Just finished @vandroidhelsing.bsky.social 's excellent debut novel The West Passage. If you ever wished the Canterbury Tales were populated by Hieronymus Bosch (and really, who wouldn't?), this one's for you. TW for sudden violence - this world is rough. #fantasy #weirdlit #booksky #bookreview

GenAi has NO place at Comicon, ESPECIALLY at art shows!
By doing so Comic-con signals to older and newer generations of artists that their exploitation and replacement is worth putting on a pedestal.👎
Anyway here’s their email. Feel free to politely share thoughts:

Please email your local library and politely complain about Libby's AI "Inspire Me" feature.
Your local library worker will love this. Seriously. We had so many tools for collecting feedback.

the thing with Libby is you are not Libby's customer, your library is Libby's customer.
so I guess we should all complain to our libraries!
