Welcome to Litsy!

I loved this book. I learned so much about the growth of the two main AI firms, DeepMind & OpenAI, and the philosophy and financing behind their operations. It was really interesting to me to put all of the headlines about AI over the last few years into context, and to flesh out my understanding of this complicated topic. And the author Parmy Olson is amazing. Highly recommend.

I thought this was very interesting. On the more frustrating side was the ethics… the racism, sexism, made up information/citations, etc. Frustrating in that there were (at least initially) people hired to help prevent this, but (without saying too much in my review), that just didn‘t pan out. I have read a bit about AI, and at work (I‘m a librarian), AI has become a big topic, so not everything was new to me.

Thank you St. Martin‘s Press & Macmillan Audio for both of my ARCs of this book! I don‘t know anything about AI. I don‘t follow any sort of news that has to do with AI. I‘ve only played around with AI for fun so I didn‘t think I would like this book very much but I liked this book. I found it very interesting hearing about how AI was created and I liked learning about the tech startups.

I was wrong about the publication date of this book. I thought it was being released today, September 9 but it‘s actually being released tomorrow, September 10. I was worried that I was going to be late getting this book read and reviewed but I‘m on time. That makes me feel better because I just finished reading this book.

I‘m reading this Netgalley ARC being published today and I‘m still not finished with it but I have an hr and a half left in the audio ARC so I should be able to get finished today. This is a nonfiction book about AI, ChatGPT and also tech startups like Google, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter so I would say that this book is set in the USA.

Here‘s my progress on this Netgalley ARC that I‘m reading. It‘s 3 AM right now. It‘s being published on Monday but I‘m still not finished yet. Maybe I can finish on Monday and then post my review afterwards. If I don‘t finish this book on Monday or have my review posted afterwards then I‘ll be 1 day late. It‘s hard to read ARCs on time when I have a lot of them. I have about 21 ARCs to read this month.

Here‘s my progress on this ARC. I‘d like to keep going because this is interesting but I‘ve read enough of this book today. It‘s 3 AM so I‘m going to go to bed and read more of this tomorrow.

This book is about AI and ChatGPT and it talks about tech startups. I don‘t know anything about AI but I think this book is interesting. This book is being published on Mon, Sept 9. I have 3 hrs left in my audio ARC of this book. Will I get finished by Monday? I‘m getting close to the publication day so I don‘t know but I think I can do it if I set aside 3 hours at night just to read this book. I can do that. I‘m up all night anyway.

Here‘s my progress on this Netgalley ARC that I started. I was approved for the ebook of this book from St. Martin‘s Press and approved for the audiobook of this book from Macmillan Audio. I listened to this book while I was walking my dog at the park today. I left the house at 3:30 PM and I got back home at 5 PM. The weather was nice so why not spend the afternoon at the park? The weather will be nice on Sunday too so I want to go again.

I went on a Netgalley requesting spree even though I already have ARCs to read. I probably should have logged out after I published my review on Netgalley for the fashion book I just finished reading but I saw too many books I wanted to read. I already have digital ARCs of Supremacy and The Money Trap but I want to listen to them on audio. All of the ones I requested are books I want to read.

I just got approved for another ARC to read this Fall.
