       I’m starting to suspect that maybe he’s not as big a supporter of free speech as he claims to be.

       @jamesgunn A creature whose power is drawn from his environment, who lives in a coastal swamp and avenges environmental damage. There has never been a better opportunity to make a kick-ass superhero film about #ClimateChange. #SwampThing

       'Every successful Google product except search and gmail is an acquisition: mobile, ad-tech, videos, server management, docs, calendaring, maps, you name it. The company desperately wants to be a "making things" company, but it's actually a "buying things" company.'Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic) looks at the, frankly chilling, idea that Google wants to use an AI chatbot to front its search engine. My skin's crawling already.https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/16/tweedledumber/#easily-spooked

       Publishers need to start thinking about how they’ll deal with this. Urgently.Clarkesworld has a reputation as a publisher that responds quickly to story submissions and pays well.They have been overwhelmed by AI-generated spam and have had to close submissions since this article was published. This is a potential tidal wave of garbage text for publishers, with each one having to be read to be identified.http://neil-clarke.com/a-concerning-trend/
