I now post over at mastoart.social/@thatwritere... due to BlueSky leaders' apparent #slop addiction - But regarding slop, the 🇩🇪 #book distributors #Tredition + #epubli (aka #selfpublishing corps), are apparently eager to feed US #AI all manuscripts. No opt out. #noai #llm #books #reading #writing

Might also be worth trying to make these orgs and agencies more aware of this and to encourage them to push back publicly against this practice: www.selfpublisher-verband.de kulturstaatsminister.de www.literaturkonferenz.de (No idea if it'll help, just an idea.)
Many big #publishers in #book publishing seem to be trying to wet their toes: www.forbes.com/sites/rashis... If you want to have #writers create #books without having it all fed to #AI companies before it's even released, please speak up. Even if you're a #reader or #booktok reviewer or such.

Proof: tredition.com/datenschutz/ If you don't like it, tell them: tredition.com/support/kont... Or tell epubli (who told me they're considering the same): www.epubli.com/kontakt Help stop the #slop infecting book publishers & distributors.

this is really sad 😰 cuba doesn't deserve this
Cuba has run out of diesel and fuel oil and is enduring some of the worst blackouts in decades because of the US’s cruel oil blockade. This failed policy needs to end immediately. Every day, we are contributing to immense suffering in Cuba and a worsening humanitarian crisis.

In mid 2026, the EU apparently wants most not-low-risk discussion platforms (so is that all of them, beyond social media?) to start strict age checks: digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/c... Don't ask me why not everyone is talking about this... I don't know.

I might be misreading, but the EU-wide verification seems to already have been decided: bsky.app/profile/that... As per already released guidance that is scheduled to become mandatory in mid 2026. Somehow, I have seen pretty much zero press about it. #EU #surveillance #privacy

seems like BlueSky is fanatically pro gen AI coding now, despite apparent plagiarism and the ethics. time to jump ship? (on the plagiarism: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/... lcamtuf.substack.com/p/large-lang... don't trust me, read for yourself) #NoAI #AntiAI #AI #ScrewAI #AISlop
