Just a reminder that Scribble font exists to make your writing unreadable. Why would you want to do this, you ask? 🤔 - To write continuously without editing yourself (popular) - You’re writing a certain genre of story around *polite* company 👀 (very popular) Let's just say our users love it 🙈

❗️Important❗️Before going offline, open each document and draft you plan to work on offline. Ellipsus works from the copy most recently loaded onto your device, so documents you haven’t opened yet may not be available once you lose your connection.

We love writing for its mad obsessions and singular randomness: those personal quirks that make it human. More important than polish is the amount of yourself you put into it.

Writing is an endless experiment. Take risks, write wild, and let yourself be a hot mess—it’s the only way to grow! 🌱🌱

Opposition to generative AI is *everywhere*, but AI propaganda doesn’t want you to know that. The vast majority of people want human art, not AI counterfeits.

Ellipsus
@ellipsus.com

Ellipsus stands against the normalization of generative AI in creative spaces. We are building our tool for the millions of you who share this belief. Real art is always and forever human.

Pangram once again being weaponized to damage careers without checks or balances 🤦 This is a very harmful trend for writers. AI verifiers should *not* be allowed to decide questions of human authorship (especially when their errors and biases are so well documented!) shorturl.at/lLBiy

Issues of human authenticity demand human judgment and human means—delegating this to a machine just plays into the hands of Big Tech/AI.

OK. @ellipsus.com is cool. Importing all those google docs won't be much fun. Or at least, it'll be a bit slow going. But likely worth it in the end. It's a commitment, a bet, an investment of sorts into this hobby. For a lifelong writer, it's about time.

“The future is AI.” No. The future is human communities organised around equality and creative freedom. Human creativity is the future.

When writers face dark times, we stand together. Our demands: - No genAI in writing tools and publishing. - No scraping or feeding work to LLMs. - Protections for human authorship. Emboss is one among a suite of tools we’re designing at Ellipsus to support, advance, and defend human creativity.

Ellipsus@ellipsus.com

Let’s face it, being a writer these days can feel a little scary. AI slopification, ominous algos… In this uncanny valley, how can human writers show that their work is their own? This spooky season, one writer stumbles upon a source of hope… Introducing Ellipsus Emboss, a short film.
