Not me literally writing up a list of demands to all my reps, new and old. No, we're not going to shut up about all the changes that need to be made, and we'll accept no excuses. Keep holding their feet to the fire. Passivity will not create change.

We voted. And, yes, Husky looks forward to getting his sticker.
I didn't wake up today expecting to have an online argument about AI with people I believed knew better. Idk how many of you are aware of the Kobo Plus Fantasy Promo that's organised by a couple of indie authors and is on @kobowritinglife.bsky.social site every few months. 1/7
Already re-skeeted this but it bears repeating until it finally freaking sinks in. What audiobook performers do is skill and talent both—it's artistry—and handing words over to the soulless plagiarism theftware machine is—and should always be—a non-starter.
Claudie@clh2oars.bsky.social · 4d agoVoice actors are artists too. Like translators, like editors, like cover artists, they deserve authors' solidarity in the face of genAI fuckery. We are all in this together.

Got a message separately looking for a way to explain why we don’t use disabilities as insults for shitty people. This seems to be a surprise to lots of folks. It’s not about being kind to the target. It’s not even about “offending” disabled bystanders. It’s about contributing to ambient ableism.

AI is an attempt to hobble, if not outright destroy, the liberatory possibilities of information technologies—the ability to use voice, image, video, and text as authentic witness and testimony, in a globally accessible human archive that transcends distance and time, to easily contradict power
The Spook Who Sat by the Ring Doorbell@hypervisible.blacksky.app · 5d ago“As it stands, if people don’t like what they hear, they can simply turn something off; the system outlined by Microsoft describes an environment where people can instead adjust someone else’s speech to their personal taste.”

If you’re still there, it’s time to get the hell off Etsy
Michael Dashow@mdashow.bsky.social · last wk.Just when I thought Etsy was turning a corner by trimming AI content on the site, they issue a new Terms of Use (starting Dec 16) which grants them & their vendors rights "to use Your Content to develop, train, test and improve AI." Could not find an opt out to this in their privacy settings.
Ah, yes, it is that time to remind folks that NaNoWriMo sold out to predatory vanity press in 2022, and then to AI in 2024, and then collapsed in 2025, and has since risen like a sketchy phoenix looking to steal aspiring authors' work.
Lili Saintcrow@lilithsaintcrow.com · 2w agoSo, wait, has NaNoWriMo rebranded as "Novel November", paid for by ProWritingAid, which used to be a spell/grammar checker but now is (you guessed it) an "'AI' grammar checker"--in short, yet another way for a griftslop machine to grab human-written text? Do I have that right?
There are many reasons I’m excited about this, but here’s a weird one. In the U.S., everything is pretty bad right now, and some part of me would expect this to be reflected in our TTRPGs, but by and large it is not. iHunt is an amazing exception to this, and thank goodness for it.

This. Also, vital to remember that online gambling isn't just "a casino but online." These companies have entire teams of psychologists engineering methods to get people hooked, in ways drug dealers couldn't dream of. A genuinely evil business designed to profit by destroying lives.
pleonasm.@pleonasmical.bsky.social · last wk.Online gambling is a fucking scourge. It's really telling when you see Republicans complain about how the opioid epidemic is decimating small towns or whatever but stay silent about gambling. They don't care about the upheaval and death; they're just mad heroin dealers aren't giving them kickbacks
I think I was quite nice about the whole thing. /s Added my position on GenAI to my website, which was long overdue and something I sadly overlooked in doing. TLDR: Fuck AI. But you knew that already. 😊
Statement on AI
I saw a post on Bsky today (well, technically I’m on Northsky now) asking that authors put AI statements on their websites. Now, here I am, someone that posts my adamant hatred of GenAI all o…
