I've mentioned before I've updated my contracts to make sure everything in the production of my books is done by humans and not "AI"; if you're wondering what such a thing looks like, here's a clause covering that from a recent contract.

"The Publisher may not use artificial intelligence in any manner in relation to this Work, including to reproduce, translate, narrate and/or produce art for the Work without the Proprietor’s express permission, nor does the Publisher have the right to sublicense others to use artificial intelligence in any manner to reproduce, translate, narrate, and/or produce art for the Work without the Proprietor’s express permission. Furthermore, the Publisher will not use cover or interior artwork generated by artificial intelligence. "In addition, the Proprietor expressly prohibits the Publisher from using the Work in any manner for purposes of training artificial intelligence technologies to generate text, including without limitation, technologies that are capable of generating works in the same style or genre as the Work. The Proprietor reserves all rights to license uses of the Work for generative artificial intelligence training and development of machine learning language models. The Publisher will use best efforts to include a limitation in any sublicense of the Work prohibiting the use of the Work for training and developing generative artificial intelligence technologies."

Honestly several things are depressing about ai but the two that stand out are the eagerness of people to outsource thought because cognitive effort is uncomfortable, and the casualness with which people use the shiny, easy thing knowing it's bad for climate change

Fuck. There are so many voice actors who would die to have a chance to read your book out loud. HIRE THEM. Find them! I would read!!

Indie Book Spotlight@bookspotlight.bsky.social · 4d ago

Seeing folks defend gen AI audiobooks is so gross. So fuck the narrators, huh? Virtual voice is bullshit and yes, you’re part of the problem. I don’t care that you feel entitled to an audiobook. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO EVERYTHING. I hate this mindset. Get over yourselves.

Pro-tip: when writing draft legislation for your fantasy novel, always get a retired ex-Cabinet civil servant to check it over for plausibility. Anyway, I'll be doing a reading from Radical Magic at @bristolcon.bsky.social tomorrow! And Sperrystone Books will be selling it and The Shetland Witch.

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

Actually working for a returning client right now (for the 3rd time!) and I couldn't be happier they chose to trust me once again! It's such a special thing ✨

It’s sad some clients believe they’ll annoy the artist if they recommission them again As someone who’s commissioned many artists and does commissions too, I’m telling you artists have no issues with reoccurring clients; infact it’s usually an honor for them most of the time!

Felicette - the first cat in space in 1963 - an important story in space history. Read about her mission in this tribute book by Stuart Atkinson 👇🚀✨📚 #Space #OTD #Astronomy

Stuart Atkinson@stuartatkinson.bsky.social · last wk.

Tomorrow is the 63rd anniversary of the flight of Felicette, the first & only cat to go into space. After surviving her trip she was killed (not "euthanised") by scientists to study her brain. They later admitted they learned nothing. Please help me share her story & honour her memory.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you’re under absolutely no obligation to justify yourself to anyone if you choose to spend the entire weekend reading a good book, making multiple cups of tea, and indulging in a scandalous amount of cinnamon rolls.
