Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

This hits the core of GenAI - it enables greed, makes it popular even. "I want everything, but I don't want to pay for it. I want what you made, what you could make, but I won't give you money. I won't even give you appreciation for your craft. I made this. I want it all for me." Gold coated rot.

It blows my mind when people’s defence of using gen AI is, ‘Well, if I need a picture, what do you suggest I do? I don’t have time to learn to draw!’ The same thing you did four years ago, you microwaved fruit loop.

Discoverability for new SFF books seems way down these days, especially outside of bestsellers and certain subgenres. I'm noticing this as both a reader and a writer. Great stuff is in danger of sinking without a trace. Please post about new/recent books you love or are excited for!!! I'll start:

I am not first and will be far from the last to say this: I have purchased so many books because I saw them recommended or publicized here on bsky. I cannot urge you all enough to KEEP TALKING ABOUT BOOKS. I know it's easier to talk up someone else's book, but this also means you, the shy author.
