I was having a conversation with my brother who was like: “I can ask AI to summarize a subject for me so I can learn about it way faster.”

And like, that’s cool I guess, but it’s a computer generated summary with no soul. I recently bought a book on a super niche subject, because of course there’s a researcher somewhere who writes stuff like that, and it’s so much richer than any AI could generate.

Basically, replacing human art and research is a huge loss, because we’d no longer be talking to one another. I want to hear about niche topics and look at art from people who can think and dream and are passionate about it. No matter how impressive AI will get, we shouldn’t end an intergenerational conversation that has been going on for millennia.

I read it more to gauge how I feel about reading her other books since I have a trilogy of hers I have yet to start.

Haha, yeah same exact thing for me 🙈

Thank you too and enjoy! ❤️

Hiii, just an FYI that Monk and Robot isn’t sapphic, the MC is NB and into guys, I didn’t make that clear :3 it’s still got cute romance though.

I’ve read Faven Scythe too! I thought it was pretty good but Faven was a little inconsistent as a character I thought.

I’ll look into The Stars Too Fondly, thank you!

And have you read A Memory Called Empire (and its sequel)!? It’s my absolute favorite sapphic sci-fi rn.

Oh boy, where do I start 🤔

Yeah turns out seeing your buddies get stabbed isn’t great for morale.

I LOVE sapphic sci-fi, please never let this trend end 🙏🏼

Currently reading Unconquerable Sun. It’s fun, the writing isn’t the best but it has great world building and cute lesbians.

I read Volatile Memory, which was intense but good. I just hope trans girls don’t look at it as an example, the world is very dystopic and the relationship very unhealthy. There’s plenty of people who support you in real life~

Monk and Robot was a little disappointing. It’s nice and has some beautiful descriptions but it felt somewhat aimless. If there was any point to it it’s just some liberal self-care nonsense.

That is interesting… and gives me the creeps.

There’s more to book design than the cover, like layout etc.

Huh, interesting, I was wrong then.

That’s a little disingenuous as they were founded in 2018. They’re a search engine company which currently implements AI.

Just started watching Bocchi and I love Ryo 🥹

I was talking about ‘washed’ though.

Awww, I want someone to have floor time with 🥺

Don’t expect clever from Twitch chat.

“Whatever makes me uncomfortable is woke and gay.”

I don’t get it, both are cool?

Big fan of ‘and then they fucked, to be continued’ as well 😏

Hey… shut up 🥺

Living abroad and this being so much less extreme really let sink in how much I hate this 😭
