Accurate. This world is changing faster than we can comprehend. I sure wish AI wasn't some for-profit driven enterprise ... just sayin' ...

Go get the job done, Troy. Working people, ordinary folks, need you there.

… talking “white privilege” when no one except the filthy rich can afford to live in this country is the wrong message to send …

Wow! I guess, good luck. I’m a Sox fan … Red Sox

Barry, in the U.S. corporations are successfully flattening the executive level and eliminating hiring of junior employees through AI. It is happening. And it’s already devastating lives.

My web searches tonight ... ... what happens to a human body when hanged? ... how would Livor Mortis be impacted by lengthy hanging? ... determining the cause of death ... how does cold storage affect time-of-death calculation? etc. #WritingCommunity

Jigger Campground in the White Mountains off the Kancamagus Highway makes for quality writing time, 1,000 words, if you let it. #WritingCommunity

... that's okay, as your comment murdered me effectively enough already, in an embarrassing way. ;-) ...

... I literally had the GIF reaction when I read that headline ...

... I keep spelling it 'mutiliated' no matter how many times I write it. Someone please shoot me ... #WritingCommunity

Pro tip: if you have leftover ingredients from the large pan of lasagna you made, you can do it stovetop in 5 minutes and it might be better than baked. #FoodSky

... something fishy is going on ...

We are seeing solid science backing this already. The perceived value of art with the label "Created with AI" drops dramatically vs human made art. I forget the exact number but something like an 80% drop.

... such an interesting development ...

Gosh darn you. You go to heck. You go to heck and you die. Looks tasty.

... or ... and hear me out here ... all of us could just throw all that shit in the recycle bin every time ...

Me, talking to other writers: How I see Myself (L): "Figure it out yet, Junior?" How They see Me (R): "You dead yet, old man?" #WritingCommunity I am convinced that writers must earn every step of the road the hard way, and no one can tell them otherwise. I tip my hat to those who continue.

Great town, a short ride down the road from me in Melrose. I took some great shots of sunset at Halibut Point. Welcome to your new life. :-)

The author says he entered a kind of a dream state while writing it. You will find that same place reading it. Have fun.

No. The closest I’ve heard to that is the reference for Strider/Aragorn as “long shanks.” My dad was an Iowa farmer and sportsman. They have a ranch. One horse. I’ve still never heard that reference.

Kind of a dream come true for me to see Bruce and Dave onstage together singing. Wow.

Never However ... When I had spent years writing my MG stories and grown accustomed to walking around coming up with new stories, an idea popped in my head for a new story and I quickly recognized it as a cool idea that was definitely adult, not MG. I subsequently wrote my first novel. Good luck

... that is quite the stack of work ...

Two detectives. A 49 yo man who lost his daughter, and a 26 yo woman who lost her dad. One is Ai. Both believe the other is human. One created the other to fill their loss. Together, they’ll search for the missing children, but when one turns up dead the clock is ticking.
