Writer Beware has gotten complaints that Word Alliance Literary Agency (not really a lit agency) is contacting writers to offer editing jobs. The "jobs" are already-published books, w/ pmt on completion; scam then asks for writer's bank account info. Discussion here: www.reddit.com/r/writing/co...

So many excellent turns of phrase. Think I'll pick out 'Coup Klux Klan'.

The 1918 Reform Act gave 8 million women the vote & an additional 5 million men. It tripled the electorate, disfranchised conscientious objectors & came within hours of abolishing First Past the Post. Its forging out of the horrors of war is an amazing story, that deserves to be much better known.

‘Google and OpenAI had been invited to appear, but had declined. They may feel their access to power in Britain is sufficiently good that they don’t need to bother with mere MPs.’ Hope someone involved in the Government’s AI consultation reads this excellent piece.

This article says that if you DON'T implement Apple Intelligence, your iPhone will eventually give you access to the space taken up by it on your device. www.macrumors.com/how-to/save-...

If the only criterion for something’s success is that it’s the most financially profitable use of a space, we’re going to have a pretty shitty world. You can always make more money out of something by squeezing it differently. The question is: is that all there is?

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

This whole thread is worth reading, but it sure sounds like Microsoft decided to make Office 365 unusable for the entire legal profession and anyone else who needs to limit AI/LLM access due to client privilege or confidentiality obligations.

This is really shocking: and true. I discovered I'd just been upgraded without consent to an AI-enshittified package that was about £30 a year more expensive. Strongly recommend anyone who has an Office 365 follow the below advice to get rid of it

Disabled campaigners have raised serious concerns about the fairness of the committee of MPs that is carrying out detailed examination of a bill to legalise assisted suicide, after it prevented any disabled people’s organisations from giving evidence in person.

love this "The program, called Nepenthes after the genus of carnivorous pitcher plants which trap and consume their prey, can be deployed by webpage owners to protect their own content from being scraped or can be deployed 'offensively' as a honeypot trap to waste AI companies’ resources."

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

At a time when audio drama and entertainment is having a moment, it seems short-sighted of the BBC to cut their radio drama slots. Still, that is what they have been quietly doing. Sign the petition opposing their latest cuts. chng.it/V6QyDwkfbp

I think I’m correct in saying that if you did this in Germany, you’d be lifted and charged.
