When you use words that suggests there's a person inside there not just probabilities assigned to tokens, you move yourself and others further from understanding what these programs are, what they can do, and why they can do it, in favor of ghost stories and anthropomorphizing.

Yeah. Here's the rundown of how we got to the point where PAX has killed 4 programs which helped BIPOC, Disabled &/or LGBT2SQIA+ people get badges, get seen, have support and have facilitated TTRPGs & other games to play in the only place that required safety tools. i-cch.medium.com/a-timeline-a...

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 8260: Whatever genre you write, read folklore. Folklore exists because at some point, people cared so much about a certain thing that they put it into a story, and passed it down the centuries in order to keep it alive. That deserves attention.

Because PAX stopped trying. They had a single person who understood & worked to fix things. Then as Pet to Threat goes that person got pushed out because misogynoir. Now PAX has gone from leading with programs to having nothing & hiring white orgs who can't even space tables for wheelchairs.

I'm sure things like this happened at times during "don't ask, don't tell," but it seems rather notable that the panel did so here and quickly, did so explicitly and in writing, and did so in this environment — both as in this administration and as in this broader anti-trans moment.

“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.”
