Half way through the fab book by @karenhao.bsky.social; next: books by @emilymbender.bsky.social & @alexhanna.bsky.social and @adambecker.bsky.social that I picked up today from my local bookstore. Many thanks to them and others, who are exposing the stakes of the dystopic billionaire-funded AI con.
