Surprise! We have a new show!

Welcome to the Latchkey Library, where @briggonsnow and @thelaurenshippen revisit the old classics that raised them. We'll be reading our favorite public domain books, starting with the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, and discussing what we love about them.

Released three chapters at a time, you'll find entire audiobooks of beloved young reader books in this feed, with a discussion after each book is complete. If there's a book in the public domain you think we should read, tell us!

Currently reading: Hardy Boys #1, The Tower Treasure.

Come read with us! The library is always open 🤎

[thelaurenshippen]

a few months ago, Briggon and I were talking and he expressed the desire to someday record a Hardy Boys audiobook and I was like "well, they're public domain so we could just...do that" so we're just doing that!!!

we're both very passionate about reading and grew up reading all these old classic mysteries - and Briggon sure has a lot of audiobook experience (I'm learning) - so this just made sense. we're going to be working our way through the first Hardy Boys before diving into the first Nancy Drew. come join us!

my advice to the kids is that they should fight people on the playground while they can still get away with it without legal consequences

Im listening to a podcast ep about AI usage and the guest is saying he completely understands why people refuse to use it out of fear because he shares the same fears, and it's just so weird to me that it's never ever acknowledged that some people don't use it not because they're afraid but because it just holds no appeal. There are things I'm sure learning models are very useful for but none of them have anything to do with me. Yes I'm a bit of a ludite but I completely failed to resist the lure of the phone, or social media, I've never used chatgpt because I have just never wanted to. I feel like the entire debate is instantly reframed once you acknowledge that it's not a necessary service that people either work to resist or avoid out of fear. For most people it's just an online tool, and for me and I know for lots of others too it's just not that important.

It's not that interesting or useful to me, it's holds no appeal, I am resisting nothing. I could already do everything I wanted I don't need a new tool. It really is that simple and I would feel this way even if it wasn't worrying and evil in various ways. We HAVE to resist this narrative that AI is everywhere because people want it, because it's necessary, because it's an improvement, because people can't live without it. AI is everywhere because tech CEOs and investors want to make something from their massive investments. It is incredibly resistable to me. Just don't have an interest in it. This needs to be part of the AI conversation if we have any hope of saving ourselves from the data mining clutches of big tech (AI specifics aside)

Oh please let Grammarly get sued into oblivion

[jv]

How the hell they greenlighted that. How there is no one there with a minimum of common sense to shout that this was going to be the outcome. How their legal department didn't murder every single engineer to prevent this from shipping

"We take criticism seriously" obviously you do not.

Too late for a "whoopsie, our bad", fuckers.

Superhuman, the tech company behind the writing software Grammarly, is facing a class action lawsuit over an AI tool that presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—none of whom consented to have their names appear within the product.

Julia Angwin, an award-winning investigative journalist who founded The Markup, a nonprofit news organization that covers the impact of technology on society, is the only named plaintiff in the suit, which does not call for a specific amount in damages but argues that damages across the plaintiff class are in excess of $5 million. She was among the many individuals, alongside Stephen King and Neil deGrasse Tyson, offered up via Grammarly’s “Expert Review” tool as a kind of virtual editor for users.

Imagine being a product manager in grammarly and going like "fuck yeah, we are going to add a a Stephen King agent to our product" without immediately having a little part of your brain that goes "uh the dude probably has enough money to buy our entire company three times over, and he could field an army of lawyers against us for using his name without his permission".

Imagine being so full of yourself that you think you can just use the literal most successful author alive's name without his consent.

Holy fuck.

Confronting the CEO of the AI company that impersonated me

Superhuman CEO Shishir Mehrotra responds to the Grammarly “expert review” controversy, and whether AI is extracting more value than it creat

One thing about these AI tech bro ceos, they have no concept of shutting the fuck up. It is almost impressive.

READ THIS INTERVIEW! I'm not sure I've ever read a more vicious interview, the journalist does not let up, does not let him get away with nonanswers unchallenged. God how I wish more journalists acted like this in interviews.

Grammarly is being bluntly and forcefully removed from united states .gov computers, starting IMMEDIATELY (26 mar 26).
