I'm going to elaborate on this in as calm and reasonable way as possible, but sincerely: fuck off
the society of authors' feedback form about why you're not renewing your membership. In the write-in box, I have written: "I was shocked and deeply disappointed to see the magazine issue and now charter statement on genAI, which both seem totally full of waffle and apologist compromises.

This is a technology being used to put authors and illustrators out of jobs, using stolen work, and depleting the capacity for critical thought in people who use it. I get that you’re trying to make industry bodies agree to the charter as a ‘small step’ in the right direction. But I fundamentally disagree with the idea of some ‘ethical’ use becoming possible - look at the companies running these things, the severity of its environmental and community harms, the exploitative processes used to build and maintain the databases and server banks required.

As a full-time author who's marginalised and severely disabled, I do also find the idea that genAI companies are somehow making my job more accessible - not looking to undermine and destroy it - insulting and patently absurd.

I thought the SoA was supposed to advocate for authors' rights, and pleading with industry bodies to use this tech, but nicely, feels like a massive concession, and not one I'm able to be at all associated with."

Here's my transparency: I don't use it, I don't allow my Writing students to use it, and I don't trust anyone who does use it. I don't need government regulation to compel me to do the right thing, and neither should you.

Re the Sally Rooney news, I was looking up data on arrests under terrorism legislation the other day, and hadn't quite realised how utterly bonkers the effect of the Palestine Action prohibition had been. That big purple spike is basically all PA-related arrests.

Just remembered that a doctor came over to me and said, we've got some of the test results back and your blood isn't very acidic, and I automatically said, oh, disappointedly, and he said, no, that's a good thing. Still quite like the idea of having acidic blood, though.
