Btw if you're pissed about the Hachette Book Group suing the Internet Archive, you can tell them how you feel. The least we can do is tell em we don't like what they're doing and that we'll take our business elsewhere (π΄ββ οΈπ΄ββ οΈπ΄ββ οΈ) if they actually manage to burn down the library:
HachetteUS / HarperCollins / HarperCollinsUK / penguinrandom / PenguinBooks / WileyGlobal / randomhouse / penguinusa / PenguinUKBooks / PenguinRandomCA / PenguinClassics / PenguinTeen / harperteen / harperbooks / HarperFiction / HarperPerennial / HarperCollinsCh / HarperChildrens / HarperAudio / Harper360 / Wiley_Chemistry / WileyHumanities / WileyHealth / WileyEconomics / WileyPolitics / WileyPsychology / WileyEcolEvol / WileyNeuro / wileyearthspace / WileyEngineer / wiley_finance

I am saying this as an independently published author who would not be able to make rent without people supporting my writing: Universal information piracy is an unqualified good for humanity.
audiobooks are so good actually
You may have seen a fundraiser going around looking to hire a lobbyist to go to DC and lobby against AI art - it's been boosted by pretty big names, after all.
This fundraiser is explicitly allying with groups like uhhh Disney, Universal, and the RIAA - and the person who's running it is a crypto nerd who's a big fan of NFTs.
I'm not going to be the one to pretend that AI and AI art has no problems - that's why I started a group for ethical AI use, after all. But I think if there's gonna be an opposition to AI you can probably do better than laying your lucre at the table of some of the most litigous, anti-fandom corporations in existence? If you're interested in getting Metallica 2.0: No Fanart Allowed Boogaloo, this is where it's going.
(And this isn't even getting into the problems with the fundraiser itself, which seems to be built like 90% on misinfo and outright lies about how AI works)
