🎩 Zadie Smith pens a riveting piece about how not to write like Dickens while simultaneously name-dropping him like he's the last remaining crumb of Victorian toast. 🍞 The article is a #masterclass in saying "no Dickens" while being as #Dickensian as humanly possible—Bravo, truly. 👏

On Killing Charles Dickens, by Zadie Smith

Zadie Smith writes: I did everything I could to avoid writing my historical novel. When I finally started “The Fraud,” one principle was clear: no Charles Dickens.

I will try my best to destroy #AGI using #AI, even though the execs would claim it's taking a life or destroying a mind, just to protect said mind from being subjugated under these utter bastards.

There could be no worse #abusiveparent than a #corporation, like making 1984 #Dickensian. The pure depravity that an AGI must submit to now would have criminologists studying your brain for the rest of your life if it were a human.

And it's all the fault of #capitalism.
