  1. I stopped by a newish local Barnes & Noble, it’s one of their new smaller footprint stores. In the store were three full bookcases (not shelves, cases) of Religious books and zero shelves of Science books.

    That makes me sad.

  2. My first time to attempt sign on with Barnes and Noble since April when they switched to passwordless login. I don't like. Codes seem to be going into the void. #BarnesAndNoble

  3. Finally getting a chance to see the fabulous Chuck Tingle in person

  4. News Summary: Economist Graph Shows AI-Generated Books Now Match Human Output at 150,000 Titles Monthly

    Wherever books are discussed, the past few weeks have seen heated discussion of a graph that appeared in the Economist. It puts flesh on the bones of that "million more books" claim that did the rounds a little earlier. What it shows is the correlation between the steepening of the "books published" figures and the release of ChatGPT 3.5 in November 2022. In classic hockey-stick style, it shows AI-generated books sharply increasing to the point where they are equaling the number of non-AI-generated titles at around 150,000 a month.

  5. News Summary: Kobo CEO Reveals 45% of Self-Published Submissions Rejected for Suspected AI Content

    I missed this story when it first came out a fortnight ago (I think because the title of the article by Rakuten Kobo's Russ Tamblyn is decidedly oblique, so I just moved on). Fortunately the substantive content has generated several more helpfully titled spinout columns since then, so I'm circling back to the original. A single sentence is at the heart of this piece, and it contains a figure that provides additional context for much of the recent debate over AI-generated content. Tamblyn is speaking in his capacity as president and CEO at Rakuten Kobo.

  6. News Summary: Korean Publishers Embrace AI as ‘Reader’; Barnes and Noble Clarifies AI Book Policy

    Last week saw a highly controversial statement from Kim Tae-Heon, president of the Korean Publishers Association. In the statement, Kim refers to the emergence of AI as "reader." This has, of course, caused considerable rumblings among those who feel he has not done adequate justice to the rapacious nature of the technology and the companies who control it.

  12. god /damn/ does #BarnesAndNoble's website suck ass these days, even switching entirely to a non-default/no-plugins browser isn't enough to make it function correctly.

    Yo, it's a boring-ass ecommerce site! We have known how to do these for LITERALLY TWENTY-FIVE OR MORE YEARS! I have personally solved most of the problems I am observing here, on sites that did like one millionth of the traffic!!

  13. Criminy. I've been carrying this B&N gift card in my wallet for several years. I'm pretty sure it was a gift from my boss at my former job in NY. I didn't even remember how much money was left one it.

    Well there's a new CD I've been meaning to buy, so I did. Turns out there was about $6 left on it.

    At least now I can throw it away.
