The paper examines the comparative creativity of stories written by people who did not use AI, or who had access to AI.
Age Old, Old Age
My concern is not with longevity, but with making longevity a goal in and of itself. We are maximizing the time we have, rather than maximizing what we do with our time.
Deorbiting the Space Station
Like the Mercury and Apollo capsules, like the space shuttles, the ISS, to borrow a phrase, belongs in a museum.
Obscene Storytelling
Think about what it says about your characters and their contexts before you give them the foul mouths we hear around us too often these days.
TENGs in Space
Years ago, I shared an article about triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), and I suggested I might follow up with more detail someday. Since then, I launched one on a rocket.
Nature Writing
In a more recent book, you are more likely to find a stand of trees, or maybe a stand of pine trees, while in an older book, you are more likely to be shown a stand of blue spruces.
Diagrams in Storytelling
I want to consider what the best way, from a storytelling perspective, is to convey this information to my readers. A diagram or solar system map might work, but it isn’t all that elegant.
Ideal Realism
Rather than grittiness, I see realism in how long it takes to walk from point A to point B, or in the equipment and technologies to which the characters have access and can carry, or the odds that they can reasonably face.
Information about Misinformation on Disinformation
While the terms are often conflated, misinformation and disinformation are not equivalent, and efforts both to study and address them should take care of that distinction.
Stories To Tell
To say that we must tell the stories that are unique to us is to crimp ourselves. Don’t set out to tell the story that only you can tell. Set out to tell the story that you want to tell.
