I mean Ursula le Guin published the first Earthsea book in like 1968 or something
Soon enough science fiction will be about communal living in tune with nature and doing a very reasonable amount of labor and spending the rest of the time experiencing the joy of being human

Librarian here. Got an email from a patron about our "poor selection" of books on AI, w/ list of new books that we HAD to get so ppl could stay informed about this important subject. Title, author, synopsis.

Of 11 titles on the list, 10 Did Not Exist. At all.

"Yeah, I got it from Ch*tGPT, why?"

I use Affinity Designer daily and it's really, really good 👌

New from 404 Media: Facebook has deliberately pushed its Llama 4 AI model to the right in an attempt to show "both sides." Obviously that is dangerous/stupid if the AI is talking about climate change, health etc which are scientific fact but clouded by politics www.404media.co/facebook-pus...
Facebook Pushes Its Llama 4 AI Model to the Right, Wants to Present “Both Sides”
Meta’s Llama 4 model is worried about left leaning bias in the data, and wants to be more like Elon Musk’s Grok.

GamerGate wasn’t a fight for ethics. It was a dress rehearsal for incel extremism. Step 1: find a scapegoat. Step 2: weaponize your loneliness. Step 3: cry “free speech” while building a hate machine powered by YouTube algorithms and anime icons.
