Lunchtime listening: @ucstonecenter.bsky.social session on editing and AI from last month, with @nadiageageapupa.bsky.social, @ebrenner.bsky.social and others.
Great discussion not just about what generative AI can and can’t do editorially, but also other uses and transparency and ethics.

Now this type of smart glasses I *would* be interested in, if they were reliable. Varifocals are great for many things, but I'd love to be able to go back to not needing either to move my head or to swap to reading glasses to have both the top and the bottom of a page in focus 👀

Katherine Rundell was at the @britishlibrary.bsky.social talking about creating fantasy worlds to explore issues such as love and fear. An excellent hour – so high-energy and inspiring.
