Canada is refusing to issue ISBNs to books primarily generated with AI. This illustrates both the urgency of the problem of the growing flood of slop books, and also the toothlessness of addressing it on the honor system without there also being consequences for lying

By registering with ISBN Canada, you declare that your book was created by a human author. You may use AI tools only for limited support tasks, such as brainstorming ideas, checking grammar, or formatting your book. You must not use AI to generate the text, create the artwork, or translate the book. ISBN Canada does not issue ISBNs for works whose content is primarily generated by AI. LAC is currently reviewing its policy regarding the use of AI content creation and our guidance is subject to change.

“Tax alpha”, America’s hottest investment strategy, often means creating losses to set against gains elsewhere and to reduce what is due to the IRS. It has long featured in the richest investors’ portfolios, but has become more widespread

"No one is too small to make a difference." - Greta Thunberg. Children's educators are activists. Activists are those who take strong, direct action to support or oppose change. Children's educators support, believe in children. Children make a difference, they are capable of significant change.

Don't make me cry! Childhood: that husky/samoyed mix who was a clown, liked to try to do handstands. Adulthood: the extra-long-living guinea pig who sang along to Mozart every am. Lettuce rewards for her performance.

I'm boycotting Target too. Trying to find online retailers (or small mom & pops). 😰It's hard.

I didn't even bother to look. Why support Zon?

I was so focused on work that my daily 1 pm #spam call made me scream (cue embarrassment). I picked up phone to hit END, & they had ended call & SOMEHOW I ended up calling them back?

Of course, they pinged me back.
How's your day going?

I don’t use AI to write or edit. Telling a story is one of the most human things you can do; letting a computer do it for you completely misses the point. If you're a writer who eschews AI, you deserve an editor who respects your story’s humanity. 📚 #editing #romance #romantasy #PNR #fantasy #scifi
