Your world's economic system is horribly broken. How is that made apparent?
Interactive fiction. 48-ish choices. Two main storylines.
Follow the adventures of a roboticist and an artist, Karee & Talia, as they try to solve mysteries, explore science, and go to the moon.
Anyone who is blind, or who has worked with the blind, knows how expensive our technology can be. This couldn't be more true with relation to braille displays. Even the cheapest costs at least $799, and it's already behind the newest in that line, at $899. This is the Orbit Reader 20 and 20+. Now, a student in India wants to change that by creating a display that is truly affordable (under $50)! Please pass this on, so that we can give him greater recognition within the blind community. Even if it costs a bit more than he initially suspected it would, there is no excuse for the $2,000 to $5,000 average price of such technology when cheaper alternatives can be designed! He is determined to bring this to market, so let's help him do it and show our appreciation for his hard work on this life-changing project!

Chapter 13 of New Magic Brothers has been given a significant polish, involving several minor changes, and making it about 10% longer.

I've been writing using em dashes since the 1990s. The reason AI uses em dashes is because it was trained on my writing, and that of countless other humans like me.
What’s that I see at the top of my reading pile?
Oh, NBD, just a copy of my book. Not its final form, but still, the first time I've held it in my hands.
A tangible version of something that’s existed in more abstract, emotional, and digital forms for years.
Friends! My Hugo House class starts in just over 2 weeks, there's plenty of space, and NOW is the time to apply for a scholarship if you need one. (Partial scholarships only, typically up to 40% off, which would bring the price from $490 down to $294.)

PS: While this says intermediate/advanced, it's an all-levels class. You do not need previous playwriting experience.

Amazon's publishing system is now rolling out main-dashboard-page notices which push authors to use AI to instantly create audiobooks for their books. This is going to eliminate the jobs of hundreds of thousands of narrators. AI was of course built by listening in on all of those existing audiobooks ... without compensation to the narrators ... #writing #Writingcommunity

No, AI, I do NOT think nuclear war is a good thing
Google's AI is telling people that I am in favour of nuclear war*. Because of course it is. This reveals yet another problem with AI that makes things harder for us all.
* = I'm not. Quite the opposite. But AI doesn't have the wherewithal to understand this
open.substack.comNo, AI, I do NOT think nuclear war is a good thingIt has been prominently pointed out that Google's AI thinks a nuclear war could be GOOD for society. However, this actually my fault. But it highlights yet more flaws with AI, rather than me.
I just want to be the kind of woman who posts a photo of a drystone wall (that she built), then a picture of a bird, then a thirst trap, you know?
Hi. I'm terrified.
I've been trying to make my own space on the web for years. And I've been stuck. Badly.
But today is my birthday. And I refuse to let another year pass without putting something—anything—out there.
So here it is in all its messy glory. My first post on my barely-there #website: https://fromemily.com/hi-im-terrified/
It's not great. But it's okay...enough.
And I hope it means something to someone.
...from Emily Moran BarwickHi. I'm Terrified, Creatively Constipated, and Existentially Angsty as Fuck. And I'm Judging Every Word of This Post. And It's Not What I Want It to Be.The very first post on my okay enough website. And it's...fine.

A #poem in two parts
—
i.
A life of chronic sickness
both of body and of mind.
I am thirsting for some witness
to let my soul unwind.
All alone in a house
of prayerful solitude,
a baptistery to douse
my inner thirsty mood.
The US media is too cowardly to cover the [Hands off!] protests for fear of Trump.
I assume you mean on broadcast TV. I get my news on the web, not on TV. Here is what I found:
Fox News isn't covering. USA Today says there are thousands, not hundreds of thousands. Washington Post, NBC, and New York Times, are completely mute. However CBS and ABC have stories. PBS is full throated on the spot with live feeds. CNN has below the fold (10 stories+ down) coverage. Axios, AP, and Reuters are covering prominently. Local Los Angeles affiliate television websites are also following.

"U.S. Copyright Office issues highly anticipated report on copyrightability of AI-generated works"
Detailed and fairly dense, but as the article says early on, "It maintains that human authorship and creativity remain essential in the quest to obtain copyright protection for works involving materials created by artificial intelligence."
