Hmmm... This Atlantic article describes how Meta has stolen millions of books for their AI - and my novel Unfettered Journey is one of them. They even copied the Japanese version.

20 minutes ago here in Venetie, Alaska, the skies erupted in a beautiful auroral substorm. Here is just one of many real-time videos I recorded during the show to give you a sense of how fast and dynamic the aurora can move.

AI trivia - A marketing use of AI that you likely will see more of soon - a mailer arrived for TED2025, included a photo of ME (from last year) - clearly not an accident. (From the badge photos, they can use AI to sort through footage for matches, then print the mailers with one special photo slot.)

She asks him to name ASEAN countries and significance of them. He names a bunch of countries that aren't part of ASEAN.
