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 Garbage Ape bounces down the street on a night, holding two garbage cans in his outstretched arms. A full moon is in the sky behind him, and the moon has the ape's face. A group of cats rejoices at the ape's approach. Two owls watch from a nearby tree, and one says "It's a rare Garbage Ape moon."

Microsoft is planning to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's final sign-off, but it needs more voices. Sign here: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

Heathcliff and the Summer Mummy- a mummy wearing board shorts and sunglasses with a broad smile- both ride on surfboards next to each other. They both have small fish bowls on top of their head, and each of their fish says "Bro". Two surfers watch them shred, and one of the surfers says "Dude."

I love this poem
Ode To The Maggot
By Yusef Komunyakaa


Brother of the blowfly
And godhead, you work magic
Over battlefields,
In slabs of bad pork

And flophouses. Yes, you
Go to the root of all things.
You are sound & mathematical.
Jesus, Christ, you're merciless

With the truth. Ontological & lustrous,
You cast spells on beggars & kings
Behind the stone door of Caesar's tomb
Or split trench in a field of ragweed.

No decree or creed can outlaw you
As you take every living thing apart. Little
Master of earth, no one gets to heaven
Without going through you first.
