  7. From the Editors ~

    "But seriously, 2026 is an opportunity like never before. The trouble is, the
    fishgibbons and evildoers of this world are thinking the same thing and
    licking their icky lips. Whether ChatGPT drinks one bottle of Evian or sips
    a fraction of a teaspoon of Pure Life per prompt, pinky out, this year we
    must take a stand against datacenters, and all things AI before drops in the
    bucket turn into a wave of mutilation."

  19. #Generative #AI “enables a theoretically infinite supply of lemons. [Will] #publishers … credibly signal quality in ways that are costly for lemon-farmers to fake? #Editorial #judgment [—that’s what is needed, rather] than just production efficiency.” georgewalkley.com/ECPA-confere

  20. Why exactly are we even still handing these #AAA #publishers money for their #crippleware anyway? Just give me the game I paid for and don't annoy me with your anti-features all the time. (In fact I as the player should get paid for having to deal with your bullshit at this point)

    I did this "online connectivity" thing back then with "The Settlers 7" from #Ubisoft and I'm not doing it again. It's just annoying and sucks. Nobody deserves to get paid for that "experience".

  21. Press Gazette: UK publishers urge CMA to curb Google as search giant claims AI does them no harm. “News publishers have disputed a claim from Google that using their content to ‘fine-tune’ its AI models contains ‘no realistic prospect of harm’ to them. ‘Fine-tuning’ enables an AI model that has already been trained to add new data to respond to a specific prompt or task.”

  22. New Statesman | Publishers don’t know how to deal with AI by Ella Dorn

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    The article examines how the publishing industry is struggling to cope with AI‑generated manuscripts, revealing that overworked editors and understaffed houses often miss or ignore tell‑tale signs of machine‑written text. After interviewing more than 30 book editors—most of whom refused to comment—the author recounts the “Shy Girl” scandal, in which a self‑published horror novel that topped Amazon’s charts was later discovered to be largely AI‑produced, leading to its withdrawal and the author’s first serious career repercussions. The piece highlights systemic pressures such as rapid acquisition of trope‑driven genre works, reliance on agents and “comps,” and the use of AI for tasks like blurbs and admin work, all of which have eroded editorial rigor and public trust. It warns that without reinvested staffing and robust detection methods, AI‑generated writing could seep further into traditional publishing, compromising the industry’s legitimacy.

  23. Publishers Weekly: Authors Guild Addresses Publishers’ AI Use. “The Authors Guild has released a statement criticizing publishing professionals’ use of AI tools following a report first published in the Bookseller that some editors have been uploading authors’ personal information, including manuscripts, into consumer-facing LLMs like ChatGPT.”

  26. Update. #ThomsonReuters fired a senior attorney for her role in the employee letter protesting the company's allegedly illegal conduct.
    404media.co/thomson-reuters-fi

    Billie Little, the fired attorney, says she was fired for an "unspecified code of conduct violation." She believes she was singled out because she was the most visible leader behind the protest letter. She's suing for reinstatement and damages, and for firing her in violation of the Oregon #whistleblower statute. She maintains that the data the company sold to #ICE "circumvented and violated state sanctuary laws, privacy protections, and the Constitution.”

  27. The world’s leading cancer charity to stop funding open access publishing because of hybrid journals

    As numerous posts on this blog have emphasised, the underlying idea of open access (OA) – allowing anyone to read and share published academic research for free – is great in principle, but in practice has failed in important ways. That’s because traditional academic publishers have subverted the open access model to such an extent that the costs for research institutions of publishing in […]
