I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

The only thing I want to see projected is Scam Altman fired from a rocket into the sun. Everything he says is fantasy that tech journalists lick up like hungry kittens. Pathetic.
I reported a few months ago that in August Microsoft had only 8 million active paying users of Microsoft 365 Copilot. So tired of his company! Wow you’re gonna have 220 million paying subscribers, crazy, are you going to conjure a genie too? How about a dragon? Fantastical bullshit

So OpenAI is saying that this troubled teen fucked around and found out. They're blaming him for believing ChatGPT. Fuck the whole company to hell, and they can take their scumbag legal team with them.
“OpenAI’s court filing argued that the harms in this case were at least partly caused by Raine’s ‘failure to heed warnings, obtain help, or otherwise exercise reasonable care,’ as well as the ‘failure of others to respond to his obvious signs of distress.’”
OpenAI denies allegations that ChatGPT is to blame for a teenager's suicide
Adam Raine's family sued the AI company in August. On Tuesday, OpenAI said in a new court filing that it isn't responsible for the teen's death.

Its ridiculous to equate the Great Library of Alexandria with modern book piracy. You have to remember the historical context. The Library existed during a time when there was possibly just one copy of a scroll and everything was handwritten. The point was to share knowledge. #writingcommunity
Every time a ship docked at Alexandria, Government Customs officials searched it ... for books. Any that were found were compulsorily borrowed so they could be copied and returned.
The Great Library of Alexandria was state-sponsored piracy.

The daily fight to remain #relevant
A social media white elephant
The burden is great
To robotically create
But follows don't pay the rent
So I must vent
Follower count doesn't matter
Avoid the chatter
Go write, paint & compose
As if no one knows
You exist
Creativity is where you find bliss

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Twitter is a psy op. If you're still on that site you're a subject of manipulation and misinformation by bots and trolls who are paid by billionaires, tech bros, and governments like Russia, the US and China. They want to keep you in a state of fear and anxiety.
If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

'I tried this so u don't have to' AI image posts drive me 🥜. Each person experimenting with the theft-bot for 'eDuCaTiOnAL reasons' adds to the waste of energy & water. The images now exist & are on social media. They will be added to the noise of fake images online.

It feels weird to watch US shows when the likes of the FBI were the 'good guys' bringing down serial killers, drug barons, pedos and traffickers. The reality is they're not the good guys. They're not protecting the country or people. They're protecting a handful of rich fascists as they loot.
i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate
This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.
