Gen AI might help you write that paper/CV which might help you get that grade/job…but will any of that matter when the earth is no longer liveable? I honestly don’t get how people aren’t getting that this tech is absolutely fucking the future of the actual planet over.

If you’re a creator or work in the creative industries or otherwise have a heart, then please add your voice to this UK Gov consultation on AI and Copyright. I said ‘freelance’ for company and ‘unsure’ for super-granular legal stuff but made my voice heard. You can too. www.gov.uk/government/c...

ITS A SCAM! Publishers DON’T charge YOU to make YOUR books, they PAY you. These guys aren’t tryna “Disrupt” anything, they’re depending on people who are desperately looking to be published to part with their money. It’s far cheaper to learn to write or self publish.

Thank you so much to Charlotte Eyre and The Bookseller for making Beastie Bros a 'One to Watch' in their February previews! A pre-order or two would be very welcome!
