Watching an AI in Marketing presentation, and they start out stating they're a skeptic, outlining all the ways it sucks, then proceeds to tell everyone they should not only be using various tools, but paying for the privilege to [maybe, wink wink] protect your own data from training them further.
Zero acknowledgement that a world still exists where good marketing doesn't need "AI" assistance, just the lazy assumption that it's inevitable, so get on board and be part of the problem.

The idea that publishers might "provide information in a less structured way to retail partners in a way AI could consume it" — as publicly suggested by one major publisher recently on an industry stage — would be laughable if it wasn't so depressingly wrongheaded.
Publishers' real "AI reckoning" isn't "use it or die", it's "use it blindly because FOMO and lose another 10 years of progress on tangible opportunities."

Imagine publicly saying you can't be bothered with cleaning up the data that helps drive your discovery and sales, and suggesting "AI" can do it for you.
Are you f**king kidding me?!?

The more you understand what "AI" is and isn't, you understand how limited its potential actually is in publishing.
One of the industry's core problems is the lack of standardized data across the supply chain (even when there are "accepted" standards, like ONIX), and with consolidation over the past 20+ years, even the biggest companies have multiple internal systems that aren't integrated yet.
Integration projects are often delayed by limited resources, but there's money for "AI"?

"I mean, what are we even doing here? The byline for Belshaw’s articles should be 'Perplexity', who should then thank Doug for giving them the idea, reading the first draft of the article, and helping them with revisions." @milos
I've seen several industry thinkers I used to respect churning out essays and LinkedIn posts that should definitely have their AI tool of choice credited as a co-author. It's so disappointing. #cmonson

Is it because I watch so much Spanish football that I don't understand why these commentators have continued to underestimate Spain every step of the way?
In what world was France the favorite? They definitely had a better chance than most, but Mbappe doesn't automatically make them favorites in every game.
It can't be the lack of a well-known global superstar, either, because they know Yamal is elite, too, and few teams have similar depth.
Spain brought a whole ass TEAM.

"YOUR FLYER LOOKS LIKE GARBAGE"
I don't think I've seen any of these IRL, but they're everywhere online and make me wistful for the good old days of Microsoft Publisher and the ignorantly earnest abuse of mismatched fonts.
I also hate the LinkedIn cartoon slop that's still making the rounds.

No love for Paraguay or their style of play, but it's always amazing that commentators love the "dark arts" and "professional fouls" when it's an elite player or favored team, but are outraged when the underdogs do it.
It doesn't help that the French exaggerate every foul, without any criticism, making me want to foul them myself!

Is Landon Donovan a clown?!?
First he says Spain is under the radar, and then he suggests some Spaniards might be worried about facing the US in the quarterfinals. 🤔 🤣
That's not homer shit, that's 🤡 💩.

The line of librarians queued up at the Amazon Business booth might be one of the most depressing things I've seen this weekend. 😞

A Father's Day with only two new books is weird, but my TBR is out of control, so I get it.
I usually treat myself to a few books after a holiday, but this year will be all about the upcoming Steam Summer Sale.
James Patterson will say it's libraries' fault, though. 🤡💩

Kaepernick had so much potential to do something good and chose this bullshit instead, despite getting plenty of feedback that it's a terrible idea. FOH!

Publishers choosing the nuclear option with James Patterson makes me think the recent library ebook bills are gaining real momentum and have a chance at succeeding.
They're sensing the tide is turning and are willing to risk their reputations to keep readers from having a consumer-friendly way to access ebooks that still makes them plenty of money.
If you're a publisher that doesn't support your primary political organization's agenda, now would be a good time to speak up.
