And the excuse for feeding billions of stories into 'AI' to generate audiobooks? 'It's really expensive to host an illegal clone of one of the largest and most popular sites on the web - who knew?' 🙄 🙄 🙄
'They burned the Library of Alexandria again.'
'Huh, did they? Must be Tuesday.'
The wholesale theft of stories as a response to AO3 being down is really getting me down, guys.
And you know what's fucked up? The theft of billions of stories isn't even in the news.
I know in the age of 'AI' I shouldn't be surprised, but this is huge, actually. And no one gives a shit because it's fanfic. And *fans* did this. Because they value fancreators so little and feel so entitled to free fiction that they can't wait a couple of week to *reread* stories.
It sucks. It all sucks.
#ScribesAndMakers 30 October:
Share some words of wisdom (yours or someone else's.)
In memory of the incomparable Patrick Stewart. Here are a few words from Captain Picard that are truly wise:
AO3 is down for 2-4 weeks 😭 but if you like hot characters in angsty SF&F situations, might I suggest consoling yourself with my some of my books?

I try to take these things charitably, but the assumption in this question is actually pretty offensive.
#WritersCoffeeClub 26 Sept: How does your faith feature in your works?
Why have you assumed I have a faith? I don't.
#ScribesAndMakers 14 Sept: What's your favourite type of story setting?
I don't have a single favourite, but I would prefer it to be speculative in some way. I read to escape the real world.
Today I have mostly been sick and very annoyed about this Anthropic nonsense. And the fact that anyone is taking the idea of super-intelligent AGI within 10 years seriously.
Listen: I love imagining the science fiction, but that's what it is: SCIENCE FICTION. We are NOWHERE NEAR IT, and we won't be in 10 years.
We may be up the creek without a rudder due to lack of safeguards on the planet-destroying theft machines, but they are just a TINY piece of the puzzle needed for machine mindedness.
>confined to the house. Her energy levels are through the roof. Yes, SOME cats can be happy spending their whole lives indoors (although I do believe for most of them the quality of their lives are significantly less), but she can't. You've not had to deal with her. You think you could train her, but you couldn't. Not all cats are the same.
5. I didn't have a cat for 20 years because I didn't live somewhere it would have been safe to let them out. Now I do.
What applies to you is not universal.
North Americans (or anyone else, but it's usually them) who wanna tell me to keep my cat indoors can just go ahead and block me to save me the time of blocking you.
1. There are no mountain lions, eagles, or coyotes in the UK. She will not be killed by them.
2. It is impossible to go down my road or the roads around it at more than 5mph.
3. Cats have been here for over 10,000 years; she is not going to unbalance the ecology by hunting.
4. You don't know my cat. She's desperately unhappy when>

#WritersCoffeeClub 26 Aug: What are good examples of texts written from a non-human point of view?
I enjoy Murderbot a lot. I don't actually think (genuine) artificial intelligence would be wildly different from us, and I appreciate that the text reflects this.
Also, might I suggest... my own books? Which realise my philosophical perspective on the matter in spicy romance form...?

>purpose, but it undeniably does it on a much smaller budget than the other movies I mentioned, and in that sense I would say you could call it 'less well made'. It's not a masterpiece of cinema, but it is a really fun, silly watch.
(Obvs I put Waterworld in as a red herring, but I am judging those who took the bait.)
