I would be very interested to know how much money has been spent on these "tools" that no one in their right mind at the Big 5 wants to use, all while there's never any money to market and publicize midlist authors

Adam Morgan@adamm0rgan.bsky.social

For @wired.com, I spoke with Macmillan and PRH staff about AI at the rest of the Big Five. I also spoke with bestselling authors who've gone to "war" with publishers over AI use and are now demanding disclosures and threatening to leave their publishers altogether. www.wired.com/story/macmil...

Trump's closing message for Republicans ahead of the midterms: Bigotry and bragging about how expensive food is at his private club. Democrats' closing message ahead of the midterms: Accountability, affordability, and shifting the balance of power towards working people. Vote accordingly.

Trump's affordability message: "You could even come to Mar-a-Lago. You'll be my guest. The problem is that for $5,000 the most you'll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I'm not even sure you could buy that! No, don't go there. It's not a good place if you're price conscious."

1. We have lost a giant. Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers, a legendary civil rights leader, and one of the most consequential labor leaders of the past century, has died at 96.

Maybe he should have said it looked like Saddam Hussein raped a Cheesecake Factory.

Much easier for the media to lock in on faux Cheesecake Factory outrage than a House Dem report indicating Todd Blanche basically told Ghislaine Maxwell "stop talking" when she was about to discuss a girl that could more closely tie Trump to Epstein

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

All options have to be on the table is the easiest, best answer! It's literally true and confident. And it's also almost impossible to parse.

Andrea Pitzer@andreapitzer.bsky.social

I don't understand why so many people are eager to say what kinds of accountability Democrats should *not* seek after the election. I get why candidates and those already in office want to drive attention to what they think *should* be done. But why take things off the table before November 3?

We, internationally, need to do exactly what the Brazilians did and lead by example with: 1) Block all far right figures/accounts 2) Never share a far right account even to dunk on them 3) Never reply to a far right account even to dunk on them Completely cut their algorithmic advantage

"Specialists" are gonna focus on how we fought the algorithm, but a huge part of it was actually about people being on the streets educating others and changing their opinions. News media refused to tell people about the crimes and intentions of the bolsonaro family, so we did that ourselves.

This is fascinating, because it’s also happening to me (Writer Beware): emails saying a chatbot suggested the person contact me about a suspected scam or scam reports that have obviously been put together by ChatGPT. Or both.

Jason Koebler@jasonkoebler.bsky.social

In the last few weeks i've been bombarded with emails from people who have minor tech support problems. ChatGPT is telling them to email me, writing their emails, and compiling "evidence packets" after convincing them they have stumbled on a major story: www.404media.co/chatgpt-keep...

It’s fairly clear most people don’t appreciate the escalation in language, so here’s a comparison of when AG Bonta went for the mat for trans kids and refused to let a hate group dress up theirs as anything other than discrimination. 2023. Notice the framing difference compared to today’s ballots.

Jesspooka Kant 🎃@jessdkant.bsky.social

None of these anti-trans initiatives and referendums are about granting rights— all of them, every one— is about taking them away. Imagine feeling like the whole country is trying to decide if you count as fully human, and mustering up the courage to go to school. I promise you are not that brave.

For several days I have been hearing rumors of an ICE detainee death that ICE was not reporting. I've just learned a local journalist has confirmed it and will publish soon. Now I read this and see there are actually TWO deaths ICE is not reporting. www.daylightsandiego.org/ice-detainee...
