The slavering enthusiasm I have heard from some publishing CEO about AI is what worries me. And the fact that publishing bad books has never stopped those books selling.

Were you at the Harper Party. The Less Interesting Redmayne's speech went: "AI blah blah blah, we'll fight it... blah blah blah, but also, we'll lean into it." Lean in and fight! There's something Churchillian about that.

PS no, I have considered trying to write a book for HC just so I get invited to that party...

I think it's a party that looks good in pictures. The booze is free and you can find fun people to talk to but it's not as far as I'm concerned, an actual party. It's a corporate event. That said, I'm grateful to BigCat who have invited me for the last few years.

Lean in and fight sounds like something that tory sword person would say. Whatsherface. Penny Mordaunt that's it. Her "stand up and fight".
