So, uh, that’s a gross ass thing for Hachette to do. Two things can absolutely be true at once and it’s this - any use of AI in books should not be accepted.

Not from authors. Not from publishing houses.

Screenshot of a tweet by Erik Anderson (@AwardsWa...) commenting "Republicans suddenly want religion out of politics lol," quote-tweeting a Fox News post about Tom Homan, described as a lifelong Catholic, responding to Pope Leo's criticism of U.S. immigration enforcement by saying he wishes the Church would "stay out of politics."

These folks declared during the pandemic, “The government can’t tell me what to do with my body!” So it tracks.

How America's biggest retailers plan to use technology to catch organized retail theft Organized retail theft, criminal gang-level shoplifting, has become a big problem for Walmart, Target and other big box retailers. Can tech police the stores?

Target
Walmart
Lowe’s
Kroger
Macy’s
CVS

Are all using AI-powered video surveillance systems, facial-recognition cameras, license-plate & vehicle readers, autonomous security robots, RFID tags, and predictive analytic software to profile and harass their own shoppers.

I'm thinking of a big job hop that would put me at the mercy of finding my own health insurance but also get me out of working for my local government one more year...hopefully one more season.

Opposition leader Péter Magyar at a rally.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.

He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.

The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

The same thing happens in traditional publishing. One book with a Black MC fails in a genre--and the author doesn't even have to be Black--and you don't see another one for years.

Why showing up for ‘You, Me & Tuscany’ actually matters The success of Halle Bailey and Regé-Jean Page’s “You, Me & Tuscany” could unlock a new wave of Hollywood investments

If one Black movie fails, studios won't pick up another, but somehow Dakota Johnson movies get picked up left and right.
