Here are a few stories to read this morning.

• Robin Phillips explains how you can opt out of letting Facebook use your content to train its AI.
• The RWA filed for bankruptcy this week. While I do hold a grudge against the folks responsible for that incident several years ago, I had hoped the organization itself could be remade and continue to server authors.
• Mariana Mazzucato points out how AI is a resource guzzling ecological nightmare.
• The reason this matters is that AI is not a great new thing – it’s just a really expensive way to writer software which is really good at guessing.
• Esquire digs into the marketing work required to have a best-selling debut novel.
