My baby! I got one as a kid. It still sits (running) in my bedroom. Some of the numbers look wrong but I basically know how to transpose them.

That’s good to know. I’m not a series person to begin with but I think 13 books was too much (at least for this world).

Mandatory AI training has come to my day job. The tools they will be used, or so saith the overlords. I can't wait for the bubble to burst and folks to start seeing it as a *tool, not an organic mind replacement. *with a host of well discussed and documented issues

Reservation complete! Looks like I'll be staying at the hotel instead of with a friend of a friend for the World Fantasy Convention (they're going to be traveling).

What I stood out to me during those interactions was the thrill Joyn felt in being surprised alongside his sometimes biting sense of humor. The impression I formed was that he took his work and his students seriously. He was fully engaged by both.

John, @robertvsredick.bsky.social and I did a reading together sometime pre-Covid, and I joined John and @gavingrant.bsky.social to view some woodcuts for his book The Chemical Wedding.

What a shock. I took a workshop with him at Yale’s summer program a number of years ago. I’m just noticing that paths have crossed more times than I realized. He was actually local, but I first learned what he looked like from an essay of his in the magazine The Believer.

Fantastic. As an east coast person, I hadn’t planned on returning to Berkeley this year, but I’m strongly reconsidering.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

Hi, thanks for posting! We do appreciate you thinking of us even though we have to moderate.

Our stance on all AI generated content (Images, Video, Voiceovers, and whatever else LLM based AI gets up to in the future):

At best, they are approximations of street fighter characters as the AI has no clue what it is trying to create. Because of this, there is no street fighter content so they are not allowed. (rule 1)

Also, they aren't allowed per our source rule. As AI sources cannot be tracked, we must assume that they use uncredited sources in the learning data. (rule 5)

Finally, AI images, video, text, and voiceovers are barely any different than posting a screenshot of a google search. The level of effort is so low that we consider it spam (rule 3).

Because of these reasons, AI art and other AI content is not allowed.

If you would like to contact the moderators about this removal, you can do so here.

Adrian kindly read Gigs and gave us a pull quote, and the generosity of it absolutely blew my socks off. Getting such a kind quote, from someone i admire so much, after half a decade working on it in isolation, was a really big moment.

I head out to #Stokercon, arriving tomorrow afternoon! Between my day job, sick pets, a writing project, and last weekend's trip for the Locus Awards, I haven't had time organize much for the trip. If you're headed there and want to connect, please reach out!

Countless endangered species are making a comeback due to global conservation efforts

These success stories are a model for community-rooted conservation and population revival that could help other countries and regions rebuild their withering ecosystems.

I finally caved. My laptop is currently out for repairs. I wore out the e on the keyboard (it works except when it doesn’t) The worst part? Entering a password and having to count the number of characters to determine if the e had actually been entered. 😂

Picking up a novelette in progress with historic elements, I remember mapping out the drinking water sources in the nineteenth-century town. Buttt I can't find the info or let it go—logic be damned. I guess I'll be repeating the research cause there’s truly no talking myself out if it 😂

Spoke to the Guardian about the idea of quitting LLMs for climate: -“I see this all as very much part of the tactic of trying to embed these systems into society and instil dependency in a fashion similar to the growth of single-use plastics in the 1970s.” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

“Consumer software that generates text, images and videos are uniquely energy inefficient,” says Ketan Joshi, an Oslo-based climate analyst associated with the Australia Institute, due to the “vast datasets and computational strain of pattern-matching that happens underneath the hood”.

Asking an AI chatbot a question consumes a great deal more energy than finding the answer via simple web search or calculator. It adds extra demand for no good reason, he says, a bit like driving to the shops in an SUV instead of riding your bike.

“You might still get the shopping done, and that single trip alone may not even look all that bad in terms of cost or emissions, but what happens when that’s all of your trips, and when all of society starts doing this?”
