i cannot believe cecil gershwin palmer has the ability to make music play very loudly wherever and whenever he wants by introducing “the weather”. like it isn’t just during the radio breaks he does it irl to distract a mob in a later episode. this is infinitely funny to me if only because it’s one of the most random and completely useless superpowers a man can have in a town full of angels, talking river rocks and other weird and powerful magic. maureen gets the ability to switch between dimensions and he gets to be a human radio
This fucking sucks and I hate it so much. Like fuck off
Hey I don’t know if this is being talked about on Tumblr but thankfully the AO3 subreddit has a conversation going about this app that just went live.
TikTok user unravel.me.now has just launch an app (lore.fm) she is calling “Audible for AO3”. It’s an app that uses AI voices to read out fics.
🚨She is requiring any authors who do not want their fics to be on this app to OPT OUT by emailing [email protected] 🚨 🚨She has not given an actual template or how you’re supposed to prove you’re the author or said how her team will process this or how she will keep these requests secure🚨
I do not have this app. I haven’t seen anyone use it yet. According to Reddit users, unravel.me.now’s earlier TikToks stated she envisions the app being able to create libraries stored on that app and to have version of “Spotify wrapped”. That implies that eventually data collection must happen, if it’s not happening currently.
I don’t know the actual capabilities of this app. I don’t know the legalities. I do know that it personally feels like this app is trying to turn AO3 into a content generation source and I haven’t heard of the app allowing you to leave a comment or kudos or interact with the original work.
