They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Everyone's upset because Lewis is on record saying Aslan is written to literally be Jesus (and I guess therefore a dude) but those of us who have studied literary criticism know about a little thing called the "death of the author" open your heart to the good news that CS Lewis died for your sins

"enlarged to show texture" yeah, yeah, sure. texture really boosts the sales. everybody's crazy for texture.

Re: Usain Bolt Robot There are a lot of people that seem to be under the impression that creating something that can do something "more" than a human is a good in and of itself. That "running fast" is something that needs doing, and not something that is meaningful when humans do it

Unions are a great way to help developers, but how can regular fans help? Just remember the one-two punch! 1. Support games developed by unionized devs! (An easy way to find out is to look up Studio+Union) 3. Circulate pro-union material (like this post) and keep the conversation alive!

I take back everything I've said, some people still know how to sell books

The cover of a book named C.O.W. Creatures of War by Thomax Green. Done in vaguely airbrushed, watercolor pastel of old scifi style, it depicts a woman in a futuristic yet revealing space suit, and another woman, wielding a laser pistol, in a similar suit, with a cow head and six breasts
