Acabei de visitar minha vó e falei que a nossa família ta em um processo judicial a 20 anos tudo por 10 mil ai ey comentei que esse dinheiro não ia mudar a vida de ninguém. Ela falou que 10mil dava pra muita coisa então eu perguntei o que ela faria com essa grana e ela só mandou:

I heard a snippet of this last week, but just now listened through. Proud of Kim Hill picking at the shallowness of anti-trans arguments. 🏳️‍⚧️
TW for transphobia. Painful to listen to this brand of hate, even when it's being challenged.

Hate that we're trapped in the future where a cool new writing AI is used for spam.

When I heard a sci-fi magazine had been overwhelmed with AI-generated submissions, I assumed it was sci-fi fans exploring the possibilities of stories written by machines. Depressing that it's non-fans engaged in a get rich quick scheme.

@BrianStaveley I like the simpler one, but I was raised in a school of minimalism rather than poetry. I'm not the target audience. I'm thoroughly enjoying your analysis of the ChatGPT output, and the insight into how you craft sentences!

The best way to make money with AI stories is selling courses on how to make money with AI stories, to an audience who don't realize how little money can be made with stories.

The timing of the ai thing in publishing is so funny

*walks into an industry dying, underfunded, on fire, scandals under every rock*

Ai tech bro voice: hey this is the easiest money ever

Submissions are currently closed. It shouldn't be hard to guess why.

We’ve had enough. We’ve joined over 100 organizations and leaders to demand that @nytimes stop printing inaccurate and harmful misinformation about transgender people and issues. Today we are outside of the Times building to send a clear message. https://t.co/IkQocpsG5q

@LisaHenryOnline Deeply love the wordiness of this title!

There's been discourse around reviews on sites like Goodreads. For what it's worth ~as an author~ I believe Goodreads is for readers to log whatever they want. If you feel like one starring my books without reviewing, go ahead. Life's short. Do what feels right.

“No one goes to the library anymore—” speak for yourself, brah. Library use has been steadily rising. Folks under forty use libraries in massive numbers. Libraries have become essential, all-purpose community centers.

But where will men explain things to me

Update: it took 12 days to reach me but, as cute as I find the animated characters next to the path, the update makes Duolingo a slog.

[Willow Scarlett @Willow_Writes]

First priority this morning was checking the Duolingo app to see if the update was ready for download 🦉👀

[Duolingo @duolingo]

Many of you are starting to see a big change to the Duolingo learning path. ✨

This new look to the home screen is designed to better guide you through your lessons. And don’t worry: you won’t lose any of your progress!
