Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

I had a similar thought seeing the stunning hill towns of Tuscany in the distance for the first time, and realizing the painted Renaissance landscapes weren’t dream images but a reality

A Theater of Pure Attention

Sal Randolph @salrandolph.bsky.social · Aug 7

Speaking of attention, can there be aesthetics of attention beyond the obvious? Can there be a playful or mysterious side to our investigations?
