I’m not really on social these days for The World reasons, BUT I’ll be in London in a few weeks & would love to say hi if anyone wants to meet up for a coffee or anything like that.

It's Wednesday, it's review day at @strangehorizons.bsky.social. Here's @marinaberlin.bsky.social on Appupen and Lauren Daudet's AI intro, Dream Machine.
"At least 80 per cent of the book is an introduction to and explanation about AI, and about 20 per cent is concerned with characters and plot."

Kind of bummed that there’s the built-in option on here to add alt-text to images but not to the profile header.
So if anyone clicked through to see it - the translation is “everything will be all right, but everything will be different.”
