It's not 1536, but Anne Boleyn has taken over the news. Recently a team of computer scientists, electrical engineers and a historical novelist think they have discovered the “true face” of Anne (& her mother) by applying AI-based computational facial recognition to Holbein sketches. The catch? /1
Sonja Drimmer@sonjadrimmer.bsky.social · 5mo agoThey’re at it again. None of this is valuable historical research. It’s about exploiting historical artifacts and historians to develop computer vision further and to make a soft cultural argument for surveillance tech. This nonsense has been going on since c2010.
I did indeed do that. One of my better, and more pedantic, editorial letters.
Mia Tsai says buy her books@itsamia.bsky.social · 5mo agothe sex scene discussion reminds me of when @jhameia.bsky.social sent me edit notes asking about why an immortal cultivator finds fairy dick special, and what makes sex between two magical beings special. and yeah, my search term in my email was indeed "fairy dick"

Elizabeth Story @hyperbolictelly.bsky.social · 6mo agoI make this cover for an upcoming book where the creepy doll imagery is a metaphor for a dark capitalist cloning industry, and a week later my boss is like 'ok we acquired a new book. it's about a haunted doll.' ...so I've got two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

“AI is here, so we have no choice but to accept it” so are immigrants and trans people, but I guess that’s a skill issue

If you're a baseball player who can catch, slide, and run, but you can't hit the ball, you can: a) Practice on your own (teammates, ball machine) b) Hire a good coach c) Switch sports Notice how there is no d) Put your jersey on a robot every time it's your turn at bat (then lie about it)
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.
Laura Keating@lorekeating.bsky.social · 6mo agoI 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."
