AI book being sold on B&N 😟 I’m so tired y’all.

I was looking for a book about a sky library. When I looked at the cover of this book I thought ‘That’s odd, a hardback for an ebook? That doesn’t look real? Then I noticed the lettering was all wrong 😑 . So I went down and checked the blurb. The blurb is so long it could only be done by AI slop
I clicked on the author. He only had this book.

It’s so gross honestly that B&N has green lit this nonsense. Ai slop is everywhere and it’s gotten me doing work when I just want to relax. I’m constantly looking up the work history of audiobook narrators to make sure they’re not AI. Or I’m searching prints and patterns in stores to see if a design is using AI.

American police departments are SELLING network devices that give them direct access to your cameras

The cheapest model is 350$ + a yearly 150$ subscription, and it goes up to 7300$ + 2300$/yr

Multiple police departments in the US have that exact same website, developed and deployed by Axon

Imagine paying money to install a government backdoor on your own network lol
