"Science fiction lends itself readily to imaginative subversion of any status quo. Bureaucrats and politicians, who can't afford to cultivate their imaginations, tend to assume it's all ray-guns and nonsense, good for children." - Ursula K. Le Guin (2012) [Anthology idea: Ray-guns and Nonsense]

More and more, I'm keep running into writers who say they use genAI to produce either ideas or some kind of first draft or both. A writer friend on a collaborative project said the other guy used genAI to create ideas, and he (friend) couldn't keep up. I suppose this is the future. But not mine.

Their lack of shame and empathy was a beacon of confidence." Frankenstein/ Pearce, 'How to Make a Monster'

You know, they never stop at one group. Never. They come for one, they (eventually) come for all. They start with the smallest because they know the others will go about their business, thinking it will never happen to them. We should all be thinking about this. Because they will get to you.
