he would use to play Optimus Prime. It’s a simple yet poignant quote that sums up why Optimus and Peter are so beloved. Til All Are One. 💔

Lot of right wing posts seem to insist that if their kids have different views than they do, another adult (they usually blame teachers or librarians) must be pushing it on them. This both misunderstands how education works and is a view that deprives kids of any agency over their own.

There’s an aggressively paid for influence op going on right now to defend AI slop as art and protected speech across platforms. AI execs realize they have a problem and don’t wanna get Marie Antoinette’d. The free ChatGPT trip is the tip of the iceberg. First person to nail it down gets a Pulitzer.

The “best” thing about genAI (the quotes are doing heavy work here) is that it’s really lowered the bar on getting into hand-made art. Literally anything you make is better than ai. There’s never been a better time to throw away your fear and start learning that craft you’ve always wanted to learn.

People keep using the "can't put a genie back in the bottle" metaphor for "AI", even though in the stories they always get back in and current "AI" is more of a "we're spending trillions of dollars and the energy output of a continent trying to keep this bastard out of the bottle" situation
