This might be the last hurrah for my book, as the paperback is now out! I had absolutely no luck getting it reviewed anywhere, so here is my last ditch attempt to market my odd book about Max Stirner, modernism and manifestos: bloomsbury.com/au/ego-made-ma… doi.org/10.5040/979876…

@DorisKluin Honestly, Europe has the best of things but probably the worst of it as well

Verlage gegen gerade reihenweise pleite, zumindest in Deutschland. Zudem sind Verlage nicht bereit, Risiken zu tragen und es interessiert sie nicht, ob ein Manuskript gut ist, sondern wie es sich verkauft. Ich meine, die publizieren selbst mit KI, die Kunden kaufen es, sie verdienen Geld damit und machen mehr davon. Gleichzeitig sparen sie Personalkosten, weil Redakteure entlassen werden.

My take from this is that LLMs are going to destroy the self-publishing industry. "Hybrid" platforms will get flooded with even more dross to sort through. Publishers matter more than ever
Ed Newton-Rex@ednewtonrex

Data in the NYT today suggests *20%* of self-published novels on Amazon are AI-generated. As predicted, AI books are flooding the market - some doing very well. This obviously harms the market for books the AI was trained on. Market harm is probably the most important factor in fair use decisions. nytimes.com/2026/03/19/boo…

And here we go again ...
7NEWS Adelaide@7NewsAdelaide

BREAKING: Pauline Hanson has dumped a key candidate on the eve of the South Australian election. One Nation says it has today become aware of serious allegations facing its candidate for the seat of Adelaide, Aoi Baxter. The party has confirmed an arrest warrant in the United Kingdom has been issued for him, for failing to appear in court over a sexual offence charge. Also known as Trent Baxter, the 31-year-old was charged in September 2023 with sexually touching a woman without consent. One Nation says it conducted a nationwide police check on Mr Baxter as it does with all candidates and found ‘no issues’. Party officials say they have been unable to contact Mr Baxter today.

Hot take: not hypocritical at all. Reading lit is enmeshed with connecting with, opening up to someone. It's part of the deal. Say you discover your perfect partner had been cheating that whole perfect time together. Is it okay if your perception changed after the reveal? Sure!
Olivia Moore@omooretweets

Hachette just cancelled the publication of a popular (fiction) book facing credible allegations of AI use The most fascinating part is watching readers edit their Goodreads ratings in real time People who loved the book when they read it now hate it if AI was involved 🤔

@TherynDArnold I really need to stop tweeting first thing in the morning. I really do write incoherent nonsense and can't be bothered proof reading it! "A bookseller and an academic library staff member"!

@NonwayneWayne No. You just need good recommenders. I would trust a handful of authors on here to recommend works by other authors.

@AMWorley_Writer I honestly can't see the grift staying afloat. There are still Nigerian princes in need of assistance with bank accounts though, so what do I know?

@NonwayneWayne I dunno, there are already an incredible amount of self-pubbed books who move few if any copies, and it hasn’t impacted the success of the industry. AI slop will run rampant, but how many of those “authors” can or will market? If they can’t, the books might as well not exist.

@jhendersonYT AI detectors are really unreliable, but this is business and not a classroom, so error rates are fine. Academic publishers are already using detectors, and I'd fully support commercial publishers rolling them out. Don't want to get pinged? Don't write flat prose

In this case, the author seemed to admit it in a Reddit thread. But I think there's good reason to be concerned. Many AI detectors are unreliable, and if publishers started pulling books based on accusations of using AI a lot of writers could get hurt, even if they never use it.
Becki is Agented!!!@roo_richardson

re: the AI book being pulled at Hachette - though I agree we shouldn’t let AI ‘books’ be published, how are they making sure to be absolutely 100% certain it was indeed written with AI? Because if there isn’t a definitive system in place this could become very messy for authors

@jhendersonYT My partner was telling me this morning that Etsy is further along a similar path. LLM-generated patterns for craft that don't work are flooding the site. It's moving the users back to large providers and independents. These platforms aren't walled gardens. People can leave

The technology isn’t going to go away. Unless we have severe norms about this - like ‘You’re disbarred if you cite fake cases because of AI’/‘Tenure doesn’t protect AI research fraud’/etc - we’re going to see more and more of this.
Anna Bower@AnnaBower

An absolutely excruciating moment at the Georgia Supreme Court this week. Justice Peterson pressed state attorney Deborah Leslie over her citations to cases that apparently don’t exist.
