Thousands of AI-written, edited or ‘polished’ books are being sold – an eerie echo of Orwell’s ‘novel-writing machines’ In ‘1984,’ George Orwell envisaged a world in which books were a mass-produced commodity no different from ‘jam and bootlaces.’

🚨
"I prompted Claude to write an essay 'in the style of George Orwell about the threat to individual identity and freedom of thought posed by AI and particularly by the ability of ‘novel writing machines’ to produce literature....[It] did a passable job."

I wanted to see what a monster looks like - The Boston Globe For years, I taught about mythical beasts. Then I went looking for a real one.

Really enjoyed this.

"The moment a monster can be clearly seen it ceases to be a monster."

"You can use the suffering of asteroid miners to ruminate on class conflict and worker exploitation without appropriating the lived experience of real people. Like horror or fantasy, science fiction is a literature of literalized metaphor."

The start of a Times piece from James S.A. Corey (see previous post):

"Science fiction is, among other things, the literature of talking about things you’re not talking about. It can be easier to grapple with the seductive nature of tribalism when you’re dealing with Mars vs. Earth.

In These Novels About Aliens, the Truth Is Out There

HOW AWESOME!
