And The Award Goes To...
We've got some more publishing industry drama on deck this week, where we dare to ask the question: what the hell happened at the Hugo Awards? TL;DR: stop asking questions it's all fine, and if it wasn't fine, yes it was. Suspicious votes, censorship, good old xenophobia, this story has it all.
In Mountains of Madness, Bill flew too close to the keyboard sun and his wings of PE foam melted before he could reach perfection. He has truly lost it. Do not get into keyboards, there is no going back.
Later in Artificial Insanity, there's finally some good AI news. There's now a way to poison the AI algorithms when they try to steal your art. Fight back against the robots and the tech bros stealing our creative labor with Nightshade: https://nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/downloads.html and block AI crawlers on your websites: https://neil-clarke.com/block-the-bots-that-feed-ai-models-by-scraping-your-website/
Worst Beats In The World brings us a report of this year's Grammy Awards, where the tributes to the "old guard" of the industry might have been overshadowed by some ill-timed circumstances. Also, our boy is Jimmy Fallon Big. You heard it hear first, The DeadEndRoad Show is the gateway to late night.
