Just learned one of the stories I featured in a past MicroVerse spec flash roundup was not written by a human, but rather generated by an LLM. The story won a HUGE cash prize. Goddammit. Removing it from my rec list and website. Seriously, friends, we have to step up our game.

🧵 I DON'T think it's malice, cowardice, or the tendency towards slop that sunk AI's claws into our markets. The problem ISN'T that published fiction doesn't hit hard or doesnt tell good stories.

Some thoughts on this. There's an old saying that springs to mind: the future is already here, but it's unevenly distributed. * awareness of AI tells in fiction. How widespread was this knowledge two years ago? It's still not as widespread as it needs to be within slushpiles

A typically excellent piece by @thomasha.bsky.social. Psychological thriller with simulacra, doppelgangers (William Wilson!), and states & powers desiring (implausibly, it's just fiction, of course) to devour and consume everything. Great stuff. clarkesworldmagazine.com/ha_07_26/

If you're unaware of InkFoundry, it's an archive of free-to read, paid-publication genre short stories with an AO3-style tag system for discoverability. This is the kind of thing I love as a technoprogressive author - exactly what hypertext was meant for. Check it out! inkfoundry.net/writer/xauri...

What if the InkMark trophy was just a glass puzzle? Asking because I am scared of soldering all these pieces together.

this is a purposefully misinformed take in order to get folks to not vaccinate their kids. cause dildo-head* still believes vaccines cause autism (which is not true). autistic folks are better poets, better workers, better lovers, and better baseball players than this guy. *sorry, dildos

Several people have asked me recently why Analog/Asimov's/F&SF/Ellery Queen/Alfred Hitchcock still don't have Submission Grinder listings again, because the communications from SFWA on the subject have been so positive. So I thought it might be worth addressing this briefly.
