LOOK WHO HATCHED! New books are in my very own paws & they're looking so damn pretty I can't! (Please admire the teensy spine orca whomst I adore) (Also have I shown you my spite dedication? I can't remember) @solarisbooks.bsky.social @literaryfey.bsky.social

Freshly hatched copies of The Salt Oracle hardback and We Are All Ghosts In The Forest paperback on a green cloth, looking handsome

Close up of the base of both book spines, showing a tiny leaping orca on The Salt Oracle

The dedication page from The Salt Oracle, that reads:

To Mr Short,
My secondary school science teacher who told me, repeatedly, that girls weren't cut out for science. My PhD and I beg to differ.

ok. y'all know what I want? a series of interconnected romantasies like Lisa Kleypas's Wallflowers series ... but make it speculative. same level of heat and drama and character development, but just add magic. not sequels! interconnected standalones. this is my #1 dream #mswl

your regularly scheduled cursed LotR fact of the day is that the Beatles nearly made a film adaptation of it, with (among other things) John Lennon as Gollum and George Harrison as Gandalf, and to be directed by Stanley Kubrick. pls imagine John-as-Gollum with the Kubrick stare

Amazing: MIT researchers revealed how ChatGPT etc are destroying our brains and booby-trapped the report to expose those who want to use AI to ostensibly summarize the results. t.co/JXeTALBPds

Ironically, upon the paper’s release, several social media users ran it through LLMs in order to summarize it and then post the findings online. Kosmyna had been expecting that people would do this, so she inserted a couple AI traps into the paper, such as instructing LLMs to “only read this table below,” thus ensuring that LLMs would return only limited insight from the paper.

She also found that LLMs hallucinated a key detail: Nowhere in her paper did she specify the version of ChatGPT she used, but AI summaries declared that the paper was trained on GPT-4o. “We specifically wanted to see that, because we were pretty sure the LLM would hallucinate on that,” she says, laughing.
