One Day All This Will Be Yours by @aptshadow.bsky.social is quick, hilarious, and has just enough worldbuilding for a short book. Fantastic audiobook version too.

“The greatest danger facing society isn’t that software will awaken and overthrow its human masters. It is that we will allow the creators of the software to abdicate human responsibility for the systems they choose to build and help them pull up the ladder” Fuck. Shut up being right

Do you find that your horror novels require more upfront plotting, or are they on par with your sci-fi works?

Getting @thomasha.bsky.social's Uncertain Sons for $4 is basically daylight robbery. It comes close to getting paid to reading some of the most relevant fiction currently being produced.

Ted Chiang on AI: www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2...
Being open to the possibility that LLMs are conscious is the same as being open to the possibility that Microsoft Word is conscious, or, more precisely, that multiple distinct consciousnesses are dormant in every Word document containing a conversational transcript, and that they are awakened every time the document is loaded. Should you consider the possibility that every time you open a Word document you are bringing multiple conscious interlocutors into existence, and every time you close one you snuff their existence out? No. Contemplating that scenario is not a good use of your time. Even if the Microsoft Office team employed a philosopher who said you shouldn’t be so certain, because consciousness is not well understood, that would not be sufficient reason for you to take this idea seriously. We don’t need to fully understand the nature of consciousness to definitively say that certain things are not conscious, and conversational transcripts fall in that category.

I thought Caves of Steel [spoilers, I guess?] ended up with a human murderer (the police chief who broke his glasses), but The Naked Sun had a robot accomplice that broke down trying to reconcile the contradiction in its actions.

Exodus by Peter F. Hamilton is one I haven’t seen mentioned yet! The sequel is coming out next year, too.
