I write books. A crow for a fetch, I'm your huckleberry. She/her. (Hint: Like "synchro.")
@lilithsaintcrow.com"Google and Meta seem impervious to bad press; in Stapleton’s book in particular it’s made clear that it barely registers with Google’s leadership. Only financial loss changes policy, and the work of whistleblowers is far more likely to hit companies where it hurts."

@p-h-lee.bsky.socialReposted by @lilithsaintcrow.comapropos of previous thread by John Wiswell: writers have a lot of solidarity when it comes to contracts. if you are a new writer and you think something might be hinky about your contract, it is completely fine to ask other professional writers even (especially) if you don't know us.

@radiodeadair.comReposted by @lilithsaintcrow.comI cannot say definitively that we'll never develop artificial intelligence. I strongly doubt it, based on the limits of technology and our understanding of consciousness. But I can say absolutely that an LLM will never be conscious or feel pain. It's a glorified Magic Eight Ball. That's all.
@lilithsaintcrow.comAll in all, a successful session. And the cleric is teaching a necromancer to, well, neck...) #ItsDnDTime
@lilithsaintcrow.comWe are going to be arguing about secondary hideout locations until next session, when there will be library visits, reconnaissance for light arson, and a visit to our favourite (now well-shod) City Inspector. We're quite busy. #ItsDnDTime
@lilithsaintcrow.comThe bard made GREAT insight checks over psychic party-line (while cooking), the paladin demanded said malefactor swear to the Sun Goat, the rogue pinned a sign on the malefactor's back, and for once the cleric insisted the knickers remain ON. (The druid really needed that nap.) #ItsDnDTime
@lilithsaintcrow.com(During a break, the rapier was christened "Swift Correction", so now it's a Named Weapon, too.) #ItsDnDTime
@lilithsaintcrow.comAnd that was #ItsDnDTime! A fortuitous use of a flying snake (familiar) led to a beatdown. The bard stayed home to cook dinner, the paladin sat on a malefactor, the druid was asleep on the table, and the rogue, the rogue FINALLY GOT TO USE HIS RAPIER!
@lilithsaintcrow.comI'm not even sure there's a floral component to this shampoo! It just bumbled into my hair while Boxnoggin was sniffing a fern for possible peeing purposes. Everyone involved was highly confuzzled.
@lilithsaintcrow.comUp until Thursday we were inching towards 80F in the afternoons, it's absolutely insane. Much better now, but...

@lilithsaintcrow.comLittle late in the season for a bee to get tangled in my hair, but I suppose they know their business best. (Nobody was hurt, the bee was mildly confused and VERY gently disentangled...)

@lilithsaintcrow.com"This week, though, we learned that MRM’s changes to its writing contracts don’t seem to have propagated to its contracts for other creators, thanks to social media posts from two well-known artists who were approached by Asimov’s to provide cover art."
@maggiemcneill.bsky.socialReposted by @lilithsaintcrow.comThe term everyone is dancing around is "secret police", a hallmark of totalitarian regimes.
@lilithsaintcrow.comAnyway, trads barely market midlisters at all, preferring to use the marketing budgets to pad C-suite salaries, so maybe we'll escape that nonsense. Silver linings, and all that. *sigh*
