@havenspec.bsky.social , your best story of the year so far. I’m the last survivor of my particular mission, the last living member of my family, the one I was born into, the one I grew up with. Every day I try to rebuild that mech. Lot of rust nowadays. havenspec.com/fiction/piec...

Aside from the obvious conflict of interest of being written by someone with a financial interest in AI, or that this appears to run counter to HWA's own AI policies, there's an awful lot of condescending "yet you participate in society" to this, which I've seen in many recent pro-AI arguments.

Anyway, so my book that was written with ZERO use of AI is out in less than 2 weeks. The Toronto launch is coming up soon thereafter (details below). The cover is also AI-free and by renowned Chilean illustrator Loreto Salinas Retamal. Pre-order now: www.starsandsabers.com/books/the-as...

Watching the Storm broadcasters because they actually call the game and don’t just repeat the same old athleticism / basketball IQ / etc. tired clichés. Zero courtside interviews, also. But these two just HAVE to stop calling Fauthoux “fa-tooks” #WNBA
