i think that really the main reason AI is so attractive to all the richest stupid people in the world is that they see it as a way to add a subscription fee to interacting with the world in general. why bother getting people to sign up for 8000 services if you can just charge rent on being alive

This infuriates me.

They're embedding an AI in Kindles that is empowered to analyze our books without our permission and tell the reader about them....likely inaccurately.

Stop gatekeeping where people buy books from. If you can shop at indie shops or @bookshop.org awesome! If you have a @barnesandnoble.com that feels like home, great. If you can't afford the higher price tags & use Amazon, it's okay. You're a reader in today's age. You're doing great. #booksky
