My #weekendread was another #AI #book in the doomer category, but it's a useful one from thoughtful people. The warnings are important and there are solutions. Worthwhile #read.

My #weekendread was this inessential retelling of the drama of OpenAI's early days. The insight into Altman and his motivations is limited. The #book feels like reading the news at the time, which many of us did. Thus, the book adds nothing new to the story.

Yes, I keep focusing on the mission of protecting #creative people even when some of them respond by pushing more than their heads into the sand.
Folks, #AI isn't going anywhere. #GenerativeAI isn't going to 'die in a fire'. If we don't rally together, it'll simply eliminate creative jobs.

If you don’t know @tomtomorrow.bsky.social, you are missing out on the best comic around: comic panels of mostly text, truth-telling penguins, chef’s kiss absurdism, and plenty of laughter - which is the only medicine anyone’s going to be able to afford soon so I suggest you support this project!
It's all hands on deck. I am shamelessly asking, one more time, for reposts and signal boost as this bird glides toward a landing in a few hours. It's gonna be a beautiful book, and there aren't going to be very many available afterwards!

Light reading for the #weekendread. For people who know his band, Evan Dando's autobiography is what you'd expect: lightweight, somewhat interesting, but mostly insufficiently deep. But I do enjoy reading about creative people's path to success (#AI won't give you that).
