This shit writes itself. This is so beyond parody at this point I can't write about it.

I had an author friend gush, for paragraphs, about how amazing my editing was. It was funny. It was honest. It was developmental juice that didn't have any trouble asserting its flavor. He begged me to know what LLM I was using because he had other editors use LLMs and they weren't nearly as good or funny or sincere and they didn't seem to understand the work the way I did.

this has got to be the shortest email I've ever written. I replied,

“I used my fucking brain.”

"But here I am, with [this arsenal of smallpox and nerve gas] for the past [century]. I’m not comfortable with it, but the utility is just too great for me to take a principled stance here. I like it, and I want it, so I’m using it. Maybe that’s morally questionable, or worse. But, as I said: here I am."

We're at the stage of cultural decline where we just publicly announce our amorality.

I want to denounce him, ridicule him, but who has the rhetorical powers to execrate this individual more than he has just willingly done to himself?

CMYK Halftone Roses. Drawing halftones with a plotter is brutal on the pen up/down mechanism (so many dots!) but the results are very pleasing.

CMYK on 24”x36” watercolor paper using a vintage HP DraftPro DXL pen plotter generated and controlled with Python.
