News from the world of companies using AI to cheat, lie, and steal. Share this story. It is despicable, and what’s worse, in due time it’s going to be tragically typical and unremarkable. Unless we fight them. NOW. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Funny, every writer in the UK knows how it'd work. You'd ask @alcs.co.uk to organise it. Seeing as how it's EXACTLY WHAT THEY ALREADY DO.

I’ve just been alerted that someone is pretending to be from Bluemoose asking for people to edit scripts and to send them their bank details for payment. We have our own editorial team and this is a scam. Take care. Kevin.

However, 238 authors and agents were collectively owed £657,000 by the failed business and are also unlikely to receive a dividend, along with the nearly 8,000 website customers owed £391,000. Speechless.

In the news: In which we learn that our leaders find it easier to believe "AI is the future" than to believe that actual, living human beings who make art for a living have rights and deserve respect. Our consent doesn't matter to them. Only appeasing the tech bros matters.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 118: Don't just write what you know. But make sure you know what you're writing about. That means due diligence; research; talking to people with specialist expertise or experience. And it means never stop learning; exploring; questioning; listening; being curious.
