News Summary: First BookTok Bestseller List Dominated by Romance; Publishers Sue Meta over AI Training

A few interesting pieces of news with which to end the week. The one I found most interesting is the long-anticipated release of the first (UK for now, following a trial in Germany) BookTok Bestseller list. In a shocking turn of events that no one could have foreseen, seventeen of the top twenty titles are romance and romantasy, with the likes of Rebecca Yarros, Chloe Walsh, and Sarah J. Maas dominating. It is also no surprise to see the ur-text of dark academia, Donna Tartt's The Secret History, standing proud in the chart.

I typically don't use AI for anything, but today I was trying to remember a word I had forgotton which I had seen on a wiki somewhere.
After failing to find the wiki article in my browser history, I, realizing this is exactly the sort of thing LLMs are good for, spun up a local #Llama2 model using #llamaCPP , and asked it "What is a word in software engineering for an edge case?" and I rediscovered the word "pathological". Perfect word for what I'm documenting.

Meta’s AI copyright win comes with a warning about fair use

“This ruling does not stand for the proposition that Meta’s use of copyrighted materials to train its language models is lawful,” Judge Chhabria said.

“It stands only for the proposition that these plaintiffs made the wrong arguments and failed to develop a record in support of the right one.”
