If Your Work Was Stolen by Meta...

So, by now, the entire writing community is up in arms, because greedy assholes have illegally stolen folks work and livelihood—knowingly. To check if your work has been stolen, go to this The Atlantic article (it’s a gift link) and search different variations of your name.

Next steps? Well, The Authors Guild has a great post about what to do next. (Note: the Kadrey et al. lawsuit everyone is passing around was already dismissed. The current one involves George R.R. Martin and is linked in the AG’s post.)

This is all, obviously, infuriating and disheartening. But there are things we can do from here. I’ll share more resources as I find them.

Sending so much love and fury, darlings.

XOXO

PS If you’re reading this and you’ve still been using AI, either stop or fuck off. You’re harming people and the planet, and there’s no reason shiny enough to compensate for that.
