Been hearing ChatGPT ads on book podcasts lately and I’m assuming that they can’t control what ads are used, but it does create a moment where I’m like… but guys… Really should be a thing where you can prohibit certain ads from being included. Because yuck.

Jeff VanderMeer@jeffvandermeer.bsky.social · last mo.Now accusations of folks high up in HWA verbally abusing staff and laughing that if anyone self harmed because of it they'd learn a lesson. Everyone who heard that said at a meeting is complicit. Disgusting.

Tremblay, who has sued OpenAI, says the tech giant "steals our books, doesn't give an opt-in or an opt-out, doesn't pay us."

Just finished listening to this... a fine episode from a pair of fine humans. But man, did I ever get nostalgic when they went down the Velvet rabbit hole... what a magical time that was. Before social media ate everything, that was an oasis for some wonderful weirdos.

Sèphera Girón: so i hear some of you writers don't like ai Girón: well, i'm tired of all you writers not liking ai! Girón: and i'm gonna let you all know it! Girón: i'm mad as hell! Girón: put that in the newspaper! Girón: or better yet Girón: put it in the HWA newsletter!
that HWA newsletter op-ed was disgusting, juvenile, stupid, AND poorly written, but I do think we need to underline the distinction between "the organization allowed a bad essay to be published in an official communication" and "the HWA endorses this point of view"
