The chief writer in residence takes a well deserved break ❤️☕

1. We have plenty of hope. Try not to get dragged about by briefings too much. Understand we are in an information war with an opponent. That opponent is trying to set the agenda with timely briefings that make us give up.
But scratch beneath the surface and GenAI is very unpopular in the arts.

Hey 2025 debut authors! Respond to this post with the title of your book, a link to buy it, and at least one cool thing about it.

Let's make it easy to find new voices.

Great book.

Certainly not cheering for it. Everybody needs to hold the line.

Fantastic ending to Baroness Kidron's speech in the House of Lords yesterday, which led to the government's defeat on AI & copyright.

Speaking the UK's creators: "Their property, their labour, is worthy of your protection - because apart from anything else, it is not ours to give away."

Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks Amazon brand will offer more than 100 artificial intelligence-generated voices in English and other languages

Hate this a lot. Value human creators, writers, artists, narrators, editors -- everyone in the chain of making a book and putting it out into the world should be a human being. Humans make art for humans.

P.S. fuck AI -- eat shit, artbarf robots

What's even the justification!

(1) IN GENERAL.—Except as provided in para6 graph (2), no State or political subdivision thereof 7 may enforce any law or regulation regulating artifi8 cial intelligence models, artificial intelligence sys9 tems, or automated decision systems during the 10- 10 year period beginning on the date of the enactment 11 of this Act.

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years.

Being an artist is like "when i finish this art project i am going to reward myself for working so hard by making this new art project"

Over and over until you die.

Meta is training AI on your data. Users say opting out doesn’t work. Meta promised users that they can opt out of giving access to their social media content for AI training. Some are saying that the exit tool doesn't work.

🇪🇺🚨Facebook/Instagram is restarting training AI on your data🚨🇪🇺

They offer Opt-out, but OPT-OUT doesn't work conceptually!
People re-upload other people's work and photos on social media ALL THE TIME.

Let's do something about it.
👇 CALL TO ACTION 👇

Or write one...

I think with any 'rule' you want to examine the reason it exists, then make an individual judgement on if that applies to you in each specific case. Not follow blindly.

It's such a massive meme now though that it's almost impossible to kill.
It's infected reader expectation even.

Show not tell is the most annoying advice. On our MA we were shouted at pretty sternly if we mentioned it. It comes from screenwriting, where subtext is essential. But it sacrifices part of the uniqueness of written narrative.
Really, you want a balance of show, tell, and introspect.

It's AI generated.

Prob best not to enable one of the very worst of them, by using their image generator then?

"Those who have drank the AI Kool-Aid don't understand that all this brainstorming and iteration *is* making the game, it’s a crucial everyday part of game development (and human interaction) and is not a problem to be solved.”

Excellent, many thanks.

Hi there. Is it possible to get added to this list? Thanks!

Congrats.

Even the ministers that have been blinded by them up to now, will surely be able to see it.

This is maybe a good development. It shows them for what they truly are.

Yeah. We need to push them hard.
I think we need to be less pleading about it overall. Not so much 'this is a hard battle we are likely to lose,' more, 'we will not accept this'.

Ah. Fair enough. I thought they might be ARCs. Give it time then and they should trickle through. Sometimes it takes a little while.
