while grading I found myself about to say a few times, “this prose feels empty in an AI sort of way,” in cases where I had no idea if the student used AI, but the empty prose simply “felt” sorta fake & I think it’s fascinating how AI has so quickly become a synonym for meaningless, empty, useless

Amazon is making money off AI copies of books - and putting the onus on authors to prove they’ve been plagiarised. Honestly, just stop buying books from Amazon. Get them from an actual bookshop or order them from a reputable book supplier like

Authors say Amazon's knockoff book problem is leaving them frustrated — and making the internet worse in the process.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Oh, damn. RIP. I think I told you once how he long-ago visited my college. He walked to podium, lighted a cigarette, then smoked in silence & stared at us. Finally said, “What are you doing here? You should be at home, writing." Rosencrantz and Guildenstern is why I pursued a theater degree.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

People who've been in journalism for a while should be able to recall a time when the news side of Fox News was basically sound, it was just a few primetime opinion personalities who'd left journalism behind. Let's not pretend we don't know where a reorganization like A. G. and Khan's leads.

today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts. Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

It's a good thing Nikola Tesla isn't alive to see his name being dragged through the mud by a Temu Thomas Edison. He'd be so mad that he would probably write an angry letter to the pigeon god who lived on the windowsill.

I have watched as so-called "compromise" positions on transgender people's rights have failed over and over--in statehouses, the Biden White House, and in liberal rhetoric. There is no middle ground acceptable to the politicians, activists, and billionaires obsessed with trans people and our lives.
