Brianna Jett's debut, Under a Carnivore Sky, is powerful. Definitely one that's going to stay with me for a long time. Pick up you copy on May 12. #amreading #booksky @triadaus.bsky.social @pagestreetya

Even if you used AI to "write" a story and you got someone to publish it unawares, what exactly do you think that proves? This is no way an invitation, but unless it's replicable, and consistent, you're just one unlikely outlier—and it's the hollowest of victories, at that.

@victoriastrauss.com Is there a sample model contract on the site for magazine / online publication of short stories? I couldn't find one. Just wondering how legit one was I was offered (and turned down since it seemed to stink) after seeing all these bad deals you're posting about.

Oh. My. God. I can't even right now.

So excited to start messing with this. Heard great things. So got it as a little prezzie for when I'm done with this next #VCFA packet work. #amwriting

I'm re-re-posting this because it's such a good essay. "...writers should also never forget these two secrets of using LLMs to help your writing: - First drafts are where the thinking begins. - If you become dependent upon a tool, that tool can be taken away."

It appears as though SFWA has had a very quick change of heart and is now back on the right side of this. Shouldn't have happened in the first place. New Nebula Awards eligibility rules for generated text are now:

Previous Text:

“Works that are wholly written using generative large language model (LLM) tools are not eligible.”

New Text:

“Works that are written, either wholly or partially, by generative large language model (LLM) tools are not eligible.”

-and-

Previous Text:

“Works that used LLMs at any point during the writing process must disclose this upon acceptance of the nomination, and the nature of the technology’s use will be made clear to voters on the final ballot”

New Text:

“Works that used LLMs at any point during the writing process must disclose this upon acceptance of the nomination, and those works will be disqualified.”
