Muscle memory is a wild thing, isn't it? I have to retrain my hands to go to B instead of T when I'm looking to see what folks are talking about online. I do enjoy that BlueSky is becoming a cozy #kidlit community. I'm aiming to jump in more.

When we say “tech guys need the humanities too” we’re not talking about diluting the pool of Linus Torvalds with underwater basket weavers, we’re talking about arming them with enough literacy to comprehend Sci-Fi in a way that doesn’t get them sued by Scarlett Johansson

It's amazing how much of this overlaps with book #publishing. Production and book costs are steadily increasing while sales in various segments decrease + employees aren't well compensated. Analyze the business model & make it accessible for consumers instead of overflowing the market w/ product.

A Kweli Journal newsletter pointed me to this 2020 Q&A with Jason Reynolds, which is GOLDEN for #kidlit writers:
"I think every person who reads wants to feel like they're turning those pages rapidly... It's a progress clock. Who doesn't like to see their progress?"

Over the last few months, I've noticed the heads of non-tech companies announcing that they're "leaning into AI"... but they never explain HOW.
It feels very similar to when random companies were jumping onto the NFT bandwagon. We see where that went.

The big AI push we’re seeing right now feels like nothing so much as a bunch of executives realizing the bottom is about to totally drop outta this thing because the product sucks and no one likes it, so they’re either desperately trying to make fetch happen or wring the last drips of value from it

More support for the theory that OpenAI is equal parts “never have an original idea” + “steal other people’s work because you’re constitutionally incapable of imagining anything on your own”—with a hefty dollop of “fetishize women and refuse to take no for an answer.”
NPR tech reporter Bobby Allyn obtained this statement from Scarlett Johansson regarding OpenAI's ChatGPT voice that sounds like her role from the 2013 movie "Her"
