This is huge—by the end of their journey, the prediction market was 99% certain that “Will they make it?” would resolve to a YES. One early bettor was looking at a six-figure payout. And then, at the very last second, for seemingly no reason at all, Orpheus turned.

Reason 1,999,.... for the Butlerian Jihad.

One of the most affecting stories from Ken Liu’s The Hidden Girl anthology was “Thoughts and Prayers”, which followed a family who lost a child in a school shooting. Trolls created a deepfake of the daughter in various horrible ways. Horrifying to see reality catching up to the story.

@blackharepress.bsky.social's YEAR SEVEN: Dark Moments anthology is now out! Excited to have a microfiction story included in it #WriterShareWednesday

Every country needs to be following Finland's lead here. Media literary skills are going to be crucially important in the age of AI, where knowing what's real and what's not is going to be increasingly difficult apnews.com/article/fake...

There we go. That there’s a headline.

If we can’t get the White House to listen to experts, maybe we can at least get some of them to play Paradox games and show them how badly things like this play out.

For my first kid’s first two bdays, I wrote him a book and my wife illustrated. Keeping up the tradition, we’re in the process of finishing the second book for our second kid. I’m super excited for how she’s illustrating this one about our cat going on vacation. #writingcommunity #amwriting

Really enjoying this cool news environment where I don't follow the news anymore, my wife tells me something that can't possibly be true, we fact check it and ... it's true.

To whoever bought my book last month: Thank you. I woke up this morning sincerely considering quitting writing. I can keep going now, thanks to you. You have no idea what your support means to me. Sincerely, A Struggling Author #WritingCommunity #IndiePub

We truly are capable of extraordinary things…

Suddenly it starts to make more sense how the US was able to catch a foreign leader completely off guard. Less “we’re super baddies” and more “they played us and let us do it.”

Just startle awoke from a nap because I had a nightmare about being a relationship columnist. Pretty sure I was citing How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days … #amwriting nightmares

It's been said plenty of times but it's really hard to overstate would corny losers these guys all are. "What would you do with a billion dollars?" "Uhhh, I'd probably hang out in tourist traps with all the worst people in the world."

Just saw Zootopia 2 with the kid and really speaks to society at large that in the movie there’s a conspiracy theorist podcaster AND a shadowy cabal controlling elected officials. Good times.

How much of AI adoption is driven by a cultural shift towards people feeling like something is only worth doing if they are masters at it instead of the idea of doing something just because you like it?
