For International Women's Day, I highly recommend the Elemental Logic series by Laurie J. Marks: four books that ought to be known as the Masterworks of Fantasy that they bloody well are. And a bonus: the gorgeous cover art for these editions is by @tanaudel.bsky.social, a very fine writer herself.

Image: Kathleen Jennings' beautiful cover designs for the Elemental Logic series by Laurie J. Marks: Fire Logic, Earth Logic, Water Logic, and Air Logic. These books are brilliant.

No, we’re not. This is so pathetic. There are endless really good, imagination fueled, potentially world changing ideas that are being crushed by the very machines you’re now pushing on us. But based on this story, it appears @vox.com is running out of ideas.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

Did you know a former White House climate advisor flipped a GOP stronghold in Virginia by running entirely on putting a stop to more AI data centers? For @heatmap.news I profiled John McAuliff and a campaign that will be a roadmap for all future anti-AI politicians moving forward.

So very good. EVIL is one of my favorite TV shows. It is weird and spooky, they portray demons so well, the main villain Leland Townsend is brilliant, the themes and social commentary always hit, and I love the three main characters. I should rewatch it this winter.

Look everyone we can all have an inept AI robot for just $20,000! Oh, it also needs a lot of human intervention behind the scenes and it’s spying on you with a little camera. Great. The science fiction story we’re all being dragged into really sucks.

Here I also explained specifically why a fusion breakthrough doesn’t fix climate change: tl;dr: you still have to finance, permit & build tons of reactors (to say nothing of still needing to clean up fertilizer, airlines, cattle burps & more).

A new study, based on a survey of 1,150 workers suggests that the injection of AI tools into the workplace has not resulted in a magic productivity boom and instead increased the amount of time that workers say they spend fixing low-quality AI-generated “work.” 🔗 www.404media.co/ai-workslop-...

AI ‘Workslop’ Is Killing Productivity and Making Workers Miserable

AI slop is taking over workplaces. Workers said that they thought of their colleagues who filed low-quality AI work as "less creative, capable, and reliable than they did before receiving the output."
