In this episode, Sam learns that there is a whole genre of book aimed at middle schoolers where a child gets cancer and then dies. Sounds like fun!
Oh, yeah, Episode 2 of "Four Books a Fortnight" is out! It's a banger. "The Employees" is so awesome and weird.

Ya know, if you come across AI bullshit in places where you don't like it, you can just ignore it. Just don't engage with it. Treat it like the rotten intellectual corpse it is. No need to amplify it by running around and saying, "hey, look at this fetid corpse!" Just leave it be.
