Just popping in to say that my story "Waystations Lost" has been accepted by @seizethepress.bsky.social. Trivia that will probably never come up otherwise: the story was inspired by a single phrase in Blood Cultures' "Glass."

Any time the media wants to quit believing all the horseshit that OpenAI is shoveling, that'd be amazing. A computer cannot be "playful," it does not have "moods." It will not "sing" or "write poetry." It does nothing but return a probabilistic outcome based on what it's told. That is IT.
