I'm a bit late, but Wonder Man was good! It's funny how superhero shows are much better without the superhero stuff. (The better half of Loki, The better half of Wanda, Lanterns, etc...)

The obvious conclusion (to me): if you have proprietary research & you upload it into the Plagiarism Nexus, it's not YOUR proprietary research anymore. Behave accordingly.

All these AI email scams are copying other people's stuff and mishmashing it to fit your book. My question is who's stuff? Seriously. WHO WRITES LIKE THAT? It's soooo cringy. There is at least one person out there going "Whoa. This looks like I wrote it" and I someone needs to talk to them.

This is a good chunk of the Veil Nebula (C33), also the place where kaijus break into our universe.

I am bored… I will mail a signed copy of my latest book, The Many, to the first person (anywhere I’m allowed to mail stuff) to reply with a fresh pic (with proof of the time it was taken) of a cat with a makeshift hat next to an overripe banana. I say again, you have to take the picture now.

So yeah, this Quebecois Haitian dude won a bunch of prizes and then was accused of using AI to write the hot book… Everyone, me included, couldn’t help noticing that this was a black dude, from Haiti, winning a French prize, and let’s be honest, that is really why he was accused. Now… 1/2

This is fascinating. This is an adult, speaking in public. In any other time, no one would outlive the constant laughing and finger pointing for saying stuff like that.

Important news for you: 1. You're going to @canconsffh.bsky.social this October, it's been decided. 2. You're coming to Hive Mind Game Night! 3. You want to see the creepy wooden tiger swing thing. 4. There is non-zero probability you'll be swallowed by a haunted painting at the hotel.

At some point you figure out that "being apolitical" in the public arts always means getting on your knees for the rich, the bigots, the fascists and authoritarians. It never means anything else, and those people are somehow never obligated to set their own politics aside on behalf of anyone else.

Why do the AI scam emails summarize my book for me? Imagine they were targeting restaurants instead. "Your pizza contains sauce and cheese, and sometimes, but not always pepperoni. I specialize in connecting eaters with unique and interesting food, like pizza with cheese."
