  Episode 91: How Books Are Destroyed

  Aug 7, 202626 minS2

  Yes, everyone is mad about Anthropic chopping up millions of books, but here's the, well, million dollar question. Are you mad on more than just aesthetic grounds? Are you mad about what's happening to the world's knowledge and access to it…or is this just about paper and ink? Em talks about how your bookish heroes destroy books every day, why what Anthropic did is (extremely technically) legal, and why other AI execs are using this bad press to make you think they're strawberry shortcake.

  Episode 87: A Return to Reading

  Feb 27, 202622 minS2

  <p>I’m just going to be honest with y’all—I’m overwhelmed. This podcast is about exploring the world of publishing and providing a resource for authors, but everything is moving so quickly that it’s easy to feel left behind even when my goal is to stay on top of things.</p><p>So I feel that, in this episode, it’d be good to get back to basics.</p><p>Let’s talk about reading. Yeah, remember that? If I’m not mistaken, that’s what we’re all doing here, or at least why we started.</p><p>In Ep...
