Autumn Sonata, Klemens Brosch, 1920.

Autumn Sonata by Klemens Brosch; painting of a window scene with a dark, flowing curtain partially obscuring the interior. Outside the window, a dark, dense forest is visible on the left, while a tree trunk with a bird perched on it frames the right side. Numerous small, reddish-pink petals are scattered throughout the scene, both falling through the air and resting on the window ledge and the foliage of a bush beneath the window.

anyway here's the email I sent to jim bankoff last week. i'm still heartbroken. I have been insanely, destructively angry for weeks, and I think I will be for a long time.

Absolutely fuck this. Good audiobooks involve so much care and work from the actors and directors and engineers, this is bullshit. Great to know we’re moving further into an absolute creative dead zone where the same shitty fake voices monotone at us forever.

Fuck this, absolutely fuck this, everyone who loves audiobooks loves their favourite narrators because they are great at their jobs and interpreting the author's words and they make the experience what it is www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

day 105 of making a cow tools every day unless i don't

edited panel from the Watchmen graphic novel of the character Rorschach, with the head of a cow, sitting in the broken window of a high rise building. Text reads "The unsophisticated filth of all their lumps and pronglers will foam up about their waists and all the steers and heifers will look up and shout 'SAVE US!'... and I’ll look down and whisper “moo”."

Marco Rinaldi @marcorinaldi.bsky.social · Nov 25

Why? Who is this meant to be good for? Nobody wants your shit AI books, never mind 8,000 in a year. Just a terrible idea and a horrible road the publishing industry is heading down.

Bookseller article with the headline "New publisher Spines aims to 'disrupt' industry by using AI to publish 8,000 books in 2025 alone" 🤮🤮🤮
