Thank you for sharing. AI may have won this battle but I will win the war…

And leaving books unread is not in AI’s nature (and certainly not its human masters):

"Tsundoku" is a Japanese term that describes the habit of acquiring books and letting them pile up unread. The word combines "tsunde," meaning to stack things, and "oku," meaning to leave for a time. It captures the idea of buying books with the intention of reading them, but then not getting around to it, leading to a collection that grows over time.

AI telling me something interesting…. But I have no idea if it’s true….

The implied threat is always more effective. Self-policing makes the real police job soooo much easier.

How permanent will any easing of the regulatory environment be? Better non-custodial BUT I recognise the limitations to attracting new people.

So…. do we have free will, or is it all just a really well-constructed script in a play?

Can’t believe no one has said ‘porn and podcasts’ Reading and running for me.

That is a fantastic tune! Like Rammstein does Bollywood…

G-board is ok. But it changes the way your thoughts flow. Very odd. Try it! Dragon Professional is out of reach.

It is. Voice-to-text not great

Been reading a lot. Struggling to type some days.

Great stuff as always!

‘On the Road’ by Jack Kerouac

Great write up.

A great idea and great opportunity. Bravo.

Opening credits are amazing. Really good series finale and worth getting to.

Thank you. AI is here to stay and enhance our work so we better learn smart ways to utilise it. Not to replace or make us lazy.

Audio to text can sadly be a bit hit-and-miss. Spend more time tidying up than pretend typing. But students using it along with Chat GPT provides them with important skills for the future - the integration of AI into workflows.

Yes. Both are really bad now. Read a lot, don’t write much.

Thanks. Have a modified keyboard and type with a pencil now. Speech-to-text is rubbish lol.

‘Literary criticism can be no more than a reasoned account of the feeling produced upon the critic by the book he is criticising.’ D. H. Lawrence

Just do it: I think a good guide is; write the outline of the book, what you personally got out of reading it and whether you think other people should try it.

Make SN your writing practice / class. Worse case everyone hates the book but they are unlikely to hate an honest review.

And take heed; ‘In certain kinds of writing, particularly in art criticism and literary criticism, it is normal to come across long passages which are almost completely lacking in meaning.’ George Orwell
