The ""Not Gay"" congressman is amusing in his superficiality and Reagan-esque pretensions. The Victorian-era taxidermist (also ""not gay"") is boring & obsessive. Quirky & original, and enjoyable enough.</p><p><a href="/tags/bookreview/" rel="tag">#BookReview</a> <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#Books</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#Bookstodon</a> </p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://aus.social/@wildwoila" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>WildWoila</span></a></span> @wildwoila@wyrms.de<br></p>

<p>I was gonna write about the Shy Girl book scuffle, but this video basically says everything I was going to say anyway. In short, I'm starting to get just as annoyed with casual AI amateur vigilantes as I am with Tech Bros. That being said, I'd happily punch a Tech Bro the same way I'd happily punch a Nazi , if I could, so at least there's that small leverage! I can't stand both equally, partially because I just don't trust the reading comprehension of the mainstream internet at all. this video is worth a watch because this is bigger than the author using AI. Like, for example, the secret fact that publishers actually love LLM technology but can't say it yet. This video doesn't say that, though, but still worth a watch! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv_3L_1avKM" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv_3L_1avKM"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv_3L_</span><span class="invisible">1avKM</span></a> <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#Books</a> <a href="/tags/publishing/" rel="tag">#Publishing</a> <a href="/tags/booktube/" rel="tag">#BookTube</a> <a href="/tags/ai/" rel="tag">#AI</a> <a href="/tags/llm/" rel="tag">#LLM</a> <a href="/tags/youtube/" rel="tag">#YouTube</a></p>
<p>If you can’t afford any of my e-books, or audiobooks, just contact me and tell me what format and the book you want. I will give it to u. That’s all I ask. This way, you don’t have to deal with Torrance and the like. The only downside I guess is I’ll probably ask you to subscribe to my RSS feed or newsletter, but I think that’s a small price to pay. <a href="https://sightlessscribbles.com/contact/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="sightlessscribbles.com/contact/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">sightlessscribbles.com/contact</span><span class="invisible">/</span></a> <a href="/tags/free/" rel="tag">#Free</a> <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#Books</a> <a href="/tags/book/" rel="tag">#Book</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#Bookstodon</a> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span></p>
