A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Finally: the days where one has to read a book in one continious session are numbered. With this bookmark one can interrupt reading a book at any time. Also, the bookmark offers you an AI summary of the things that just have been read.

This is such an over-engineered and useless piece of ~~shit~~ tech - so ridiculous that this has to be satire. At least, this still seems to be a concept. Although the article has been posted in March 2025, I have not found any evidence that this is a joke, unfortunately. They seem to be serious with it.

just use the receipt from the physical book purchase from your local used bookshop. or buy a bookmark from them.

useless trash, that's all this is. remember to cancel all subscriptions and stop consuming. let them feel it... doubt it'll happen because people are EASILY swayed with junk and like being abused apparently. Sigh... world's so bad

Buy a bookmark? For like $5? Use the $5 bill instead, and have some emergency coffee money with your book at all times.

yeah, to support local businesses that sell actual books

I've ... ah ... spent significantly more than $5 on a bookmark before.

My favourite bookstores just give you a bookmark with every purchase. Even if you order from them.

My favorite bookstores do that too. I was going to one so often, I had to ask them to not give me a new one because I already had 20 at home lol
