I don't deny that dogs can sometimes be quite lovely but what I will say is I don't trust their opinions. If a cat recommended me an album it had bought, I'd totally check it out. If a dog did the same, I'd promise to listen to the album, out of politeness, with no intention of actually doing so

I’m fascinated by what @ryancordell.org and @skeuomorphpress.org are doing with printing technologies. I have been talking about doing something similar with an unnetworked/analog writing lab for students at my college. Having it also be a makerspace like this? Exciting! youtu.be/5MJG4_q7vcc?...

Three panel comic. Panel 1: young man in a hoodie looking morose and sitting on a swing set. He says “she’s breaking up with me…” Panel 2: next to him is a glyptodon, an early ancestor of armadillos. With his head in his hands, the young man says “what do I do glyptodon?” Panel 3: the glyptodon says “I’m like an early ancestor of armadillos. The young man angrily replies, “are you even listening man?”

my prediction for the near-term future is that the most technologically savvy among the general populace will be driven to a kind of neo-luddite revolution being the demographic that understands that everything that surrounds us is increasingly broken by design

This is a huge issue for scholarship, not just for library collections. We can’t keep ebooks, etexts, ejournals, only rent them. Which means: - paying over & over again to achess the same titles, & - no guarantees of finding the same works later; they can be yanked at any time.

For Zuck - who owns a controlling share of voting stock in his company and need not answer to his board - it's a spectacular act of delusional self-sabotage. Zuck refuses to understand that the majority of his users are on his platform because they love their friends more than they hate him. 36/

We've spent our lives, until very recently, reading predominantly human words, human sentences, human text, poetry. What is it doing to us now, emotionally, to have to wade through so much written material which simply isn't written by a person? If you're a big reader, love words, I think it hurts.

Book 1 is $59.99 went out 4 times. Cost per circ $14.99 Book 2 is $59.99 went out 4 times. Cost per circ $14.99 I'm not buying book 3. If the cost per circ was $5 or $3, I wouldn't mind. But that is WAY too high, especially for a thing that expires after 2 yrs.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

The thing about books, as that repost earlier today mentioned, is that the words on a pdf can be changed. But to edit an already printed book, you have to cross the lines out, and if you do that to a book, people will ask, "why did you do that?" No one gets to ask a question they don't know to ask.

M and I were talking about this last night. The first lesson of doing a library reference interview is that the question is often incorrect to begin with and needs to be massaged. If you get an answer-shaped response from AI to the wrong question, you never stood a chance to begin with!

A hallucinated cite means you did not engage in research. It is possible to make an error when entering or checking a cite, but its not possible to make an error when you check a hallucinated cite and find it doesn't exist. That means you didn't do it. Which means you used AI inappropriately. 1/

“So it was, on that misty morning, that Brenda set off for the capital. She knew not what she would find there, only that the time had come to move on - away from small-minded rural attitudes and people who called her ‘Oreo’ and ‘the wide panda’ - to seek a more fulfilling life.”

Women only care about one thing. A beautifully cooked ham they dont have to share. They can eat the whole thing and they dont have to share with anyone. 6lbs of ham just for themself. They can take it in the bath or on the couch and its just theirs, not to share. No one can ask for a single swallow

Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.
A lovely mossy boulder with a face. I walked past this venerable stone gentleman on Dartmoor when I was beginning to write my first novel, Villager, and it whispered all 104,000 words of the book to me. So now I have to pay it all of my royalties. Unfortunately my ex-publisher stopped paying me royalties last year. Understandable, the boulder was not happy. But now I have a new publisher and the book is being republished this Thursday. So remember if you purchase a copy you will be helping a boulder to eat, pay the rent on his riverside moss garden, and feed his boulder family.
