It's absolutely asinine we can't even use a fucking file browser without being force-fed AI bullshit. Who asked for this? AI has literally made everything worse and less intuitive.

If you think Disney has "killed Star Wars" and hate basically everything they've done, maybe it's time to come to terms with the fact that you aren't a "Star Wars fan" you just happen to like a few movies in a greater franchise. Exit the fandom with decorum and let other people enjoy things.

I've decided to start remastering most of my albums, starting with (the fanclub exclusives) The Legend of Grenworth and Atsuko Sailed to the Moon. I'll announce the re-release when I'm finished.

The Copernicus Strain is now my best-selling album. Thanks to everyone who listened and purchased the album, and thanks to the cool people at An Eclectic Collection of Dust for hosting the listening party and supporting my album. I'm happy to be part of their brilliant roster of artists.

I've seen people trying to defend it today by saying "No, no, I just use it to brainstorm, bounce ideas, I do the actual writing" and with all the kindness in the world I need to tell you: if there is a stage of writing you are not good at, you need to get good, not use the plagiarism machine.

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

Album is finished, uploaded, sent to the publisher...no turning back now. "The Copernicus Strain" releases a week early on my personal bandcamp page, April 10th everywhere else. I look forward to seeing you all in the listening party.
