AI bros stole her music and her voice from her YouTube channel, fed it to a model to generate AI music, and then got her youtube channel demonetised for using "their" music apparently.

"AI is going to create opportunities" apparently. Opportunities for scammers and thieves.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal.

Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big.

And here we are.

Stages of the AI hype cycle.

There is no difference between "aayega toh Modi hee" and "AI is inevitable". It's chest-thumping intended to demoralise. Don't fall for that shit.

In fact, whatever damage AI companies have suffered till now has been on account of the massive backlash they have received from creative quarters. It is because of us that they moed from "AI will replace you" to "AI was only ever intended to help you." Creative backlash did that.

Whenever spmeone says this "AI users have to hide now" as if they're a persecuted minority, we all should just respond with glee and supervillain laughter.

No. All authors don't use AI. That's just a lie AI hustlers tell you to make you think you are the odd one out. You're not.

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines.

Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

A comic featuring two characters, presumably in the government. One keeps wondering how to solve the opposition he is facing due to his bad policies and the other keeps saying "maar denge fasaa denge", meaning we will hurt them and entrap them. Eventually they get to problems like climate change etc. and the other keeps saying "maar denge fasaa denge". When the primary says that can't be the answer to everything, he replies, "It has to. I don't know how to do anything else."

When you have criminals in power, all you get as solutions are crimes.

The opening paragraph of “The Leviathan’s Mercy” that got published in @theberlinreview.bsky.social is perfect for today's #WIPSnips looking for “fool”

Project: Hail Mary is a pathetic fantasy YouTube video by Science Fiction with Damien Walter

A great assessment of Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary. A male pattern fantasy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4x6L...

A webcomic about a monkey-balancing centrist who keeps trying to minimising rising hate in society on every level until eventualy hate takes over and he reveals himself to be one of the supremacists.

This appears to be a roguelike.

Hi Jason, I just came across We Who Hunt Alexanders, and I have to say it immediately grabbed me. Amelia’s story is gripping, dark, and layered with emotion. The way you explore a monster who feels happiness, sadness, fear, and love in a world that’s cruel and unforgiving makes this story compelling and unforgettable. That’s exactly why I wanted to reach out. I run a book review service through Super Lovers Book, connecting books with real readers who genuinely enjoy science fiction, dark fantasy, and emotionally rich stories. These readers don’t just leave stars they leave thoughtful, honest reviews that highlight what makes a story unique, powerful, and worth discovering. Here’s why reviews are so important for We Who Hunt Alexanders: Build Trust: Potential readers often decide whether to pick up a book based on reviews. Authentic feedback signals that your story is worth their time. Increase Visibility: Platforms like Goodreads reward books with steady, genuine reviews, helping them appear in search results, recommendations, and “readers also enjoyed” lists. Generate Momentum: Each review encourages more readers to pick up the book, engage with the story, and leave their own thoughts, creating a snowball effect of attention. Reach the Right Audience: Reviews written by readers who love sci-fi and dark fantasy ensure your story reaches the readers most likely to appreciate and recommend it. I truly believe We Who Hunt Alexanders deserves this kind of engagement. A few honest reviews now can amplify your book’s reach, help it gain visibility, and connect it with the readers who will love it most. Would you be open to having We Who Hunt Alexanders read and reviewed by genuine readers who are passionate about sci-fi and dark fantasy? No pressure at all I just wanted to reach out because your work deserves to be discovered by more readers. Warmly, Herry Sharp CEO, Super Lovers Book

if you continue to ignore my messages, I might do something you would regret for the rest of your life. I already have access to your book, and instead of giving it a positive review, I will leave a negative one and damage its reputation. It seems you have forgotten that I have a community of readers, and I can easily influence them to bring your book down. You can try me though. CEO | Super Book Lover Curator Helping brilliant books find their people, one honest review at a time.

Book club scams are now threatening authors who don't fall for their BS. In December, I received an email from Herry Sharp, so-called CEO of "Super Book Lover Curator" praising my novella We Who Hunt Alexanders.

Totally AI-generated and a scam so I didn't respond.

Now Herry is threatening me. 1/

Tweet from a loser that says, "I will have 30k to make a fully AI film, what’s the plan? I’m supposed to have ideas by next week. cmon guys what would you want to see? I like sci-fi but it feels to obvious for AI 🤷‍♂️"

AI filmmaking is completely unserious.

You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

Meta Patented AI That Takes Over Your Account When You Die, Keeps Posting Forever Meta was granted a patent in 2023 for the idea, outlining how a large language model (LLM) can "simulate" a user's social media activity.

He means "the Left needs to start accomodating greed and exploitation because they seem impossible to escape".

No, it's that it's an infoweapon built by evil billionaire oligarchs to disenfranchise labour, surveil, destroy art, poison all information on the internet, spread disinfo & propaganda, poison education, & make a pliant, uncritical population that accepts any content fed to them by the ruling class.

Today I learned that some people have an internal monologue.
