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.”

The real issue here is that Magician's Nephew is absolutely not the entrance point to the world despite what Lewis's kid has to say about it

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

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

Most of the time small talk is just code for "we are both humans experiencing a shared reality and it is good to acknowledge that with one another and reinforce mutual empathy" but if it goes on longer than three minutes I'm looking for the exits
