It’s my two-year anniversary with the animal shelter!

Seriously Google? How does your "AI" get "but has also faced criticism for publishing AI-generated stories" from the countless news stories written about us NOT WANTING GENERATED STORIES and actively fighting against them. Oh wait, it's not actually intelligent, is it? Just bullshit all the way down

New book!

My friend asked for help because she can’t receive emails. We found the problem.

Woo hoo!

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product. On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

Author/horror friends, please be wary of @caitlinmarceau.bsky.social and her publishing imprint Hedone Books. She took over DarkLit earlier this year and owes authors and editors there a lot of money but isn't paying up. She blocks anyone who queries her about it. Do your due diligence.

Noooo!

Anyway, check out new audiobooks from @davidwood.bsky.social @jordanrivet.bsky.social @recordedbooks.bsky.social @tracythewriter.bsky.social @aurorarey.bsky.social @boldstrokesbooks.bsky.social @clairestorey.bsky.social @rubylanders.bsky.social @berixson.bsky.social @bibliotheory.bsky.social & more!

This is part of the fight we are having - it’s not a great piece because it misses the core - 8 weeks before the end of the transition period Sweden changed a national law which contradicted the Withdrawal Agreement. During the transition period Brits were told by Migrationsverket

New audiobook!

San Miguel’s Treasure by Armand Rosamilia "Treasure hunting, drug cartels, and vengeful ghosts. Can you ask for more? Those familiar with the author’s works will recognize the cartel" - amazon review https://buff.ly/3wvvkMp

The intrusion of AI will demand writers (and editors, artists, anybody who makes anything) forcibly push back and stand firm against this wood chipper that just wants to turn your work into sawdust that can be used to make mediocre artistic particleboard. To remind: terribleminds.com/ramble/2024/...

Sunset in Santa Fe.

Now reading: Dourado, by David Wood. It's Indiana Jones, but direct-to-video and can't decide if aliens or God is the real mystery. Doesn't really matter. Lots of action, some fun setpieces, just don't try to think too hard and you'll have a good time as our heroes hunt down Goliath's sword.

True! 🤣

the painting on the left is incredible, but unfortunately has deteriorated over time. thankfully, with the power of modern AI, we can recreate what this amazing work of art once looked like in full

Relatable!

Whuff.

Bo Jack and Calypso say hello!

Things that drive me nuts. Even though that newbie author was crazy for one-starring reviews it still pisses me off that Goodreads still allows this behavior of accounts one starting books not even for sale yet. This behavior on GR is rampant. www.themarysue.com/cait-corrain...

Now got 8 of the S-SQUAD series available in German Language editions from Luzifer Verlag, and doing well for me. The wee sweary squaddies just keep on giving. www.williammeikle.com/aboutssquad....

Sports Illustrated appears to have published affiliate articles under the bylines of fake writers, complete with made-up bios and AI-generated headshots. After we asked The Arena Group about it, the bylines were deleted entirely. For @futurism.bsky.social futurism.com/sports-illus...
