@WeirdWriter I think a lot of tradpub C-suites are packed with people who resent that they have nothing—NOTHING—without writers producing the books, and they resent it. They resent their own lack of ability, and they resent that we have the absolute gall to expect fair payment for our labour.
You'd think that even dipshit publishing CEOs would understand that LLMs do not sell books, but that would mean next caring about the authors, the people writing and publishing with them to keep their publishing company alive. Ugh! I am honestly amazed it didn't happen sooner, their LLM pushes on staff that is. @lilithsaintcrow
