The government is about to give OpenAI the ability to legally steal if we do not flood this page in the next 12 hours.

OpenAI will have immunity from all lawsuits regarding copyright infringement. All other AI companies will follow.

Do you despise AI? Dissent, retweet. Do something. #furry #art

Rembrandt, graffiti, and the strange disappearance of ducks The alert comes screaming in on Jana’s implant, bright light lancing through the fog of REM sleep: [New glyph. Intersection of 148th and Cliffton.]

β€œRembrandt, graffiti, and the strange disappearance of ducks” by C.H. Irons has a neat investigation into some mysterious graffiti interspersed with a sharp, personal tale of longing for the restoration of a fractured relationship strangehorizons.com/fiction/remb...

This is the first year my short fiction has been out in the world β€” and the first year it's eligible for awards.

If you're a Hugo/Nebula/Locus-voting person, I'd be honored if you'd give these stories a read. Links to all can be found on my website: ch-irons.com

Psyched to have a new story out in the current issue of Strange Horizons β€” "Rembrandt, graffiti, and the strange disappearance of ducks"

A little story about love, loss, art, and what the hell it all means. Check it out here: strangehorizons.com/fiction/remb...

Hello, sky app. Now that I've done the fun part of writing (getting stories published), I have to do the not-fun part (shouting about said stories into the void and hoping somebody notices).

Anyway, check out this story in @escapepod.org about fortune tellers, AI and the magic of the Jersey Shore.
