It's Always More Complicated

Am pissed off with Goodreads, which - or possibly it is some Amazon bot which is doing this - is totally inconsistently doing Weird Stuff to the information pertaining to the Clorindaverse books which I carefully manually input myself at time of publication and which is now being messed up.

I.e. existence of ebooks being disappeared (2 editions being listed rather than 3) - cover image not showing up - and something having ingested all the ISBN info into the Kindle entry so I cannot re-input that into a new ebook entry (I was wont to do this and just have the ASIN for the Kindle entry) - also having to delete whatever it is image the system thinks has been uploaded for the cover and re-uploading the perfectly good one that was already there.

And why this has happened to some volumes in this extensive saga and not others, who can say.

In other news today, some random passing thorts:

If this is what he thinks, a) he has not been reading the right kind of science fiction, has he, because there is a fairly long tradition of This Is A Very Disturbing Idea (e.g. David Karp, One) and b) it does explains why he can get behind AI reducing art and all creativity into gloop:

“I think we are moving to a world in which we all become cells in a single organism,” Zuckerberg replied, “where we can communicate automatically and can all work together seamlessly.”

Maybe I am interrogating this from the wrong perspective, but reading this: I’m married to a man but have erotic infatuations with women on television, I was going to myself, really, duckie, why don't you just write fanfic to get it out of your system?
