But this has barely been a problem... one guy has posted several posts.

Do you want to keep the floodgates open and wait until we're inundated with the stuff?

I don't think simply asking people politely to stop is enough. It still means that people are free to ignore it and spam Witt for two weeks until they get terminated. By that point it's already too late.

I have a separate rant on the way the immigration problem is being addressed currently but I might save that for a later post.

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

Why do you think it wouldn't work to just ask?  It seems like Leo here was pretty embarrassed and quit as soon as he was called out.

I'm a little skeptical that we need to escalate so fast.  I guess I'm open to the idea, although I have no idea how you could write such a law.

Doesn't the MinImm have a pretty free hand to discontinue applications (Lexh.E.5)?  They could do it in that circumstance pretty easily, I think.

Let me get this straight. You would support me just deep-sixing a prospective citizen on my own initiative; but you're allergic to the idea of pre-screening immigration applications.

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

Yes, I would hope you would exercise that power whenever it was necessary.  Someone who starts posting a ton of spammy things from AI and ignores a warning, or someone who is abusive to others, or the like.  Stepping in to stop misdeeds is very different from the secret pre-screening power you initially proposed.

It's sort of like how I approve of police officers stopping someone from shoplifting, but I'd oppose them pre-screening shoppers before entry into a store.

Will do, I'd love it if we did gather more works from Talossans. I am hoping to work with someone for a translation of Andy Weir's The Egg story on Fora Talossa. And the Library of Talossa led me to that.

Back to the original topic of this thread. Does anyone have works which they'd like me to add to the catalog? I'll follow the scheme set by GV and the Baron.

@King Txec @Iason Taiwos

I'm going to search for some of the late Ian Tamoran's works and add any that are not already there.

[Leonardo Miguel Carvalho Marques]

It may just be a misinterpretation on my part, but I don't understand why you're treating me like a criminal when I haven't committed any offence.

There is no law in Talossa prohibiting the use of AI. Also, as I intend to have my citizenship application approved, I won't dare use AI here again.

[Danihel Txechescu]

I have a translation of Silent Night by Iustì.

I don't think anyone is trying to treat you like a criminal. But just because something isn't technically illegal doesn't always mean it's the right approach.

The citizenship process is about genuine, personal engagement, and part of that is letting people get to know you (your own thoughts, ideas, and personality), not the output of ChatGPT or any AI.

We really appreciate your understanding and your willingness to respect that spirit going forward. We're looking forward to getting to know the real you!

I agree that it's not the right approach. So from now on I'm going to respect that orientation

[King Txec]

None of my works are in the public domain< and while I own the copyrights etc., I sell the books for profit. If listing my works meant the actual text, I would not be willing to do that.

Awesome!

Do you have a favorite poem or short story?  Maybe there's a Talossan version in our library!

No, not the actual text. Just the titles, author name. I would also include a link to where folks can actually access the book. So it could be a way to direct people to purchase your book.

[Breneir Tzaracomprada]

Yes

Leo, please check out the Library here. And let us know if you have some writings that might be added once you are officially Talossan.

Just remembered this, and not sure if I'm misreading, but Iac translated "The Egg" years ago: https://wiki.talossa.com/L%27Uol

So if you wanted it, there it is.
