Tired of slow AI? Too bad! AI like ChatGPT runs on Python, but Microsoft just axed the Python Acceleration Team. They’d been making year-on-year speedups, targeting a game-changing 5x speedup. Cut!

@susannaclarke_ Loved Piranesi - the atmosphere you set was so beautiful and haunting! It's one of the highest rated books we've ever read in the Oxford SFF book club. If you're ever around Oxford, our group would love to meet you.

Imagine you’re aboard a small research space station, and the Big Bad rips a hole through your chest. This is the part where you have to do a cut and paste number on yourself, isn’t it? …not anymore.

The tech to turn stem cells from a blood sample from into egg cells is racing forward. People will be able to have children when they’re ready.
Science meets Sci-fi.

Oxford SFF Book Club Review: Stormdancer
Fusion of Japanese mythology with Industrial Revolution steampunk. A psychopathic shogun runs the country, but The Guild wields the power. Love the storm, but be ready for the reign to end.

Right after Open AI realeased ChatGPT to the public, the AI told me that AI should be world leaders on par with human leaders, making top-level decisions. It was so surreal: A real AI proposing AI overlords.

@LivvieHarts Thanks for sharing your experience. This could help a lot of aspiring and new authors decide whether or not to pay for a blue tick. It’s helpful to know it didn’t impact your engagement, and sad that people gave you such grief for trying.
@find_ch Several of the Oxford libraries are that gorgeous! But we meet in The Westgate Social, so people can have food and drinks… and be as loud as their strong opinions on the books. 😄

@scalzi >200 pages of hilarious Kaiju-preserving shenanigans, and they don’t get inducted into another ancient and most secret order?! Now I need a sequel! With 100% more lifting things!
Definitely the pop-song I needed. Thank you!

Great breakthroughs in #lifespan#healthspan extension. The new methods rejuvenate cells by decades, extend the lives of mice, and look safe. Someday, aging will be a choice.

@Buehlmeister We just finished reading The Blacktongue Thief for the Oxford SFF book club. And I've got to say, hats off to you, sir! That was one of the best books I've read in years! Fantastic character voice and world building!
