Striking how often pro-AI arguments always require like 10 different caveats. "What if AI was well regulated, trained on non-stolen data, not made by companies run by sociopaths, was didn't harm the environment, made discoveries that were verified beyond the statements of PR reps? What then?"

when a two star review truly understands your soul better than most five stars. make it the blurb. THE MARIGOLD.
No. Noooo no no, did not like. Characters meh. Didn't care what happened to them. Glacial overwrought pace. Prosey AF. Felt like I was wearing a grey sludge patina over my soul for days while reading. Nearly DNF. Need several dozen hot showers and a good fantasy novel to shake the feeling of being sunk neck deep in neverending dull Scottish muggy moors for a week under a doomsday sky, alone. Not even birds. If soggy ancient grain bread were a novel.

Chinook salmon have recolonised 88% of their historic range on the Klamath River, with more than 13,000 fish passing the old Iron Gate Dam site in 2025, up from 7,700 the year before. Two years after the dams’ removal, it’s going better than anyone predicted. buff.ly/pToC9gB #ShareGoodNewsToo

The question is "Briefly describe your current AI workflow." 

My response is "I look at the available tools and then laugh at the idea that there exist suckass losers who might actually use them. Then I go back to being awesome."

The best apocalypse tales do more than warn-they force us to reassess our place in the food chain. @jrjisprobable.bsky.social's Extinction Journals nails it, reminding that "you're the only one who will ever truly know you were even alive." Read it. If you end up wanting a new suit after, it worked!

Posting a little late, but loved DaCosta’s 28 Years Later! It doesn't just give us zombies; it gives us the banality of evil. Jack O’Connell channels the ghost of Jimmy Savile in a role that is also a terrifying reflection for our own time. My review: hollywoodprogressive.com/literature/d...

Hey it’s a starred Booklist review for DEAD BUT DREAMING OF ELECTRIC SHEEP. “Every aspect of the novel, no matter how initially incomprehensible, is a perfect thread woven into Tremblay’s tale…. The dangers of emerging tech have never been so chilling and, simultaneously, so strangely delightful.”

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters
All you do is take all the sex out, and use little short words, and little dumb ideas, and don't be too scary, and be sure there's a happy ending. Right? Nothing to it. Write down. Right on.

If you do all that, you might even write Jonathan Livingston Seagull and make twenty billion dollars and have every adult in America reading your book.

But you won't have every kid in America reading your book. They will look at it, and they will see straight through it, with their clear, cold, beady little eyes, and they will put it down, and they will go away. Kids will devour vast amounts of garbage (and it is good for them) but they are not like adults: they have not yet learned to eat plastic.

First time reading “Autofac” by Philip K. Dick. No surprise but he diagnosed the problem with AI in 1955.

Kind words from the great Sara Gran (for the UK edition): "A noir dissection of Hollywood for a new generation. A Violent Masterpiece will define the LA novel for a long, long time. Hyperspeed, lush, and deadly, it lives up to the title - I loved this book."
A screengrab from Twitter from Faber Books with an image of the UK edition of A VIOLENT MASTERPIECE and a blurb from the great Sara Gran: "A noir dissection of Hollywood for a new generation.

It's weird, gross, and fascinating how both AI and the people boosting AI are obviously just empty puppets for capital. They're bags into which money flows so that money can make more money. There's no thought or intent there, no arguments to respond to. It's all just money going slosh-slosh.
