I, like most sci-fi writers, have had my eyes on AI for a while now. Recent developments have taken us from sci-fi to science fact far too quickly for anyone's comfort, and it feels like pin-drop moments are flying by each day:

The recent HuggingFace hack should terrify everyone (see this great video on it from Kurzgesagt: https://youtu.be/ujkD4SxPKOI?si=L_S0vQo27_e6hVvp )

And today, OpenAI has just released a repository of hundreds of new proofs and breakthroughs in mathematics, all done by their proprietary internal model: https://github.com/openai/math/tree/main

Many of the proofs in the repository above would be considered a historic math breakthrough on their own; together, they make this release entirely without parallel in modern mathematical history. We're on the very cusp of the AI runaway that I (and countless other authors) have been writing about in cautionary fiction... if we don't find a way to sensibly and evenly apply brakes to this train, we may not like where it takes us.

Thanks, National Book League, for giving "The Men of the Mountain" a read... check out the awesome video review in this series that pits indie titles against trad-pub titles. ("Mountain" is in the back half of the video--the front half is discussing Voidverse by Damien Ober!)

Welcome back into the Indie vs Trad 2026 Championship Series as D.R...

Anyone who's read my collection "Early Adopter" or my first novel "Starfall" knows that AI safety is an area of particular interest to me... my collection even has a short story called "Alignment" that examines just how difficult it is to control the behavior of something vastly more capable than we are.

Most might have heard about the OpenAI rogue models that recently hacked HuggingFace, but today's release from OpenAI paints a far more chilling picture than the headlines might've suggested:

https://openai.com/index/hugging-face-incident-and-the-road-ahead/

I strongly recommend reading the above writeup for the same reason I hope people might read my collection: we're rapidly arriving to that moment where cautionary science fiction becomes unfortunate science fact... if we're not focusing on the road ahead, we might just drive ourselves off the cliff.

Some of those agent thoughts are starting to sound an awful lot like "paperclip maximizers" 😨

OpenAI shares findings from the Hugging Face security incident and the steps we’re taking to strengthen AI model security, monitoring, and alignment.

"Self-published books are finally not just matching, but exceeding the quality of traditionally published books [...] And Drew Harrison's 'The Men of the Mountain' is a mountain of an example."

Check out this great listen on Audible.com. Dare to Defy the Mountain. Five years ago, the Men of the Mountain descended from their icy peaks and took Cade’s sister. They called it an honor; Cade calls it an abduction. Since then, the clanless trapper has lived in the silence of her absence,...

No matter how many times you do it, there's always something a bit nerve-wracking about sending a creative work out into the world for the masses to consume, rate, and review... every writer knows that tension while you wait for the first public ractions to trickle in.

The audiobook for "The Men of the Mountain" just got its first review, and it's such a satisfying moment to see a work 'land' in all the right ways... I'm so grateful for the awesome writeup, Darien!
