There are ways to both engage with the challenges facing readers and reading today while also rejecting this kind of triumphal doomerism; the booksellers I spoke with for this piece are exemplars of that. Maybe you'd like to read this today instead?

What Do Booksellers Make Of “The End Of Reading”? | Defector

If you haven’t yet encountered the cover story for the August issue of The Atlantic, I have some bad news to share: “The End of Reading Is Here.” It’s an intentionally provocative headline for a sligh...

It feels genuinely ridiculous having to say this, but the point of art is to connect with another human. Someone thought of that painting or melodic line or scene or paragraph that is suddenly making you weep, and that means that they saw you and understood you without even meeting you.

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.”

Case Keenum entered tonight's game with a career record of 30-36, which is the reverse score of The Devin Aromashodu Game. If you include the playoffs, he entered tonight with a career record of 31-37, reverse score of the Mike Brown 49ers Game. So ya know, Bear TF Down.

Remember that hit piece in Go Long on Ryan Poles and Caleb Williams? The one where a former, emphasis on former, scout said that Poles criticized Jayden Daniels' size and refused to consider drafting Drake Maye. That piece hasn't aged too well, has it?

Rooting for the #Bills to give up 31 points again, because it would break the record shared by the '58 #Eagles & '89 #Patriots. They both allowed exactly 24 points in each of their first three games. That's the most in #NFL history.

That '64 #Bears team had a 90-catch WR and a 75-catch TE. The #NFL didn't see another pairing like that, near as I can tell, for 45 years -- when there were 2 of them!
