September/October 2023 issue of #AnalogSFF just out! Perfect timing as I have just finished #Asimovs this morning. #ScienceFiction

Best foreseeable outcome I can predict as a professional #SF #writer with a new story about to appear in #Asimovs

#Trump is ordered confined for life at #Mar-a-Lago. He can never leave the confines of the estate. If he tries to swim away, giant white balloons will come after him, like in #ThePrisoner. He must always wear a button that says #2. He will never become #1 no matter how hard he schemes to advance. #indicted

Lunch. Mug of the Russian Caravan, fresh pack just opened. Macaroni cheese, with added gouda, sweetcorn, smoked paprika. Reading The Case of the Blood-Stained Tower by Ray Nayler in Asimov's. Listening to "#stigmata" by Heejin Jang, from the tape label Muzan - recorded live in Stockholm, edited in Seoul. #bandcamp #electronic #noise #TapeLabel #reading #bookstodon #novellas #asimovs #ScienceFiction #lunch #tea

"Two hours later I'd made all fifty hops and arrived by Molybdita's side, six thousand light-years from Menelik, in a bar trying hard to be seedy, but achieving only sad. Stinking of station liquor, brewed in vats from spoiled fruit. Archaeology thumped from unseen mycospeakers: the ancient songs of fallen planets, lapsed civilizations, genocided troubadours."
Planetstuck - Sam J. Miller - Asimov's

Sat with a pot of sencha in the metal Japanese pot. Weekend treat of supermarket sushi. Reading @UnlikelyWorlds novella "Gravesend, or, Everyday Life in the Anthropocene" in recent Asimov's issue. Listening to "Qualia" by the Egyptian FRKTL.

After seeing all the exploits on how to bypass #ChatGPT safety measures, I am convinced that #Asimovs Robot Laws can be in place, but humans will do everything to make sure robots harm humans.
