Angry Economist1/5 📚 Karen Hao's "Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI" critically examines how OpenAI has transitioned from a non-profit to a pivotal player in the tech arms race, fueled by billions in funding. #BookSuggestion
@booksns #BookSuggestion You could try "A Canticle for Leibowitz" by Walter M Miller or "Earth Abides" by George Rippey Stewart. #Scifi
@booksns #BookSuggestion "The Voyeur" by Alain Robbe-Grillet.
ArtificeIsArtLate to the party as usual, but I just finished reading though Open Circuits by @oskay and @tubetime. Absolutely gorgeous book that satisfied many curiosities I had over the years. A complete steal at the list price. 100% emphatically recommended.

SarvinDear #WritingCommmunity ,
All summer I have been looking for a book that,
1. Is about home.
2. Discusses language
3.Includes art (cross-genre)
Please help me find it?
(Maybe I am describing my future book?)

Lore Birdsong 🦄I'm reading Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik and I am so engrossed that the hour and forty five minute queue to vote in the runoff election was actually enjoyable.

Giuseppe VizzariUmberto Eco used to say that books "talk" to other books. Well, I think that Katarina Pistor's book represents a complementary, probably more "technical", view to "The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power" by Joel Bakan (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/108583.The_Corporation?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=axkJre6nAg&rank=1), a book that inspired a film that won the 2004 Sundance Film Festival Audience Award for Best Documentary.
I'm starting a series of toots about book suggestions.
I'll start with "The Code of Capital: How the Law Creates Wealth and Inequality" (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42585103-the-code-of-capital?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=iBnrOozgju&rank=1) by @KAPistor (which we are lucky enough to have on Mastodon).
Sometimes it probably happened to you to witness an event or to read about some news in which something completely legal still felt extremely wrong, in your guts. Well, this book is a very good discussion about how and why we got to a situation in which this happens every day, and still it seems basically impossible to change this state of affairs.
