Is the effort to grant ai personhood so they can claim any stupidity and damage is not the company's responsibility?

For what it's worth, we've been on this cruise twice and the people are friendly and accepting and the nerdiest bunch of weirdos you will ever meet. Truly awesome experience

On the bright side, since they rely on scanner, they’re not equipped for anything without a bar code. Watched one walk past Edith Wharton first edition cuz it wouldn’t scan.

B&N bookseller here. I Was excited that we got several cases this week. TLOLL (and the rest of the series, of course) has been top of my fantasy recommendations to both customers and my fellow booksellers for years. Looking forward to the new covers on book 2 and 3 Hope you have a great trip.

UnitedHealthcare CEO Killed Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealth’s insurance unit, was fatally shot outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel in what police described as a “brazen” targeted attack by a gunman lying in wait for him. What do you think? theonion.com/unitedhealth...

I’m married to a journalist and watched the internet happen to newspapers in real time. Part of the business plan at the time was exactly that — free news online and readers will subscribe. They didn’t, at least not in large numbers. And Once they had free stuff, some even stopped subscribing.

I had my copy for a couple years before I finally read it. One of the comforting things about social media was realizing I wasn’t the only person who didn’t read it right away, and for mostly the same reasons. It’ll be there when you’re ready.

Somewhat unique in the Denver, Colorado market, B&N stepped in to acquire beloved longtime indie book chain, The Tattered Cover, which has been struggling. I have no inside knowledge there, but so far the messaging has all been let it be the Tattered Cover, just with better support & buying power.

Ed S @edwarq.bsky.social · 18/08/2024

Less top down micro-management. More local control to serve our communities and patrons preferences. Still got toys and games and gifty stuff, but we’re very much a book place.

B&N bookseller here, from both the bad old days and current era. At the Bookseller levels, we strive to be as knowledgeable and helpful as possible. We’re readers too and some of the biggest and most loveable nerds I know. At the corporate level, a lot has changed.
