don't reskeet book excerpts from terrible people, even to dunk on them or to hate-read. You give prestige magazines clicks, and you encourage them to do this crap more. Encourage terrible people to go to What Ever Happened To?? land

Hello, French post office made shipping to the US possible again. Also, new tariffs don't apply to art (for now). So I made purchase from the US available on my shop again.

Just for my own edification, if you are BIPOC and living in Canada and write gothic horror do you mind saying hi to me on this thread? Off the bat respectfully I know of Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Premee, Nalo Hopkinson, I love all of their work and have their books.

Y'all need to have the same kind of smoke for AI Music as you have for AI Art. Okay? Music is an extremely important part of artistic human expression, and we must not allow it to rot away because 'it sounds just like the real thing' or whatever. Musicians are going through it too. Fuck AI.

Everybody says "use your indie bookstore!" but I still haven't been notified about the book I preordered two copies of, that released in July. I marked as pay on pickup, so I'm guessing they just sold them to someone else. Or just didn't bother to order them.

The article doesn't say it, but this cool solar forecasting software uses no large language models, the thing people usually think of when they hear "AI." It uses a fairly simple convolutional neural network that's readily trained on a laptop. No data centers or LLMs involved. Research paper here:

A reminder: AI is a bad translator--it will give you in a pinch the meaning (if it doesn't get hopelessly confused) , but i will not create something that reads like a book. That's why we have professionals. (And everyone who's reread ai translations knows that it's faster going to rewrite them)

I'm curious how many Canadians who wholeheartedly support US Dems not caving to Repubs in their government shutdown, are simultaneously demanding NDP and Bloc MP's cave to the Liberals to keep our government from shutting down.

A new study published in Environmental Research Letters reveals that even advanced climate intervention strategies may not be enough to secure the future of wine grapes, coffee and cacao. These crops are vital to many economies and provide livelihoods for farmers worldwide. However, they are increasingly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Rising temperatures […] The post Climate intervention may not be enough to save coffee, chocolate and wine, new study finds appeared first on IOP Publishing.

The name of this 1948 Dior gown is flamant rose which sounds much more romantic than its English translation which is flamingo pink. All of the fullness at the back, layered over a bustle style tournure pad adds energy to the movement of the skirt, in darker shades
