Ok, I'll cop to it. I actually like the hardware of the Iphone duo. From the detail they went into during the announcement, the engineers seemed very proud of their work. But I don't want ai fingering through all my shit so unless there's an off switch, no thanks.

RIP to Peter Cullen, my absolute favorite voice actor. Transforming and rolling out one final time.

New albums this week from In This Moment and Kamelot AND A new album from The Hu last month that I had missed. My ears are eating good this week. 🎶😋🎶
For those that have been to more WorldCon's than I have: Which is the best day to deploy my singular cosplay? Sat? Sun? I'm chained to a table so no wandering for the most part.

in any case, as a writer I am not at all interested in knowing if "AI" can produce slop that satisfies some readers. I am interested in destroying the idea that mass theft of the written word to produce something without thought or character counts as "writing".
Oh yeah, Reacher season 4. Absolutely a guilty pleasure show and I refuse to feel bad about it.
