Lili Saintcrow (lilithsaintcrow@raggedfeathers.com)'s status on Thursday, 27-Jun-2024 04:41:31 JST Lili Saintcrow It's absolutely wild to me that we're seeing the legitimizing of a mass theft occur, right out in the open. The question is no longer, "how will we hold 'AI' corporations accountable for the thievery they've committed?" but "how do we allow them to monetize what they stole?".
Just *bizarre*.

Lili Saintcrow (lilithsaintcrow@raggedfeathers.com)'s status on Friday, 14-Jun-2024 06:28:18 JST Lili Saintcrow Thanks to release day nerves, publishing fuckery, and email newsletter platform shenanigans, I am so far behind I will never catch up.
Might as well just reshuffle the schedule and resentfully admit I live here now.

My daughter: "...this should be good."
Me: "No no, it doesn't end in fire. At least, not totally?"

My daughter: "About why you're not trusted with pyrokinesis?"
Me: "No, I know THAT part. The lesson was, be grateful."

My daughter: *in tones of surpassing horror* "Oh, I don't want to."
Me: "Precisely. My powers of restraint are legendary, yet finite."

Lili Saintcrow (lilithsaintcrow@raggedfeathers.com)'s status on Thursday, 06-Jun-2024 06:46:20 JST Lili Saintcrow I will absolutely take the worst, gaudiest, most horrid amateurish Poser book cover created by an actual human over an "AI"-generated one any day.
And believe me, my friends, I have had some utter HOWLERS slapped on my poor books. Still exponentially better than plagiarism soup.
