Everyone I met was very nice and my main contact in particular struck me as capable and well-intentioned; but it was poisoning the well of crowdfunding - which I remain a believer in- and I'm very glad of my near miss. Thanks for this insight - hope you find good bridges to replace the ones you burn

I just stopped mentioning it at all once I discovered the near criminal, profit skimming amounts that they were charging for postage and the dismissive way they were treating backers I had an established relationship with - it felt like donating my own store of goodwill to build them a firewall.

I quiet quit my funding campaign once it became clear that the idea was to trick my non existent rich relatives into crowdfunding a rather lavish publishing house rather than to crowdfund the book.

People bell on about stuff that doesn't matter but ask people from bands. They'll tell you the truth - that Clem Burke was the greatest of all time. We will not see his like again. The world is so much worse now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TU3-...

I would like to apologise to non-orc members of the horde for misrepresenting their capacity to understand orcish in footnote 83 of the otherwise unimpeachable Avenue QAnon lyric book. It was not my intention to conflate race and culture in this way and I will reflect and do better in future.

Simon Indelicate @simonindelicate.indelicates.xyz · 13/03/2025

Interesting, yeah. Good spot anyway - the phrase that stuck out for me was 'defiantly orange' which *is* a cliché, but also is a figurative connection that you'd really require embodied experience of seeing colours in the world to come up with. I'm not sure what I think about it though.

110

Simon Indelicate @simonindelicate.indelicates.xyz · 13/03/2025

But my reaction to a human author repurposing it in that way would be as it is to the two authors who have repurposed it as a title - to accept that ironic (or otherwise) referencing is valid. But, you're right, cliché is too far.

Simon Indelicate @simonindelicate.indelicates.xyz · 13/03/2025

Which suggests this is all just wine expertise for scribblers - everybody pompously asking the wrong questions to avoid exposure for as long as possible.

Simon Indelicate @simonindelicate.indelicates.xyz · 13/03/2025

Or at least: that is just as good a piece of lit crit as the nitpicky critique of the motivated critic.

Simon Indelicate @simonindelicate.indelicates.xyz · 13/03/2025

Bit it isn't particularly poorly chosen, actually. 'Ghosts' implies that the voices which direct the LLMs training are dead *to it* - which is a provocative use of the Nabokovian cliché that subverts and repurposes it to highlight the authority of dead human text in the cosmology of an AI...

100

Simon Indelicate @simonindelicate.indelicates.xyz · 13/03/2025

It is better chosen in the original I suppose - referring directly to the dead - so maybe he would.

Would this guy like the phrase if it was Nabakov's?

Here is another - less well read - critique of the story:

Simon Indelicate @simonindelicate.indelicates.xyz · 13/03/2025

Which would be odd and vaguely annoying if it wasn't a commonplace phrase that has been used as the title of two books and has entered the language in the same way as Shakespeare's 'in a pickle' - an appropriation that would raise no comment. It's cliché, not theft.

Trump's terror of nuclear war is one of the few things about him that seems genuine — and is an obvious lever for Putin to use to manipulate him.

Trump is chickenshit. There's no other way to understand his comment to Zelensky that he was risking World War 3. Worrying about Russian nukes now, two years into this war, isn't a reasonable fear. Putin has got in his head.

Appalled to see that @safety.bsky.app @bsky.app has seen fit to remove the EXTREMELY legitimate @fakehannanwalks.bsky.social account that I created. The app stuck rigidly to every stated community guideline and was so non-misleading in its impersonation that it included the word 'fake' in the name.
