Querying rejections are bad enough without your book being fed to gen ai (without your consent), so it can write a rejection of your book! If staff can't push back hard enough, I might stick to borrowing 2021 & earlier trad books from libraries, & just buy from indies I know don't use that shit.

Do we really need to explain to people that it is really, REALLY important to read to young children? Like, you, personally, need to read to your child - your voice, your face, your hand gestures, your lap, your arms, your closeness. What kind of parent doesn't know this in their bones?

Fascism is also about the pleasure of seeing unwanted bodies mutilated, tortured, killed. This has nothing to do with Hasan's crimes. It has to do with bringing back public lynchings. They're signaling to their base that they can now rejoice in the the death of undesirables.

If you lose power during Hurricane Isaias and use a portable generator, remember to run it at least 20 feet away from your home. Never run a generator indoors. Carbon monoxide is a deadly gas you can't see or smell and it can kill in minutes.
One portable generator with an equal sign next to a lot of cars. The text reads: one portable generator can produce as much carbon monoxide as hundreds of mid-size cars. Only use your generator outdoors and 20 feet away from your home.

may you be filled with the confidence and verve of this “corpulent rearing steed”
DIEGO RODRÍGUEZ DE SILVA Y VELAZQUEZ (1599-1660)
Caballo blanco
1634-1638
Oleo sobre lienzo
Este corpulento caballo con las manos alzadas en posición de corveta viene identificándose con el que aparece en el inventario de bienes que dejó Velázquez a su muerte en su estudio de la Casa del Tesoro, junto al Alcázar de Madrid. Está dibujado con la destreza y el estilo propios del pintor de cámara de Felipe IV, demostrando la gran capacidad del sevillano para conseguir una representación natural con una gran economía de medios técnicos. El acabado de la obra permite confirmar su terminación, a la espera de que se incluyera un jinete sobre la silla de montar, o quizá se trataba de un modelo para otros retratos ecuestres.
Hasta 1700 se documentó en el citado Alcázar, pero en fecha imprecisa desapareció de las Colecciones Reales, incorporándose de nuevo en 1848 por la compra de Isabel Il al marqués de Salamanca.
DIEGO RODRÍGUEZ DE SILVA Y VELAZQUEZ (1599-1660)
White Horse
1634-1638
Oil on canvas
This corpulent rearing steed with both forelegs off the ground has long been considered the one listed in the inventory of assets that Velázquez left in his studio at the Casa del Tesoro, a building beside the Alcazar in Madrid, after his death. It is drawn with the skill and style that characterised Philip IV's court painter, demonstrating his ability to produce a lifelike representation with a minimum of technical resources. It is clearly a finished work, pending the addition of a rider in the saddle, although it may have been intended as a model for other equestrian portraits. The picture is documented in the Alcazar until 1700, but at some point it disappeared from the Royal Collections and was not recovered until 1848, when Isabella II bought it fromDIEGO RODRÍGUEZ DE SILVA Y VELAZQUEZ (1599-1660)

This is the dodgiest and most-desperate thing I’ve seen in the bubble so far. Amazon selling their chips to a group of investors and leasing them back - an off balance sheet arrangement done in plain sight. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. And they’ll probably buy more!
Amazon is seeking to offload about $8bn of advanced Nvidia chips to external investors through a new vehicle aimed at strengthening its balance sheet, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Seattle-based cloud giant has held talks with investors in recent weeks to gauge interest in the deal, which would allow the company to spin off thousands of Grace Blackwell chips it is deploying in data centres across the US into a special-purpose vehicle.
Amazon will then lease the advanced AI chips back from the SPV, which would tap outside investors through debt issuance. By unloading the expensive semiconductors to investors, the company could adopt a more asset-light approach to its balance sheet.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”
