Prolly not gonna do that again.

No no, that is not how it works. We are going to expect at least three cards from you next year!

I was reading without specifcally catering to Bingo, and filled the squares naturally, my aim was that I’ll target the missing squares when I only have a 2-3 months left and get a Bingo, but life happened and couldn’t do it. Still, here’s the status:

And in visual form:

Yeah, I am going to see if I can cheat. I have quite a few kids’ books which are very quick to read. I don’t read most of them, but do check out a few now and then to discuss them and understand how their tastes are changing. 😀 Let’s see if there are any that can get me Bingo!

I had my issues with the series, have read the first two, but haven’t gotten around to the third yet. Not sure I want to continue.

Ooh nice. May add it to my list.

And yeah, hopefully will get back to reading soon.

Yeah, it’s a fediverse favourite.

Argh! I still have covered many boxes but still no Bingo. Was hoping to go for specific boxes in last couple of months, but didn’t even get time to read.

Thanks! Things have started to settle a bit, hopefully everything will be sorted out soon.

No new 100 book series?

Thanks for the heads up. We are going to look into it.

BTW after you called them out they have started adding a bigger difference between the posts.

Nice to see people stepping up to keep the instance running smoothly! Thanks everyone!

Congratulations! Glad to hear about your recovery.

No worries. Thanks for the update!

Hope everything works well out for jgrim.

You’ve been doing a great job so I am sure the site is in safe hands. Good luck!

Hehe, have fun!

Haha, it has been quite a while since I read it, but I recall liking the original so might be worth a try with Zombies too.

“Why read another human’s writing if an AI’s is better?”

I think that was the whole point, this is “the hidden cost of AI Art”. AI (or LLMs) might be able to compete (or supersede us) on the end-product level, but it can’t create “art”. If you don’t care about art, then the whole discussion doesn’t matter, but then it will cost us our growth as humans.

Thanks. That sounds fun, will pick it up.

Nice! this weeks thread is up btw. If you want to post there too. We usually post it on Tuesday, but can get delayed sometimes.

I loved the Devabad Trilogy. Though I think that was mainly because of the setting. Just found out that she wrote a short stories collection in the series during covid. In case you want to read more after finishing the series.
