well, I say reading, but I'll probably be listening to the book via @libro.fm—I highly recommend it as a platform where you can buy (DRM-free!) audiobooks and support a local bookstore instead of supporting Amazon through Audible: libro.fm/audiobooks/9...

Instead, I'll be reading the new book "Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It" by Cory Doctorow! 💩 I know I mentioned the term a few times on ISE (as 'en-beep-ification') and I've been looking forward to this book for a long time

This comment made my night—thank you so much for watching! As someone who got Very into linguistics a few years back, your insights helped reframe the discussions around algorithmic models in a way that connected some critical dots for me. I really appreciate your work!

Thank you all so much for welcoming me as a podcast host for what has been an unreal experience for me, and for most of the very best parts of these last few years ♡

I’m not great at having an online presence, but I don’t plan to disappear! I can be reached here on Bluesky, or at [email protected]

It’s Super Effective has changed my life, in so many ways, and I love and value the community around it, and the friends I have made thanks to it, So Much.

The lecture I mentioned was the “Chat GP-why” lecture by @emilymbender.bsky.social, who just so happens to be the other author of that book (it comes out May 13th!). The podcast hosted by the two of them, “Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000”, is also one of my favorites right now 🤗

My number-one recommendation for learning more about these algorithmic models beyond the hype is @dairinstitute.bsky.social, and so many of the people behind it—including Alex Hanna, one of the authors of the book “THE AI CON” that I mentioned looking forward to

I really want to share some of the sources I buried myself in as I was gathering my thoughts for this episode:

I’d been pretty stressed about the Claude discussion! This was my first attempt at trying to talk about this thing I think about a lot and have a lot of feelings about. The feedback on it from the last day has made me so happy, and I’m so glad that what I said made at least some sense! 😂

You’re 100% right 😂 I don’t know for sure that I’ll use the card in a deck, but my first reaction was yep that feels like a card for me 👀

My account’s been here! Just haven’t been using the app much 😂 but yeah there’re definitely some things it’s doing better for now

Thank you!! And thank you 🤗 I’m so happy to have short hair again lol
