Actionable info about ChatGPT

Revisado: 09-15-23

I stumbled upon this podcast by accident while searching for an audiobook on ChatGPT. The blend of expert and everyday experience allowed me, as a beginner in the field, to jump into the conversation as if I were a participant. The humorous response to the Vice article was worthwhile.

Inspiring

Revisado: 06-05-23

Rich in detail, both external and internal to the point of view character, this novel wastes little time telling why we should care about this world, preferring to immerse us in it and let us draw our own conclusions.

Not what I was expecting… way better!

Revisado: 08-31-22

A side-splitting jaunt into a speculative thrill ride that takes historical figures and warps them like Picasso! I can definitely sense the connection with The Simpson and Futurama.

I wanted to like this…

Revisado: 08-06-22

The premise is pretty unoriginal. That said, it could work if it had something other than camp fueling the plot, but it just doesn’t. To be fair, I’ve had not made it about halfway through, but not even one of my favorite nerd commentators can salvage a story told using a narrator disguised as a character. I wish I could get my credit back.

I thought the best had already come…

Revisado: 04-12-22

But with Babylon’s Ashes, we are treated to a wealth of character exploration going far beyond the crew of the Rocinante and her enemies. We taste the full flavor of Belter culture in all its subtle variations. We get to dive deeper into the relatively hard science of the setting. We are left with alluring clues about unknowable entities and forces which should stay in play in future novels of the series. Finally, we gain insight into how the story stood before it was adapted to the small screen that makes the series seem like a well-meaning abridged version, rather than the stories given a richer treatment with audiovisual effects. I couldn’t stop listening.

Amazingly beautiful and strange

The voice performance was agile and immersive. The story was way ahead of its time, but focused more upon the bizarre sexuality than I felt was necessary to drive the story.

A bold reading of the basis for Western literature

Revisado: 03-18-18

As was surely the intent of its composers, this poetic telling of the struggle of bodies and hearts and minds for the sacred city of Troy weaves together threads of myth, history, and human drama to form a living tapestry in the imagination of the listener.

Rosario Dawson nails it

Revisado: 03-03-18

A hard boiled thriller set in an eminently plausible lunar city of the future. I so hope this makes it to the big screen.

An intriguing vision of the future

Revisado: 12-04-17

This book has opened up a realm of possibility for me as a student of progressive change. It not only introduced the concept of the social business, a self-sustaining not for profit entity devoted to promoting the common good in some capacity, but also to the efforts which the United Nations has made so far in defining and solving the world's most pressing problems.

A brilliantly-performed classic

Revisado: 11-08-17

I loved it. One of my favorite audio books so far. Sandra Burr makes Auel's speculative drama come to life with believable characterization.
