Once again, she is disappointed in the concepts of “rainy day” and “time” especially “it isnt lunch time”

More than two dozen workers at three major publishing houses—HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, and Hachette—tell WIRED that LLMs are being used for publicity, cover art, back cover copy, and emails, as some execs push junior staff to champion the tech. Read the full story: buff.ly/p0ymGmN

Anyway, I shared all this at the dinner table and they asked if it was therapeutic. I realized it had been. I had to do so much work to make this person who loomed over my childhood someone good. Maybe it is a good exercise? Like, what would it take to make your family villain a likable character?

Despite being a huge asshole, this person was a bad ass, and interesting and funny. That made the hatred hurt more, when it still mattered to me. So I made my version all the positives they had plus compassionate and generous (though not nice, that would be too far). People love that character.

At a dinner, someone asked me if I wrote characters based on real people. The first answer I thought of was an adult family member who openly hated me as a child.

Ooooooof…. When I was in my chair, a guy pushed me out of a fucking store. I guess he thought I was waiting to leave??? Rolled me out to the sidewalk. I tried to grab my wheels to stop him, hurt my hand, and he kept pushing then said YOU’RE WELCOME and sauntered off I thought I was being kidnapped

Sadly, MRM also owns and has been steadily torching the credibility of les grandes dames Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine (AHMM) and Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine (EQMM). If you write short stories, this thread is an excellent primer on your rights wrt magazine publication. #WritingCommunity

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

A USGS-registered magnitude-7.7 earthquake has struck southern Panama. While still very early, this is likely to be a very impactful event for the country. Panama City, despite being far from the epicenter, has reported notable shaking.

When I was on my third draft or so, I asked a friend of a friend who was working on ML whether he would turn off a system if he thought it had become conscious, and he was horrified at the suggestion. But I'm guessing most of the world didn't know these people thought that way.
