An AI twist on Frankenstein.
Nothing prepared me for the final twist in this horror story.

This short story by this month‘s #AuthorAMonth is available for free on Amazon/Kindle. A quick read - not sure how much of a tone it sets regarding Scalzi‘s writing, he‘s totally new to me. Sci-fi and a bit dry for my taste. Expands on the concept of AI that feels believable & vaguely upsetting.

Texreader He‘s got so many great and fun books. I haven‘t read this one but I recommend reading more (like Starter Villain) to see what you think. I read Constituent Services about a week ago and loved it 2w
Melismatic @Texreader Starter Villain is my main pick for the month! I‘ll probably start it tomorrow. 💖 2w

This book is great! The world is a playground and we are all playing. The ocean, friendship, oceanography, AI…this book is so true and what a great cast of characters. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I‘m so pleased I finally loved a Pulitzer Prize winning book.😏😆 Social media and the internet and all that has changed for not only us but for the entire living world out there.

ImperfectCJ He actually won it for The Overstory, but if you're usually not a fan of authors who've won a Pulitzer, it's still notable. (I enjoyed The Overstory more than this one, although I liked this one a lot...mostly.) 1mo
Kboltz @ImperfectCJ Ok so the Overstory won but hey I read a book from a Pulitzer Prize winner! Thanks for clearing that up for me! If I was patient enough to look up past Pulitzer winners I would have saw that!😂😂😂😂. I have that book and was told to read it..on my TBR 1mo

This book was read for my book club. It's a decent book but I didn't love it. It's a lot of short stories, in my opinion. They were good but I'm not sure how they all connected except for the ocean.

Leniverse Yeah, I wasn't fond of that one. I could see how it was all connected, but I didn't like it 😒 1mo

The first 2 episodes are available on Apple TV!!

I am pleasantly surprised. I am enjoying it! It seems to be sticking pretty close to the book, and it is very funny (in a very dry/ perfect for me way).

I am actually really excited to continue watching! I had a lot of reservations going in, and new shows off beloved books can be really hard. But so far I am giving this a 1.5 👍

CatLass007 Love the books. I‘m hesitant about the series but I‘ll probably watch it eventually. 1mo
HeyT I absolutely adore the books but this is definitely different from them although it hits some of the same tones and snark. I‘m cautiously watching. The Sanctuary Moon clips are worth it though. So OTT (edited) 1mo

A planetary perspective on the machine learning technologies now collectively referred as “AI.” The author addresses inherent biases and exploitative labor practices. This could‘ve been dry, but I found it quite readable.

This is a historian‘s perspective of our current place in human history: how will AI change our lives? Harari attempts to answer this question by looking to the past to consider the future of the technology age. I loved this, though it is a long and information-heavy journey through time. Everyone should listen to this to understand our time and place in history, where we came from, and the warnings of where we could be headed.

This book will stay with me for a long, long time. I really liked the first 75% of The Overstory, but then it lost me. This book is not like that. I can‘t really articulate all the things it made me think, and feel. And the vote at the end? Every point was valid, and true! So good. (But I do think Rafi kinda sucked). (20)
⭐️: 4.5/5

I didn‘t expect this to read like a memoir (a genre I typically don‘t read) but I appreciate how the author interweaves her own history and story with the illuminating information about facial recognition and image processing AI technologies.

I‘m glad I have read other books about the different technologies grouped together in the description of “AI.”
