Before everyone gets excited by this, it is not authors who benefit but publishers, they are the legal owner of the rights and what I hear is that they will offer 20% to authors. So a mega payday for publishers: a few bills paid for authors: a slap on the wrist for tech. Yay

Fresh on the heels of the landmark Anthropic settlement, Apple was sued in a class action today, for essentially the same thing. Authors are suing Apple for training its Apple Intelligence language models on datasets "including thousands of pirated books."

It is a special day and even more special evening in Hookland. For today is St. John's Eve and this means feast fires and bone fires, St. John's wort and malkins. Of course it also means the Bone Horse will need roasted ale and cake. Art @MariaStrutz #StJohnsEve

This image from the 1903 excavation directed by M R James, shows the remains of abbots of St Edmundsbury lying in their coffins in the chapter house. After their discovery, the coffins were given new covers and the abbots were left to rest under the grass of Abbey Gardens.

When I finally met my biological mother in my mid twenties, she revealed that she had watched The Birds while pregnant with me. This may explain something, but I've no idea what

Lee Chang-dong newly translated short story collection is an illustrious introduction to his lesser known literary career.
