whether it's here to 'take my job' or not is one thing -- but transparency and accountability on where the training material came from, whether consent from the original writers was given, and whether there was fair compensation for it... kinda another thing?

Sudowrite is founded by writers for writers. It's not here to take your job - it's here to help unlock and enhance your creative abilities. Their new feature, Story Engine, is pretty fun to play with! https://twitter.com/jamesjyu/status/1658933765824192512

So, what's the business plan for products like Sudowrite?

It's not writing mainstream books; there are already more GOOD novels published than anyone could every possibly read, people are cranking out great stuff or $3,000 advances and the *glory of publishing*, right?

With every new radical ruling and every new ethics scandal, the Supreme Court faces more and more of a legitimacy crisis. We must #ExpandTheCourt to rebalance it, and we must institute a binding code of ethics for the justices.

It’s been just over a year since the Dobbs decision was leaked, and there were three words on my mind that night.

How dare they attack our health care system, our fundamental rights, and the freedom of the women of America to make decisions about their bodies.

Considering all the harm the Catholic Church has done to queer people over the last two thousand years… a few of us making fun of your outfits (while performing good works) is pretty harmless way for a persecuted community to channel its anger.

This is absolutely true and I'll never understand it because no one really likes us. People are chasing a kind of cultural capital certain upper-class, mostly white male, writers had in the 20th century. It doesn't exist anymore.

A.I. in writing spaces is another example of people wanting to be treated as “a writer” rather than write. I have noticed this obsession in the writing community, my students, my clients. They place value around the image and the connected social capital over praxis.

All writing is about the journey of creation just as much as it is about the final product. You can’t separate one from the other. Storytelling is a window into human experiences that are so fundamental we become blind to them. The only way to open the window is to fumble.

Usually you’re still stuck in the stage where you think everyone is looking at you. Seeing someone who doesn’t seem to know everyone is looking at them makes you anxious. So you get angry at them for contrasting your anxiety with their lack of anxiety.

I’m going to be a mom this year and I can’t imagine taking my baby out in public for hours at a time.

It’s a nuisance to the public, especially if the baby is crying.

If I need to breastfeed so badly, I would go home or to a more private… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1658213742620844057

if AI wrote your book, you're not a writer. not being a writer is okay! maybe it means sitting there for a while holding the feeling in your hands like a light but pointy seedpod you picked up on a walk in the woods. you do have to hold it to understand it though.
