An author's $2 million book deal - The Substack Post

I can't believe I read the whole thing.

Panzer's next stop was at Substack. There he found a post about LLMs and AI-generated books.

 

This is a wide-ranging post about AI-generated books, the authors who  do them and the books readers and sometimes publishers.

 

Note: This post is so long you'll need to bring your lunch and dinner for while you read.

Aurealis Awards Changes - Locus

My treats come before everything else.

Panzer found an interesting post about Australia's Aurealis Awards at the Locus site.

 

According to the post the Queensland Writers Centre (QWC) has increased the entry fees for the Aurealis Awards. A letter protesting the increases and wanting AI material banned. It's was signed by over 200 writers and editors and sent to QWC. The Aurealis Awards are given for the best Australian speculative fiction.

 

Panzer says, "Entry fees eat into this little kitty's treats supply, so he doesn't enter contests with fees."

 

Note: This is a medium length post. Bring a glass of lemonade to drink.

A Panzerism

 Panzer on the human misconception of their own importance:

 

Mon told me that if parents compliment children it boosts their confidence.

She said that's a good thing.

 

But ...

 

She needs to learn you don't ever compliment a cat.

N o-o-o-o ... a real bad idea.

 

Good kitty. You're kidding right?

Cats will always take such sentiments and turn them into moments of disbelief

and ... then hilarity.

 

How dare a mere human ... an inferior species to cats ... pass judgement on us ...

with statements like "Good Kitty" and "What a smart boy."
