So, again.. as I read "Death Be Not Proud" by John Gunther, 1949, we ALL read "Death Be Not Proud" by John Gunther, 1949.

I appreciate your patience.. and

"Thank you for your attention to this matter."

A great interview with former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne* on AI, the war on Iran which was NOT voted for etc.

"AI is sucking up human knowledge ... throwing it back ... and they are charging you for it. "

I'd add that dodgy billionaires are also tweaking the output to suit their agendas and exploit populations more. It begs belief that governments or civil services incorporate it at all into their departments. It is such a window to interference.

* Byrne is also author of an authoritative and entertaining book which reveals that music is ultimately shaped by the venues it gets played in and the media form it is played on. For instance, the number of beats per minute can rule out playing a song at certain live venues because the venue's reverberation will make it muddy.

Hi there @bookstodon , I just finished "Klara and the Sun" this morning and wow, this book will be living in my head for a while. So good. Elegantly plain language, a memorable narrator, and so much emotional complexity - #recommendedread #booklove #leseratte #bücherwurm #librophile

What are you reading?

My alarm goes off when it's still dark, so that my brain can wake up a bit before the morning family routines. Sometimes I open Mastodon, just to glance through for any big news to start the day.

This morning, I was immediately riveted in place by @vicki's keynote on "Build and keep your context window."

Vicki expertly weaves together multiple concepts across literature, social science, history, engineering, and familiar concepts for "data people".

This sat on the shelf a while after I bought it but I finally tucked into the 600+ page tome. And it's a ripper read 😁 Brendon is not only an excellent writer, but has pinpoint comedic timing as well, an absolute treasure in a historian.
