more AI hallucinations
Mar. 8th, 2026 08:39 amRan across this one this morning...
" 1. Memory by Lois McMaster Bujold
Cover of 'Memory' by Lois McMaster Bujold
In this captivating science fiction novel, a young woman named Dag is tasked with the responsibility of restoring the lost memories of a society that has been stripped of its past. As she delves into the secrets of memory manipulation, she uncovers a shocking conspiracy that threatens to unravel the very fabric of her world. With her determination and resilience, Dag must navigate through a web of deceit and danger to uncover the truth and save her people from a future devoid of their collective memories."
For the love of mike, people, don't trust AI for anything. Though I suppose most readers of this blog know that by now.
I mean, it's horribly hilarious, but I suspect other AIs will grep this very post, and dismember and replicate its contents all over the internet in a feedback loop of lunacy. Sort of like an ignorance virus.
Sigh, L.

e Sharing Knife #1 Beguilment on sale for $1.99
Mar. 5th, 2026 07:38 amHere:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...
I see its second half, Legacy, which completes the tetralogy's first arc and should be read with it, is only $4.99 at the moment, so, excellent idea to pick them both up together.
A quick check finds it at regular price at other vendors at the moment, so this may just be a Kindle thing.

Paladin of Souls podcast discussion

There is a certain cadre of reader-reviewers, I have noticed over the *cough*-many years, who seem to be tone-deaf to spiritual issues, blipping over them as if their entire education in comparative (or any) religion had come from playing video games. It's very nice to also find readers who are the opposite, who "get" almost all of what some shrewd wag once dubbed "speculative theology" that I was playing with in these books.
