Dave Eggers told OpenAI staff that ChatGPT was ‘silencing an entire generation’

AI, Books, Digital Marketing, Entertainment, News, OpenAI, SEO Tips, Technology /
Last year, Sam Altman invited author Dave Eggers to give a talk to around 200 OpenAI staffers. The man has written countless novels, screenplays, pieces of journalism, started McSweeney’s, and founded multiple schools and nonprofits that support writers and the arts more broadly. So one might expect he’d roll into the company’s offices and offer […]

Japanese Gothic is a gorgeously grotesque ghost story

Book Review, Books, Column, Digital Marketing, Entertainment, SEO Tips, Technology /
I’ll give the usual caveat: The horror novel Japanese Gothic is best experienced going in with as little information as possible. Content warnings for graphic gore, scenes of domestic violence, self-harm, and mental illness. If you’re okay with that, then consider pausing here. While I will try to keep this relatively spoiler-free, there will be […]

On Trails is a wandering tale that blends hiking, science, and history

Book Review, Books, Column, Digital Marketing, Entertainment, Science, SEO Tips, Technology /
Hiking is one of life’s great joys. Turning off the screens and stepping out into nature for an extended period of time, perhaps even several days, is rejuvenating. Unfortunately, as someone with two young kids and a bad back, I’m not really able to go backpacking anymore. So I often find myself trying to live […]

Book Review, Books, Column, Digital Marketing, Entertainment, SEO Tips, Technology /
This might feel like a somewhat obvious recommendation to some, but it flew under my radar until now. Alfred Bester’s The Stars My Destination (originally published as Tiger! Tiger! in the UK) is a 1956 sci-fi novel that some have cited as a precursor to cyberpunk. It’s a work I admit I have some conflicted […]

In the coming years, HBO wants its new Harry Potter series to become “the streaming event of the decade” as it adapts each of the franchise’s seven original books.

Two of my favorite color e-book readers are the cheapest they’ve been in months

Amazon, Books, Deals, Digital Marketing, Entertainment, Gadgets, SEO Tips, Technology /
Color isn’t essential in an e-reader, but let’s be honest, it’s a nice perk that can bring digital books, magazines, comics, cookbooks, and other publications to life. The catch is that color ebook readers tend to be substantially pricier, which makes today’s deals stand out. Right now, the Kindle Colorsoft (16GB) and Kobo Libra Colour […]
