Three years into the AI era, educators say they face a major crisis. Bosses and clients replacing tutoring jobs with AI. Replacing *athletic coaching* with AI. Many students now cannot grasp why they would *not* use AI for schoolwork. And worse. The 5th installment of AI Killed My Job—educators:

...honestly unclear how my title gets Prince, but sure.

I just backed Public Access Analog Horror Mystery TTRPG on www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau... Check out the game that helped rewire my design brain (I'm also one of the many talented writers featured). #ttrpg #publicaccess #creepypasta #scp #stephenking

My #RevPit book is a second world hard-boiled detective story. We're going Adult Fantasy, but much less dark than pretty much everything else I write. You know, high society, magical murder conspiracy versus a tough-as-nails, shapeshifing detective. Cheerful stuff.

🚨 IT'S ELECTION DAY 🚨 This is it. Today decides everything. Let's make it count: Knock doors, make calls, talk to your friends, and make sure everyone you know in IL-09 makes their voice heard!

Getting angry at people I don't know for things that have nothing to do with me because I can't come up with character names right now and I need to take this aggression out on someone.

I have done the #RevPit thing. My brain has already decided I did it horribly wrong in some vague but inexcusable way. Fun fun fun.

A reminder that we're dead keen for pitches. Got a bunch in here already, but if you have a dream story, or a story only you can tell, chuck it in the form. Also we're looking for illustrators! We have some onboard already but we need more! Any Qs slide into my DMs!

We've donated the money we received from the critique drive. really good showing! Now we will get critiquing. Thank you to all who donated.

IT IS TIME The man looked up from his beach chair. "Really?" He said. "I've only just retired." Death held up a timer. A single grain was about to fall. And then... It didn't. CURIOUS Vetinari shrugged. "I've only just discovered drinks with little umbrellas. I'll let it fall in a bit" 1/17

This is the reality of what AI companies want for the future: where EVERYONE is unable to function without relying on them for "intelligence as a utility." In order for them to sell this to us, they need to convince us our brains are never creative, interesting, able enough.

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out: www.404media.co/ai-is-africa...

Someone posted an AI-generated Sherlock Holmes dog and it bothered me, so I made a (terrible) human-generated Sherlock Holmes dog.

Oh no. I'm going to need another bookshelf.

I really can't wait to see how big the lawsuit against grammarly gets and I hope the plaintiffs sue them into complete and fundamental nonexistence. Like, "the company has to scrap their code rather than sell it as assets, and then also dissolve" nonexistence.

I would love to have, like, two uninterrupted months to just blast out a new manuscript. If anyone has those lying around.

Creatives: for the love of God, don't upload your manuscript, painting, song, podcast, movie to an LLM. Doesn’t matter what you stand to get out of it.

Hello I am very excited about this

Rare Supreme Court W.

Apparently we all, not just famous people, need to find a legal way to prevent our likeness from being used after death now

Even in high school I thought the very clear message of Fight Club was not to let our vapid over-consumptive culture lead you to become a mindless "space monkey" led by the nihilistic dark Id of a depressed loser, for it is a similar path.

What if, instead of an advisor, it was literally two people in Congress

Even if this impossible best case scenario we're pretending is likely doesn't happen, we will assume an equally absurd rosy scenario we've just made up will come to pass instead. Until it doesn't.

At the bottom of the Substack settings page, under "Danger Zone," you can turn off all subscriptions at once. Apologies to all my friends on Substack. I'd gritted my teeth and supported you because I love your work. But Substack's partnership with Polymarket is the last straw for me.

It's time. Colin, the comrade running the shelter-in-place food program I'm working at, told me that this week he's had to turn down asks from schools to supply food directly to their sheltering families. The reason? There's not enough money coming in for that amount of food. Let's change that.

What is happening in Kansas is fucked up and what is continuing to happen in Palestine is fucked up. In April @charittrpgs.bsky.social is hosting a Team Fundraiser to support Trans Lifeline. In May we are hosting a Team Fundraiser to support Doctors Without Borders. (cont)

The left is not "missing out" on AI. It's winning the argument. Americans worry about AI and dislike tech CEOs. They're mobilizing against data centers. They support regulation, even refusal. Calls for the left to embrace AI are an effort to change the terms of the debate in Silicon Valley's favor.
