The Symbol Grounding Problem
Everything Is True
Ada Hoffmann's author newsletter
Before we get into today's post, some news:
RESURRECTIONS is up for pre-order on Kindle! (If you're not in the US, it may take a few days before it propagates to your country's version of Amazon; it took a day before it showed up for me in Canada, for instance.) If you've been looking forward to this book, please feel free to pre-order as soon as possible; the timing really does help. If you prefer a physical copy, I’ll let you know when those become available as well.
I don't remember if I announced this earlier, but I've been appointed to the SFWA Emerging Technologies Committee, where we'll do some projects and organizing related to the effect of new technologies - including, but not limited to, generative AI - on speculative fiction authors. It will be a lot of behind the scenes stuff that I mostly won't be able to publicly discuss, but I'm super excited.
And now, some cognitive science!
