Isn't the Serkis reading wonderful? I wasn't surprised, but also, he exceeded my expectations as to *how* wonderful it would be!

Those books are so good!

Morning! After a slow start, I'm having fun with Never the Roses by Jennifer Lambert.

Omigosh! I'll miss the podcast, which is one of my autolistens. But I'm looking forward to the next project. 💚

(Sorry, late reply!) Thanks for this. Love Bardugo, will listen. I'm glad if the romantasy label gives some established authors a chance at new readers (e.g. Kate Elliott, maybe?), but so much of it seems like a chance for trad pub to shove more of what they *think* readers want at readers.

What a fabulous idea. Thank you!

Fabulous! Best of luck getting to the finish line.

Thank you. I'm grateful that my pivot to English editing is gathering a bit of pace! But it's grim to see all those project managers suddenly popping up on LinkedIn and trying not to look panicked.

I'm so sorry. I've been lucky in a way - I started out in 2000 and got lucky with a few decent project managers who sent me nice work. Over the past five years, my work has slowly evaporated and all those PMs have been laid off. It's not a profession I'd recommend to anyone now.

Just found the source, and oh blimey. www.londoncentric.media/p/ai-artwork...

Thank you (again!).

Do you have a link to this, please? (I get the gist, but would like the context.)

As a professional translator and copyeditor who is now more or less an ex-translator due to "initiatives" like this, I thank you.

LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language.
It doesn't make the claims more credible to us, it just tidies them up.
