Artists will save humanity from the AI sludge. I'm convinced. We are not going down without a fight.

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

Every once in awhile I think about this Nancy comic and it makes me laugh every single time. Absolute perfection.

Mario Day, eh? (comic by @extrafabulous.bsky.social)

Bell's ad campaign comparing our current "ai" era with the dawn of the Industrial Revolution (while ignoring the obvious parallels of "massive changes to the ecosystem") is, uh, a little on the nose

My current #WIPs (WsIP?): - novella about two towers, two diaries, and the unreliable diarist who connects them (currently starting 2nd draft) - derelict starship arrives at a world already colonized by later, faster starships (also there are ghosts) 1/2

Can we PLEASE stop telling authors to cut other languages from their books? I’ve talked to multiple authors told to remove the Spanish. 😠 If readers can figure out what a hobbit is or casually drop “valar morghulis,” they can context clue their way through a real language.

It's International Women's Day. I'm thinking of the girls who were bombed in their school and all the children who have been hurt, killed, deported. I would like peace for International Women's Day.

"AI" has found its niche: "your most credulous friend who thinks that, because they read it on the internet, it's true"

Accessibility matters and it's so easy to do. ✅ Add alt text to your images. ✅ Use screen-readable fonts. ✅ #CamelCase your hashtags. Small changes can make a big difference.

This month I will teach myself networking, and I will do it using the only medium I would have listened to in the 90s.

this made me cackle all the way through

Good times

Yeah, the whole “first person is lazy” was always weird to me because first person is incredibly challenging because you’re super limited by your narrator’s perspective and what they would be included in and what they would or wouldn’t notice as well as the prejudices they bring to the table.

“Chatbots are conscious” = block without engaging

if I see a "buy/read my book" post by someone I know, or by someone I don't know but reposted by someone whose opinion I trust, I will pretty much always reshare it and i think more people should do the same tbh
