Just to add onto this, even if they had gone this route, it still wouldn't be ethical. Think about who is doing all that data training - for basically no money. Think about the data centers that are processing all that data - and dumping pollution into local communities.

It's Banned Books Week. My fellow librarians, listen carefully: your book displays should be almost exclusively writers who are alive. Yes, I know classic literature is also being banned, but most of those authors are dead. They aren't suffering financially from bans and challenges.

Please remember that for every VE Schwab and Stephen King, there are a lot of banned Black, queer, and POC writers you've never heard of, to whom it is maybe not a badge of honor but a denial of their voice. Being banned is not a marketing opportunity, unless one is already rich.

Wake up, let dogs out, cuddle with 5yo, squint at email notifications and then slowly realize...oh snap, a short story acceptance?! So coffee with a little celebration dance this morning.

This whole thread. None of the promises publishing made in 2020 came to pass. Yes, they gave a handful more Black authors deals, only to shrink that number even more afterward and fail to promote them so they could shrug and go "See? No interest!" And that's not even getting into editorial.

Very grateful to see such a kind review and a recommendation for this bleak/weird/ugly story: “Lightspeed’s June issue kicks off in grand style with ‘Ghost in the Tank’ … It’s a vividly told story about a world, and a relationship where every good moment feels stolen, broken, and, eventually, lost.”

George Saunders’ Lincoln in the Bardo is a book with a unique prose style that asks a lot of the reader, but it also teaches you how to read it within about 25 pages. I have absolutely no respect for people who won’t even fucking try.

Eugenia has already said here everything I was going to say about this. One thing I will add is that the lasting thing I gained following this project was a deep hatred for AI slop and LLMs as anyone who has heard me speak on ths subject since knows. I saw how the sausage was made and rejected it.
