"[T]he arrival of LLMs does not appear to have displaced activity by incumbent authors... [T]here is a separate question of whether AI facilitates the creation of content that would be well-regarded by critics or other cultural elites... [T]he absence of an effect at the top suggests a limit to how much LLMs can help with elite cultural production." (Imke Reimers & Joel Waldfogel 2026)

Do Medium Pubs Enhance Relationships?

The Medium forum gives writers the option to submit their work to a "publication" (or "pub"). Supposedly, the pub has ability to find readers.

Does this work?

Here is my experience:

"#HarperCollins #Australia will #publish Conversations with My #Rabbi: Timeless Teachings for a Fractured World, based on conversations between Rabbi #EliSchlanger and #author #NikkiGoldstein recorded before #Schlanger was killed in the #BondiBeach #terrorattack.

The book will be published simultaneously on May 26 in the #US, #UK and Australia.

Schlanger, assistant rabbi at #Chabad of #Bondi for 18 years, was killed on December 14, 2025 along with 14 others as terrorists attacked the annual #Chanukah by the Sea celebration at Bondi Beach.

#Goldstein first met Schlanger in September 2022 when she was gravely ill with pneumonia in a #Sydney ICU. Her daughter spotted Schlanger in the hallway and asked him to come pray for her.

“Standing beside her bed, he blew the #shofar and whispered ancient prayers over Nikki’s comatose body,” the publisher said. “One day later, Nikki began recovering from the life-threatening infection. The doctors called it a miracle.”

"We should #publish less" ... being a little late to the #GWP symposium at @BBAW, I couldn't agree more with the first words I got from the speaker.
