An MIT study found 83% of students who use AI to create essays can't remember their "own" writing. These departments aren't tasked with producing documents, they're tasked with cultivating expertise and competency within their remit. If they're using AI they're failing to do that #spéirgorm

America, Oh America, America; What a wasteland of what could have been! #poem #poetry #writing

We're at the end of an era of faux prosperity, where we normalised imperialism and deluded ourselves into believing we were not beneficiaries of it. Trump is the grossest manifestation of that evil to date, but it has always been wrong. It's time for Ireland to wake up and accept that reality.

What do you mean 1/15th is a serving? I ATE THE WHOLE FUCKING EGG IN ONE GO!

It reminds me so much of how Brexit went; declaring "they need us more than we need them", followed by confusion that the world just moved on. Between pulling out of NATO, USAID, peace deals, trade, and now basic diplomacy, the US have creates vacuums China, the EU, and Canada will happily fill.

life is too short. use your brain to make things. not genAI. be brainful instead of brainless.

"These disappointing 46 seconds were brought to you by the HSE."

Personally I think MBJ got robbed at the Oscars; last I checked, he played two roles, ergo he's owed another Oscar.

I've been sick for the last three nights now. I've gone from convulsions, to sweats, to aches, to vomitting, to brain fog, but still no fever dreams. Anyway, I forgot Adam Scott and Andrew Scott are different people and now I'm wondering if they're cousins.

Equality sounds radical in a world addicted to hierarchy.

At first I thought "fuck this person", until I remembered both of my novellas are FP; Am I part of the problem? 😐

What am I supposed to do? Plate spin both of them in bed?

A story about being different #poetry #poem #indie

Despite the hot air from government about protecting children, they've voted down our Bill to turn off the toxic algorithms. These algorithms push toxic content promoting eating disorders, self harm, misogyny and hate. Big Tech profits should not come before children's health.

Calling it; we will witness militarised AI used by the US against Iran, and it will be as inaccurate and as destructive as we all know it will be.

He never said that. But he also never didn't say that.

True story; even after months of proofreading, I STILL found typos during the audiobook recording session. The studio engineer started laughing when he heard: "With a chorus of gnarling creaks, crashing glass, a percussion of cracking brick, and the horrified screams of... OH FOR FUCK SAKE!"

Size doesn't matter (when it comes to reading) #reading #books #essay

Friendly reminder; 2015, Obama, for all his flaws, negotiated denuclearisation with Iran to lift sanctions. Iran agreed. 2018, Trump withdrew from the deal without cause; his admin confirmed Iran was abiding, only withdrawing officially in 2025. Trump is the reason people are dying right now.

my adhd brain goes ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping and for years i thought that was something wrong with me but actually its fuelled all of my creativity

Eh... no thanks. Not a good time to be connected to him.

Great piece in @lithub.com.web.brid.gy about the certainty of uncertainty of the writing life.

Every person dies, But only the good are mourned.

Fucking tell me about it!

Oddly, this video was put on 24hr review by YouTube. First time I’ve seen that but it’s def not appearing on feeds, not even my personal one which I use to test. So I’d appreciate if you watched shared and liked! youtu.be/KRzlPZ--vb0?...

A poem about disappointment and struggle.

Something I'm surprised isn't talked about more with Epstein is why ANY person (let alone him) can have that many connections. Politics. Academia. Entertainment. Finance. Tech. Royalty. Why is ANYONE afforded that much sway over our institutions, democracies, and economies?

Hope is the heather that grows on mountains of despair. #poetry #poem #hope

My hot take is that she feels shut out from opportunities on a technicality because most of the resources writers need have been systematically destroyed for the past 20 years

I wrote this a year ago. Seems more true now than ever before.

I’m not anti-tech, I’m anti-theft. If the future of “innovation” depends on stealing creators’ work without asking or paying, that’s not progress - it's stealing, and we shouldn’t accept it. #StealingIsntInnovation

Have you ever fallen into despair? You're not alone. #poem #poetry

Is there any hope for us? #essay

I wrote a short story about how AI is a threat to humanity. An AI account advertised its app in the comments. I'm not saying there are good reasons to kill yourself... but...

Me: I am a serious writer who should be taken seriously. Also me:

You can do anything as long as it's profitable.
