Shawn Presser's Books3 tar of hundreds of books distributed illegally to train generative AI has been taken down. Same for other caches across the web, thanks to author agents aggressively issuing DMCA notices. But the damage is done. The ChatGPT4 beast has already consumed your books.
@charliejane So awful! And I bet it was my niece's officers who gunned down the killer. We're not close at all, but I think about her.
@mehitobel Birthday twin! Spill the tea! Er, the bourbon name, that is.

Barbie was ridiculously great. It dealt with every social issue around the doll that I can remember, even as a child playing with Barbies. (If you've read my essays, you know what I did with them after seeing Star Wars.) Also, I absolutely LOVED Kate McKinnon. I'm not going to say anything else. The movie is kid-friendly, but honestly most of it will go over their heads.
Wishing the wonderful
@charliejane a lovely birthday and even better year to come!
@mehitobel Ah! 50 is when I decided I was officially out of any fucks to give. It's glorious. They don't tell you that, but it's true. I'm with you -- I like having as much birthday calendar coverage as possible.
