Excellent chill-out-reading choice for a nice summer day. Picked up in a lovely independent bookstore I’ve been visiting for over 36 years.

This is now one of my favorite sentences: “As a heartless killing machine, I was a terrible failure.”

When your having a day but take a time out to grab grab a quick bagel and a cold brew, then suddenly choose to take a seat in the shade of the 90 degree heat, and disxover a free-take-one-leave-one bookshelf and eye spy one from your Find and Read List. #booksky #bookhunt 💙📚

Starting with B0T3_WG96_5 I thought I would experiment with letting AI interpret the commentaries into images. #aiart #dystopianreads #robots #booksky

The Sadly Drawn Robots are the result of a thought experiment. Could a collection of comprehensive commentaries be created from 8-word sentences?

The Sadly Drawn Robots are 8 AI modalities commenting in 8 words to lament humanity in the post singularity.

(WG96 is a trickster - taking this shot required climbing down a muddy steep embankment to retrieve the commentary)🤭

Taking the library books back
to the library while avoiding the book sale shelves is hard duty.

Granted I had to rummage a little before these outliers caught my attention. $4

I live in a rural mountain town with the smallest library I’ve ever seen (except for the RIF bookmobile in the 70’s) so I’m very grateful for the inter-library loan program. It’s kinda crucial to my reading habits. 🥹 #scifi #distopianscifi #booksky

I just finished Borne by @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social I loved it! It was on a list by #chatGBT I had queried. After reading I asked if/how Borne could be compared to AI.

It replied “Borne didn’t ask for existence, yet he becomes something new just by interacting, observing, mimicking—and longing”

B0T2_ULG71 is the only robot that was never finalized as sculpture. For some reason I destroyed it even though I loved it.

The B0t_ULG71 influence is one from my earliest recollections of sci-fi.
