I've mentioned before I've updated my contracts to make sure everything in the production of my books is done by humans and not "AI"; if you're wondering what such a thing looks like, here's a clause covering that from a recent contract.

The UK countryside is full of interdimensional portals. You just have to know where to look. I've decided to make a thread here of some of the best ones I've found on walks. 1. JRR Tolkien's Psychedelic Lime Kiln.

Anybody supporting the B4-16 ban, this is what you, as adults, will face (it is not just under-16s that will have to verify their age). It will breach S14 of the NZ Bill of Rights Act 1990, endanger isolated young ppl who find their communities online, and give big tech more access to your data.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

This is my new business covering my fiction, my courses, my non-fiction, my dance, my rituals, everything. I am going to need everyone to hype me up, share me around, tell your friends. We're going to save the world with weirdness, magic, and being the main character in our own stories.

Maybe we should start an awareness campaign about NZ First candidates & why they "left" their previous party. For example, Michael Laws had his parliamentary secretary forge a signature to grant a contract to a company part owned by his wife. #nzpol
