Reading Between the Lines Podcast

Missing Black Sails? Dealing with brain rot? Need some fanfic therapy? I gotchu! Every month, I fully narrate a story and then chat with the author about their story, their process, and the show. Listen while you work! open.spotify.com/show/5aEcqNW6O…

@sn0wh1mb0 No, thank goodness. I work in catering. Thankfully, the robots aren’t cooking yet.

Anyone else watching their workplace just slowly succumb to AI psychosis or is that just a me thing

This is sending me. Their “art” is AI. Their long post about their art and their fandom theories is AI. Respectfully…no.

@jandrewellis None of the above. My fear is that people won’t care to read it.

What is a bigger fear as a writer? That people won't like what you wrote? That people who find it will love it but your book will be a commercial failure? Or that people will feel they are dumber having read your book?

@R0npz @Kristinartz Some films are essential one time only viewings. This is one. Requiem for a Dream is another. I would NEVER do that to myself again on purpose. But Grave of the Fireflies had me ugly-crying and shaking with hitched breaths.

@AudioFicPod @Kristinartz Can't revisit

I need a movie that will absolutely destroy me emotionally, like ugly crying, can't breathe type. Any suggestions..

@Kristinartz Train to Busan.

@R0npz @Kristinartz Yes, I barely survived this film.

@Kristinartz Try Grave of the Fireless

This right here. This is moral and ethical decay.

Okay! I’ll play! Supporting AI “art” means you don’t give a fuck about crediting artists, so why should your tweets be any different?

@CultureCrave James Daunt is and has been completely focused on the bottom line. His “town hall” staff meetings were infuriatingly oblivious to the needs and wishes of his staff. Also, the redesigned stores are ugly AF.

Barnes & Noble CEO says he has ‘no problem’ selling AI-generated books 📕 “So as long as an AI-written book says it’s AI-written … and isn’t ripping off somebody else … and the customer wants to buy it, then we will stock them” (via TODAY)

@Aesthetic50c @AutismCapital @Polymarket Nope, it didn’t. A human still uses it as a skilled craft. AI only exists because it fed off human creativity like a parasite.

@AutismCapital @Polymarket one hunnit, same shit went down with Photoshop and film photography

NEW: Barnes & Noble CEO says the company has “no problem” selling AI-written books as long as they’re clearly labeled.

@levenorion @AutismCapital @Polymarket Your soul, honestly.

@AutismCapital @Polymarket What is the cost of an AI book?

@AutismCapital @Polymarket If you can’t tell the difference, that’s a problem.

This is what anti AI people don’t get. It’s going to happen no matter what. The bully campaign only works temporarily. Eventually market forces take over and market forces always win. If someone has to spend 10x the cost/time to please an angry niche that wasn’t going to buy the thing anyways, versus just use AI and sell what they were going to sell, the choice is clear.

I have been blocked on my main by BN for a decade. Kinda proud of it. Even more so now. James Daunt has gutted the integrity of the company I worked for off and on the majority of my adult life.

🚨do you understand what just happened.. Trump sued his own IRS for $10 billion over leaked tax returns.. then settled with his own DOJ.. and the settlement created a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded fund to compensate his political allies the president filed the lawsuit.. the president's DOJ settled it.. the president's allies collect the money.. and you're paying for it the fund covers Jan 6th defendants.. Mar-a-Lago raid claims.. the Russia investigation.. anyone who says they were a victim of "lawfare" can file a claim and get a check they named it the "Anti-Weaponization Fund".. and made the number $1.776 billion.. they even made the corruption patriotic in 1974 Nixon resigned for using government agencies against political enemies.. in 2026 the government is cutting checks to political allies and calling it justice

i love when fic writers insert niche knowledge (about a city they know well, their profession, etc.) into their fics
