““This kind of AI that can reproduce content similar to what it ingested poses an existential threat to the writing profession and to the publishing industry—if it’s unchecked,” says Mary Rasenberger, CEO of the Authors Guild. “A lot of people who aren’t in the industry don’t realize how precarious the profession is and how uneven the business is.” https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/books/a61485201/books-ai-lawsuits/
"As a woman with #autism, Kate will talk about the gender discrepancy in autism diagnoses. Women and girls often display completely different behaviors than what #neurotypical people have been taught to associate with autism, which affects when and how (and if) they are diagnosed. Autism being diagnosed at a younger age leads to a higher chance of that child receiving evidence-based treatment, which can help with better life outcomes. This discrepancy is why Kate wants to encourage more research be done on symptoms of autism in women and girls so that they can be more easily and accurately diagnosed in the future." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tbes1mm2VgM&ab_channel=TEDxTalks

Here's a periodic reminder that I'm selling a huge chunk of my book collection cause I'm moving and have a growing family and OMG help.
Lots of SF/F, a little H, some quirky bits and bobbles and literary stuffs, unique non-fiction (academic and beyond), and even some DVDs, comics, and graphic novels.
Please share with anyone you know who loves them some books. I've got...less than a month to find homes for as much as possible!!! #books
Lord Byron, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, Percy Bysshe Shelley & John Polidori, who have gathered at the Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva in a rainy Switzerland in this 'Year Without a Summer', tell each other tales. This spawns two classic Gothic narratives, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Polidori's The Vampyre. Byron also writes the poem Darkness.
