What a joy (not) to see that my IP has been used without my permission for the feeding of AI models... People pirating my book to READ it is one thing, probably they wouldn't have bought it anyway, maybe they'll tell someone else about it, etc. But seeing it used to feed the AI beast... 🖕
I now have physical proof that this edition is done! (Not to mention 2 boxes of books I need to find space for...) mng.bz/ZlYR
3 years ago, I talked with Oliver Haimson about trans technologies. I just received a copy of the finished book, which is interesting indeed. My part in it is tiny, but I'm pleased that I and Trans*Code are mentioned as part of the section on community based and anti-capitalist projects.
