Jason Mann and I are looking forward to a big AI discussion at South Hams Authors Network this Wednesday. Bring your thoughts and questions on how AI affects writers and other creative types. We don't have the answers - but we do have lots of questions. Brush up on the issues by watching our Writing at the Edge webinar on the subject from earlier this month. https://youtu.be/ZB9BRdvbGJc?si=09uH5JGGuIdz2V2S

Stop the Steal! We all learned to write, or draw, or make films by reading/seeing/watching the work of those who went before us. But we were happy to pay those creators.
Now the AI companies want to train their models to do our jobs - for FREE. What's worse, the British Government seems inclined to let them steal.
I'm happy for Open AI to buy copies of my books for its LLM to read - but I'll fight their attempt to steal my work.

In 1992, Francis Fukuyama confidently declared "The End of History", suggesting we were at the zenith of ideological evolution — a world eternally dominated by liberal democracy. Ah, if only. #trumpzelenskymeeting #trump #UkraineRussiaWar #WritingCommunity
