And a writer won't need to be prolific to see their market diluted (at least for 450 words, for now). The results didn't vary based on how large the dataset for an emulated author was.

Depressing, but as the paper discusses, the work bolsters a market dilution arguments against LLM training as fair use.

"[The technology] would not fully replace prominent writers."

What about writers not selling like his examples, Rowling and Maas? Vile. Just vile.

I adore Witch King and I'm so looking forward to this. And I'm dreading it just a little because I'm scared for Kai.

"Last" chapter?! What a journey it's been.

Fabulous title!

Thanks! "Pagans" was such a delight! Totally worth ordering it from UK.

Mine was so beautifully wrapped I didn't want to open it. 😍

Great, now I have Yes stuck in my head. 🤣

Sweet!!

We also grew up with a profound distrust of government and institutions. Maybe that primed too many of us for right-wing conspiracy theories and MAGA.

This sounds amazing!

And there's my overseas impulse purchase for the day.

This looks fabulous! Thanks for highlighting it.

Missing from this article is the reason why this model was developed. Is there a dearth of novels? Is writing a novel something humans can't do unaided?

Sweet!!! Thank you. :)

That was great. Thanks so much for doing that.

Thanks for this. Appropriate read for today. I think the tech bros and right wingers have been priming us for years for this by devaluing the humanities and reducing all art, all forms of human expression to "content."

AI: The New Aesthetics of Fascism It's embarrassing, destructive, and looks like shit: AI-generated art is the perfect aesthetic form for the far right.

Interesting piece on the aesthetic and theoretical links between AI "art" and the far right.

"[The right] want to assert, simultaneously, that unambiguous laws govern all aspects of being, while acting as though ‘truth’ is whatever they want or need it to be at any given moment."

If he's going to feed this into a LLM, then more garbage the better.

So excited for this (almost as excited as for the sequel to Witch King)! I think Alexander Skarsgård is going to kill it.

Thank you. Exactly what I needed, when I needed it.

I suggest taking a look at the opposition. It presents the issue with less hyperbole and puts the "offensive" material in context.

I'm more of a lurker. Fan of your work, but have really appreciated your posts about Florida environmental issues.

Congratulations!! So looking forward to this (and man do I need things to look forward to these days).

They are on hiatus for a couple of months. I believe because Wes is on a shoot.

He does start out as an insufferable stereotypical hero, but he grows into a very different character. A character I'd argue is a-typical, even subversive, for a male protagonist.
