We are disappointed but not surprised that Meta has used millions of pirated books to develop its AI systems. As a matter of urgency, Meta needs to compensate the rightsholders of all the works it has been exploiting. But what can authors do? Read here: societyofauthors.org/2025/03/21/t...
Heads up, Authors! The Authors Guild have a template letter to tell Meta you do not give permission for them to use your work (including UK authors). actionnetwork.org/letters/auth... @vikkipatis.bsky.social has also created an open letter for UK authors: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... 1/2
Tell AI Companies They Do Not Have the Right to Use Your Work
I just sent a letter telling AI companies they do not not have the right to use my work. Use the Authors Guild's letter template to send your own.

Quite fitting that on Valentines night in the north of Norway, Mother Nature reminds me of yet another reason I love this place 🇳🇴
Midnattshuset looking lovely in Norway 🇳🇴 and sitting at #15 in the charts! Also … new sweater (of course!), handmade in Narvik 🥹
Meanwhile, on a deserted beach in the Norwegian Arctic… …an author in need of inspiration wonders if the muse will descend before the frostbite sets in!
The best book post (The Tarot reader lands June 2025, and I’m VERY lucky to get an early read!)
