If there's money to be made by releasing books created by Counterfeit Cognizance, those publishers will take advantage of it to its fullest... Count on it.

Nice try, but...

It's too early for the Butlerian Jihad to start.

If they don't then someone else will.

That's not how capitalism works my friend

Cute, but we all know the only way these writers are going to get what they want is if they part ways from their current publishers and start a coöperative.

It’s actually wild how with the just-in-time economy, it has never required less capital investment to start a business like a book publisher. And yet it seems like the only people that take advantage of it are average schmo “grindset grifters” selling junk while all of the people with the real economic power literally beg the institutions that have abused them since the very beginning of their industry to please do the right thing.

That’s Game Theory right there.

And I don’t care if something is written by AI. As people we care about the quality of the output.

We know AI by default just creates slop but with a human in the loop, it’s possible to get inspiration for scenes, brainstorming, discuss ideas etc.

I think a good writer would use it this way.

Unless readers want street cred reading only books from publishers who observe the request. There will be a market for "authentic" publishers along with the more liberal slop-friendly ones.

I tried to read about "just-in-time economy" but I really don't see how it would apply to book market?

It means that today pretty much anybody can start a book publishing company, because just-in-time print shops will handle literally all of the expensive overhead that is associated with running a publishing company and just print whatever you hire them to print on demand for you once customers actually place orders, sometimes even on a commission basis so you don’t even have to pay them money unless people are actually buying the books you are publishing.

And demand an additional disclaimer that "use of the contents of this book for AI training purposes is explicitely forbidden".

That will 100% stop Meta from using it for training their AI for sure.

How does it exactly relate here?
