Breven Pseudocities

So apparently grammarly stole my fuckin identity

We've reached the point where you actually have to opt OUT of an author impersonation feature.

Let me tell you the weekslong process my company just went through just to be able to send marketing texts to people. But monetizing a product you're pitching as author coaching? Ok!

Grammarly declined my request to interview CEO Shishir Mehrotra today. But it told me that in response to criticisms, it will allow experts to opt out of the feature by emailing expertoptout@superhuman.com.

I've decided that instead of wasting my own time to see if Grammarly has stolen my name and writing for use their business, I'd just email them to opt out and make them waste some time cleaning up their own goddamn mess.

Thank you for reaching out. After careful consideration, we have decided to disable Expert Review while we reimagine how to make it more useful for customers and more respectful of the experts whose work it surfaces. The feature will be disabled starting March 12, 2026. We're sorry, and we appreciate you holding us to a higher standard.

Grammarly's response to me preemptively opting out of their experts program. "Surfacing". Jesus Christ. At least they are stopping it.

You all thought that Trump couldn't bring traditional masculinity back, but here he is creating the conditions for the most Dudes Rock movie of all time: William Friedkin's 1977 film Sorcerer.

affirmations for the artists and the sickos. you will not feel bad about using references or 3d models in a time when the most rat faced soulless tech ceos are burning billions of dollars and trees for a slop machine that they will call art with their whole fucking chest

Using AI for your art references not only gives you a skewed & inaccurate view of the world, it also puts resource providers like myself & all these awesome people out of work!

Using REAL photo references is what levels up your art AND supports the stock/resource community! ❤️💪

Such articulate cutting through of the nonsense around puberty blockers and eg Keira Bell’s detransitioning from Stephanie Lynnette on GMB this morning. It is also a refreshing relief to see a trans person actually being allowed to speak for once!

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

"People used to be excited about tech, now they dread what data you're going to steal next, they dread what violation of privacy or the environment will turn up next. There are people in tech who want to do good, but they’re consistently outvoted or stampeded by selfish hucksters and thieves." 🎯

Composers be like "oh no, I just realized 3 notes of my melody are the same as 3 notes of [insert pop song]. I only changed the rhythm, harmony, words, instrumentation, and context. Straight to the trash. I'm a thief and a hack😔" Then you hear that part of the melody and it's like, a minor arpeggio.

Anybody interested in helping me afford a laser printer? I want to start printing zines. My current inkjet is dead and I'm sick and tired of ink cartridges. i want to become a toner bitch. my commissions are wide open and I have a 2 month turn around but im usually done way faster
