Reflections after reading @greatdismal.bsky.social's Spook Country.

We're in primal stage of Capitalism where once again humankind must survive the harsh conditions of a planet they're actively making harder to live on. We literally have to rewire our brains to remember how to survive as a species. We're dumber than early humans dog. 😭
Dear Google, I really do mean 'flence' and not 'fleece' so if you could stop auto-correcting this word in my doc, I'd appreciate it.

me in any conversation about anything lately:
A lot of this really is that beloved friend, with the worst taste conceivable, convinced they've generated a masterpiece.
Also, multi-player mode. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. "It helps me bounce ideas of." Saddest shit I've ever heard, where are your friends and collaborators. 😭
This one?

Yes. Lmao.
When I see, don't take my word for it. Just try it! Prompt it with your latest work and see how sophisticated it is. All I see is feed the machine your best ideas so it can rip you off, help if rip off all your friends IP, and waste a bunch of electricity and water for shits and giggles.
Can't stop thinking about that YT video where the dude asked people who AI generate music who their favorite AI artist is and none of them could answer. 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, cool. Will take the pics and get back to you.
I have ideas haunting me everywhere I go, screaming write me write me!
And I mean that I find it sad for those people that they can only bounce ideas off a chat bot and never experience the joys of human collaboration.Also makes suspect you don't want to bounce ideas, you want a sycophantic yes man to tell you you're brilliant, but I digress.
There's also a whole crowd of people who seemingly have no friends or collaborators. Seen this in the music generation stuff, people saying they get to bounce their music ideas off it, and her fresh perspective. What do you think band members do all day when writing a studio album? It's very sad.
🤣🤣🤣Two things. The it helps me come up with ideas crowd confuse me a bit because I have note books and notebooks of ideas. That's the easiest part. Then there's the I can churn out more work faster by automating the time consuming parts. Fair enough, but also, no thanks. I'd rather be slow.
Publisher: Did you make any use of GenAI?
Me: Bro that manuscript tried to kill me 20 times while I was writing and editing it. I've seen the whites of its eyes as it tried to strangle the life out of me. There are horrors in life GenAI could not even begin to imagine.
What an Amazing Book Launch in London, UK! 🚀💫
Even with the cold and rain, London did not disappoint with all the love & support for Sauúti Terrors. Editors @genni.bsky.social Cheryl S. Ntumy,
& @stephenembleton.bsky.social were joined by fellow Sauúti Jude Umeh reading excerpts and great Q&A.
🚀 An amazing night at the Flame Tree Press Sauúti Horrors anthology launch, where I caught @stephenembleton.bsky.social and @genni.bsky.social and met the wonderful Cheryl Ntumy and Jude Umeh.
This sci-fi universe is 100% African and bursting with detail. Get it today wherever you find your books!
