Just found out TENET is streaming on Tubi and wonder if I should watch it, or if I'll be irritated into fits. So, dear internets, should I?

"But if the plight of adults with long COVID remains poorly understood, the millions of children who have it worldwide are practically invisible, their suffering...obscured by the myths that COVID is "harmless" for kids and the pandemic is "over"." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-16/children-with-long-covid-dismissed-doctors-myth-virus-harmless/103959078

As I said elsewhere: They *say* individual user data won't be used to feed the Microsoft "AI" they're using.
Of course, these companies also *say* they'll respect robots.txt and not scrape all our feeds and websites to feed their plagiarism machines, and my firewall user agent blocking data politely disagrees.

Got a notification from Airtable that they're going all-in on that "AI" nonsense. The only thing I really used it for was the yearly reading log, but that's been exported now and I'll use a local spreadsheet.
So much goodwill is being lost by companies leaping on the plagiarism engine bandwagon.

Good writing requires skill and empathy; this is why those who lack both are so all-in on the “AI” grift.

At certain points I realised I was holding my breath, my entire body tense, because I could FEEL what she was describing.

“…so an epic struggle began. Or at least, Crowley broke in and changed the locks on their ‘temple’ — an upstairs room at 36 Blythe Road in west London.” https://mulberryhall.medium.com/odd-this-day-eb0ab552f3b3

Look, if grifters are going to steal the term “AI”, we have no choice but to make the term—however inaccurate—a subject of intense mockery. Take it up with the grifting bastards, not with those of us pushing back.

Seriously, this is embarrassing.

The reporting on trad publishing’s buy-in on the “AI” grift needs to NOT be simple uncritical regurgitation of self-serving press-release talking points. https://www.thebookseller.com/news/harpercollins-and-elevenlabs-ai-to-create-audiobooks-for-foreign-titles

"Our online spaces are not ecosystems, though tech firms love that word. They’re plantations; highly concentrated and controlled environments, closer kin to the industrial farming of the cattle feedlot or battery chicken farms that madden the creatures trapped within." https://www.noemamag.com/we-need-to-rewild-the-internet/

2024-04-16 16:42:27

I’m just agog at the amount of money trad publishing is leaving on the table by choosing BookTok bullshit and “AI” grift over midlist writers who basically keep the industry going. It’s insane.

I think I will toss SHE'S FLEEING A BYRONIC HERO in at the end of Volume 2. That novella owes a great deal to the SNL "Romance Bookstore" skit, which reduces me to a cackling mess each time I watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmRhnDVMnn8

Well, I've been sunk in the book all afternoon, maybe I should look at the news and…
...oh. Nope. Going right back into my fictional universes, thanks.
