Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

Would you like a little rest?

I made this little video for you. It’s just trees. A small creek. Nothing happens. It’s 2 minutes long.

Important point here that AI clones don’t just violate your personality rights, they also risk your professional reputation.

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

NEW: Grammarly got hit with a class-action lawsuit this afternoon over its AI "expert review" feature that uses real experts' likenesses without their consent. @juliaangwin.com is the only named plaintiff. @milesklee.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/gramma...

Grammarly will keep using authors’ identities without permission unless they opt out expertoptout@superhuman.com.

Hey Professors! Grammarly is using author name and writing likeness without permission, and there's a decent chance they'll start doing it for us, too.

Here's how to opt out (below). But where is the class action lawsuit?

One reviewer used AI to review our manuscript.

How do we know?

Suggested papers to cite that do not exist. Some titles correct, but everything else is wrong or just fabricated out of whole cloth.

Requested citations for things I’ve said in review papers that were citing other papers.
