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.

Love this. I don't want to read books. I want to have read books. I heard that if you read a certain amount of books that when you die you get an achievement.

Been saying for years I wish I could spend less time lost in a good book and more time making my boss rich.

I mean, there are definitely some books I wish I could have read without having to suffer through the process of actually reading them. Looking at you, Three Body Problem.

But the last thing I want is an LLM giving me a badly mangled, partly invented Sunday of them.

Despite Poe's law, I'm reasonably confident OP is in fact being sarcastic. But because of Poe's law, we'll probably never know for certain.
