speaking of AI, I asked that it be explicitly placed in my child's IEP that it never be offered to him by a well-meaning person who thinks it could be an assistance aid. i explained the cognitive impacts & how they work against his stated IEP goals. it is verboten.

Bsky disclaimer: still anti-AI but i do recognize this humorously and sympathetically bc the self reviews suck so hard and the people reading those tend to respond to very specific structure antithetical to my own writing style. (my recognition of this does not mean I will use AI for this.)

It’s like telling someone whose neighborhood Robert Moses is about to bulldoze that the Interstate Highway System will boost GDP and in the long run lead to more connection in America. I’m happy for y’all but that’s my house they’re about to knock down, etc

Generally speaking I do need AI boosters to understand that I’ve lost my career and future plans entirely to AI-based cost cutting. so any time you’re talking about tech you have to understand people whose livelihoods were destroyed by a thing they didn’t choose to adopt they’re gonna be prickly lol

Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Heck yeah.
Human-made over 5 years

No AI has been used to generate any code or content in or about the game, and never will be. Slow Roads has been a labour of love since the project began in 2021, and has been built with a decade of experience in 3D graphics and creative software development. Textures are hand-drawn, sounds are recorded locally, and all systems are designed and engineered specifically for the unique context of the game. This is a solo-developed project that I take great care over, and I believe AI simply doesn't belong in creative projects like these.

Please note that procedural generation is not a form of generative AI; the procedures used to generate the world in the game are mathematical functions that have been derived and defined by hand, with direct creative intent.

On July 26, 2023, I (along with a co-defendant) was sued for defamation. The case was dismissed for delay on June 10, 2026, as the Plaintiff had not set the matter down for trial within the necessary time. 
The Canadian writing scene is a small group, and it has been a long, often isolating process, as I kept this from family, friends, and fellow writers. I do want to thank the very tight group that knew and put up with me during all this. I also want to thank my lawyer, who steered this entire process, allowing me to continue writing. 
I worried this lawsuit would irreparably change me, but I come out the other side still myself. I will continue standing up for what I believe is right and will not be afraid to raise my voice. With that said, I am happy to finally put this behind me. As ever, thank you for your support.

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.”

funny to me that last year taylor lorenz was privately trying to suggest i was being funded by peter thiel after we got into an argument over her shitty takes, and now she’s literally running cover for him saying being evil is good. quite a journey she’s on.
Taylor Lorenz: "Listening to this whole interview and these comments in context you see he is actually making a pretty nuanced point. You can criticize him all u want but taking clips out of context to manufacture outrage is so lame— critique what he actually said!"

A staircase leads upward in a dimly lit space, with stone steps and walls. Arched windows and columns are visible on either side, creating a gothic architectural style. A doorway at the top of the stairs is partially illuminated, while the background remains dark.

I asked this over on my Facebook, and it took a lot of clarity and bravery to ask it, so I thought I would ask it here. This really upsets me and I don't know what to do.

A lot of white people who are friends on my Facebook, all of whom I care for, are friends with my abusers - also protectors of fascists. Most egregiously:

• Jennifer Brozek
• Erik Scott de Bie
• Brandon Crilly
• Gini Koch
• Aaron Rosenberg
• Jason Sanford
• Jeri "Red" Shepherd

Should I defriend every white person who remains associated? Is there some element I'm missing there? Please help me to understand / decide, because this has been bothering me for a while. (edited)
