For a while now I have had this icky feeling that a lot of our use of AI is us just using it to find examples to show each other how bad AI is and TBH I think we should probably all stop doing that cause excessive energy consumption doesn't differentiate between real use and joke use. 😬

And lo! With giant teenager dragged out of bed and a fresh supply of #tea, I return to the opening of this manuscript.
Who are these characters? What are they doing and why are they doing it? Where do the bad guys come from and what do they want?
The process by which a synopsis becomes a book! :)

imagine how much great art could have been created if we took a fraction of the money spent on getting computers to make shitty art and gave it to actual artists

Is there a list anywhere of companies/platforms who are AI-free? Affinity Vimeo Nintendo CARA Trying to find anything on Google is (predictably) really unhelpful.

Right. Need to finally start writing properly this morning.
Have done all the reading and made all the notes, made notes on my notes, printed out and underlined my notes (really need a second screen), and completed my four-day work gauntlet.
And #tea :)

Affinity are extending their trial period to 6 months if you'd like to see if you can use it as an alternative to Adobe products. And if you like it, it's a one off payment not a monthly fee. I did all my cover design in Affinity Designer and the paperback formatting in Affinity Publisher.

Great thread. My q: when the bottom finally falls out, what happens to businesses and NGOs and govt agencies that have integrated some useful AI steps in their work? Do they all disappear or get too expensive to run? Or will some of these existing models persist?

Anyway #tea, and a late shift today.
A four-day work gauntlet always leaves me absolutely drained, but looking forward to time at home from tomorrow, and to working out where I'd actually got to with starting the next book.

And then, the murders started'.

I spent <years> using (mostly) Twitter, but other platforms as well, both personally and professionally, to promote myself, my writing, and the Brand I worked for. The loss of this is absolutely devastating, a blow to creatives and small businesses everywhere.

And France likewise rejects its slide into Fascism. Even the birdsite (peeking over the wall) is celebrating, which should tell the techbros and manipulators all they need to know. People do matter, they can stand up and be heard and be counted. I'd almost forgotten what 'hope' felt like.

To all these papers talking about Sunak and a ‘disastrous campaign’…
A reminder that the #torywipeout was a team effort, by the whole Party, and over many years of sustained horror.
The end was just the cherry on the icing on the cake 🍒

Can I trust it? Will he really listen to junior doctors and take care of the NHS? Do we finally - after 14 years! - have someone who will do what's best for the country and not for his mates? I realise he's not perfect, but dear dogs, this has to be a better deal.

Losing the Tories is like coming out of a toxic relationship - it doesn't feel quite real. Starmer is an actual PM. His Manifesto makes sense. He's appointing ministers who know what they're doing. He's cancelled Rwanda, and is talking about re-nationalising the railways. Is this happening?

Absolutely with you on the Brexit thing, but he’s done a huge amount of work with ex-cons… and that’s the hat he’s been given. And hopefully, he’s seen the error of his Eurosceptic ways…

We've been pressed into using GPT and imitaters more at work, and as a senior writer asked to review a lot of this work, I 100% resent being asked to edit its garbage output. It's not only generic, it's chockful of filler words and plagued by superfluous use of adverbs and prepositional phrases.
