You’ll be happy to know I’m the one who’s written of your body’s superlative afflictions (congrats btw) (also I wrote one of the ghost eroticas).

Local TV has downplayed it as "hundreds" or "thousands." You'd think a visual medium would appreciate the spectacle. State patrol estimated crowd at 25-30k.

Actually that last rt is getting me in terms of info: to see the DOE proposed rollback on reqs for accessibility in new construction, go here www.regulations.gov/document/DOE..., and read it, then comment. You could use the LRT as a template, but it's always good to mix it up a little.

As an addendum to the last tweet, in case anyone finds the linked page confusing, you can see the full regulation and the option to comment by going to www.regulations.gov

Please take your post-protest energy and put it towards an action you can take right now: make a public comment to protect the ADA

We don’t stop till everyone is safe

when i worked on that one block of uptown, we'd get ppl coming in all the time asking about how badly a loss of parking had affected our business. (it had little to no consequences i could see, beyond ppl asking about it all the time.)

Everything’s a competition in this cutthroat business world. What if I have to fire myself for poor performance? Shameful.

sometimes you are visiting family and you realize you are living in two different worlds and you start to feel like the joker. fellas … we live in a society …

I think we are not the target audience for, perhaps, anything here.

to be fair, sitting in a suburb in ks watching a chiefs game while struggling w the enormity of the betrayal surrounding u is also like. cliche in the same way, so. only so much you can do

... and the reasoning behind that AI's creation, her journey thru becoming embodied, and her relationship with the people around her can intersect with ideas about LLMs briefly without that being the focus. The point is she's expected to act one way and acts another, and that scares ppl.

Or in Remember You Will Die by Eden Robins, making our frame character an AI AND a mother means we go in asking qs about memory, grief, what family is, bodily autonomy, motherhood. There's a bit early on formatted like an autocomplete search query that started to make the novel click for me ...

And Horatio makes the most sense to be an AI because he's always the witness to Hamlet's story, a man of lower status who has to follow the social codes of his time/space ... much like AI-Horatio is constrained by his programming. He's everywhere and yet can only do so much.

In The Death I Gave Him by Em X Liu, Horatio is an AI bc in a story about death & escaping it, having a character who is a machine intelligence opens up more conversations about what life and death are, who is alive and who is not, is there a ghost? There COULD be a ghost.

idk i think it will be a shame if people shy away from writing or buying stories surrounding AI because of the Current Craze, bc ... Dirty Computer is not about computers. R.U.R. is not about literal mechanized workers.

literally nothing worse (there are many things worse) than being a scifi author who loves writing AI & robots in the Current Era of Tech. forever grateful i didn't query my novel a year or two ago. see perfectionism & retooling your ideas is good, actually, even if then you seem less Prescient.

(like i know this was a rhetorical q you then answer for yourself, but i think good sf is curious about what tech/science can do, but isn't beholden to engaging directly with a pop sci/pop tech understanding; rather, tech & science are resources, inspiration, and points of reflection.)

I think the thing is that AI are often a metaphor for something else in sf? They're a flexible & potent tool, and what writers mean by "AI" and what tech means by "AI" are often different things, and I think evolving the language we use to indicate that separation can be necessary.

Photo of a book called Spaceling by Doris Piserchia. The illustration shows a large dinosaur-like creature standing on an alien planet.

Wait I just realized you can post whatever you want on Social Media. Look at this book I got at Dreamhaven. The creature on the cover is a goth (it was published in 1978).

im sitting here trying to think of a book em's recommended to me that hasn't ended up being a complete banger, but i can't. baru, dungeon meshi, unkindness of ghosts, sodom road exit, on and on, consistent slam dunks, and this is my competition!! ugh!!

In all honesty, I'm extremely excited to be working on this w/ Em. It's great to have something to be excited about, even if it DOES involve forms & taxes & the slow creeping realization one is going to need to do things like "hire an accountant" and "consort with the devil (ingram)"

the horrible realization, upon starting to use a new platform, that one only has photos with at least one other person present in frame. literally any other image i can find has a corner of my wife's glasses frames visible
