I’m not concerned about AI outcompeting competent writers or impacting my career directly. I am deeply concerned about AI swamping submission systems and destroying the ability of editors and readers to find the next generation of writers.

AI is very much a danger to the long term health of the field not because of competition for quality readable fiction but because of its ability to create dreck in previously unimaginable quantities and drown submission systems and indie publishing in shit.

Utah GOP passed a law in 2022 to ban books containing “pornographic or indecent” content from Utah schools, libraries, and classrooms.

So a a parent asked that the Bible be removed per GOP definition of vulgarity—and the committee approved.🤯

In short—the GOP has cancelled the Bible. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've decided to ACTIVELY decouple from Twitter: Every day, I go back and DM at least 10 of my followers, telling them I've moved here and to follow me here instead (I remove them as followers after that DM). A number of them have set up accounts as a result.

Please do the same if you're more active here than on #Twitter That's how you can help the #twittermigration

Boost if you agree.

Holy moly, this is very encouraging: not just because BlueSky seems to be going in a good direction on algorithms and content moderation, but because between the Fediverse and BlueSky, it looks like we’re going to get two networks, with different protocols, features, and policies; but both with decentralization, consent, and safety at the core.
