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

Sam Altman said people are just gonna have to die in order to implement AI. In the very same week, Anthropic claimed it’s a human rights violation to be mean to the computer. These people need to be held accountable. They think lines of code are a person with rights but living people are debris.

I just did the math, and for this work week alone I’ll make at least 18 hrs of overtime. I’m around 50 hrs right now, Sat through Weds. I’ve still got tomorrow. If they put me on for Friday it’s probably over 24 hrs of overtime just from this work week. Great for my paycheck but not for meeeeee

Day 9 of 10 (possibly 12)… god, I swear working through Christmas season wasn’t as bad as this 10-day stretch. I’m fucking exhausted. My brain is F R I E D and I still have to go do it again tomorrow, possibly Friday, and definitely Saturday before I have a day I KNOW I’m off. jfc…

Happy October 🧡🖤 [ #cuteart #artshop #halloween ]

An art print of a stylized illustration of a long black cat, standing with its back arched & tail fluffed up in fear. It’s got huge yellow eyes, one of which has a tear in it. The background is an orange pattern with doodles of spooky things like stars, bats, skulls, etc.

working on a couple personal comics I’m not sure I’ll post, so here’s a couple of me-frames I liked, since I don’t really post art on this account anymore

A sketch of a short-haired, masculine-ish nonbinary person wearing glasses, a crop top, black shorts, and a backpack. They are waving a pride flag and grinning.

A sketch of a masculine-presenting nonbinary person with short hair and glasses. They are sitting crisscross holding their ankles, smiling at the camera. They are wearing a big poncho and arm wraps. A staff with a hooked end sits behind them, and a notebook sits in front of them. A word bubble says “Thanks for reading about my life!”

Illustration of a hydra like creature that is a hand with too many fingers. Pencils are piercing through its body. Text says “ death to ai” “ kill it with human hands”

There's still time to enjoy this year's crop of globemallows (Sphaeralcea sp.). Photo taken at Mesa del Sol in Albuquerque, on September 17, 2026. #nature #naturephotography #flowers #wildflowers

A spike of flowers, plus flower buds, on a fuzzy pale green stalk. Each open flower has five petals that are mostly bright orange, but green at their bases. The central part looks a bit like a cauliflower stalk, only with a yellow head. The bud calyces are the same pale green as the main stalk. A closer look shows drops of rainwater (despite the photo being taken in full sun), and even a few tiny ants. The blurred-out background for the image is mostly the same pale green as the central stalk.

on an additional note, I hate how gimmicky everything the Mango does or renames has been. If you’re going to rename a Great Lake, maybe at least name it after some historical figure? Or a region? But just… “America.” Lake America. Lame.

Apple Maps has also changed Lake Ontario to Lake America, in concession to the related presidential executive order. Just a reminder that you can report such an issue as incorrect and submit it for Apple’s consideration :)

Separating the art from the artist with JK Rowling is like separating the girl scout cookies from the girl scouts. Your opinion on the cookies is irrelevant, their purpose is to fund scouting. Which is good! But if every cent funded hate groups, it'd be bad, even if the cookies were yummy as hell
