🔇 🔇 🔇 My book, Deep Unlearning, is now available for preorders! I don't know how people write so many books because this one took a lot out of me. It turns out, I had a lot to say 😂, with editors cutting out 50k of my words 🫣

✴️ You can now preorder it at www.simonandschuster.com/books/Deep-U....
Cover of my new book, Deep Unlearning: The Rise of AI and The Radicalization of a Tech Idealist. There are two concentric circles in the book, the left being circuits in black an white, and the right being a bunch of dots with orange accents. The cover background is cream. And the words are written in black except for "Un" which is in orange.

Happy one-month birthday to An American Problem! Thanks to everyone who has engaged with it so far.

And if you are trying to understand why Black turnout was through the roof this week, and what the implications of the death of the 1965 VRA are, well... I think we do a nice job laying it out:
An American Problem
The rise and fall of the Voting Rights Act, from the triumph of its passage in 1965 to its evisceration by the Supreme Court in their 2013 decision in Shelby County v. Holder

Does anyone have a reliable source for a summation of the French protests?

My son has a slightly skewed view and I'd like him to read up a bit.

I'd also take US sources on protesting vs riots/looting and media framing of those.

So I got to be a guest at a public library Witch Club today! It’s for middle school kids. It was really cool! We talked about Paganism and made votive holders. 🙌🧙🏻‍♀️

Bookman: I remember when the librarian was a much older woman: Kindly, discreet, unattractive. We didn't know anything about her private life. We didn't want to know anything about her private life. She didn't have a private life. / S03E05 The Library

Not just that it's an AI illustration, but it certainly gets across a specific idea about who is welcome in archives.

Heads up for people looking for #LISJobs at the Boston College Library.
screenshot of a LinkedIn post from Tim Lepczyk, head librarian of technology at Boston College, announcing two jobs at the Library. The post is illustrated with an obviously AI faux woodcut illustration of old white people in Victorian dress sitting around a table. Two comments are below: Violet Fox asks "Why would you use an AI graphic to anmounce the job?" and Tim Lepczyk responds "because I had fun doing it".

Before anyone asks - what appear to be the highest levels are actually pictures of book spines printed on back of shelves, not actual books.

A Halloween books cartoon for @theguardian.com
One: It is all hallows' eve. The undead walk the earth, revenging themselves upon the living. At dawn they will return to the cold of the grave But first they will stop by the library and pick up some books for the coming year below ground.. Two: A door has been left ajar. A single brave librarian waits at the desk. Late fees are waived. The returned books will be exorcised by a priest. The townspeople know nothing. Three: By morning, all that remains is a pile of novels in a heap of ashes where one ghoul, having spent too long browsing, was incinerated by the rising sun. A librarian dusts off the books and returns them to the shelves

Numbers on the OverDrive order I just put through: 47 items at a cost of $41.22 per unit, which is well over my average so far for the fiscal year of $26.29/unit, but that's what libraries get for buying audiobooks (sad trombone). #CollectionDevelopment #LibraryDayInTheLife #LibrarySky
