Authors Challenge Metaโ€™s Use Of Their Books For Training AI Meta used millions of pirated books to train its latest AI model, Llama 3. All this raises questions about Mark Zuckerberg's leadership style.

Every writer is furious to learn that our books have been stolen. I know I am. I have worked for over 30 years to develop my skills, and then for one immoral twat to steal it because he couldn't be bothered.

OpenAI says Chinese rivals using its work for their AI apps ChatGPT maker says it will need extra protection from US government, following emergence of Chinese rival, DeepSeek.

So. OpenAi is whining because the Chinese rivals are using it's work? I don't even know what to say to that.

Maybe it's time to start digging for ivory in the back yard. Loads of Vikings roamed Oslo, long before it was Oslo of course. It would be fasinating to find a Japanese piece made with Viking ivory. Somehow they did get around, the Vikings๐Ÿ˜†

I joined here a long time ago, apparently, I can see that from the last thing I posted. Now that I'm back, I'm finding loads of friends and new friends, and this is awesome!
Since last time I posted, I have a new book coming. It's a historical WW2 set in Norway. #historical #WW2

I read a book a day as a kid. It saved me on so many levels. I can't really claim to be much of a communicator. What goes on in my head, usually don't make it out of my mouth ๐Ÿ˜‚ Intersting article, though.

I used to write six books a year, so it adds up. Not sure I can do that again. Bloody hard work and not much time for anything else. I did have to use the calculator ... ๐Ÿ˜‚

My covers 'A Very Hygge Holiday', contemporary romance set in Norway. Lots of food, pretty cold in the winter, lovely summer. One has a quirky Viking dog, the other a very floofy Norwegian forest cat. Design by the publisher One More Chapter. It looks very Nordic ๐Ÿ˜‚
