As we're using her paint colours, it seems appropriate to mention that Janelle Shane's book on AI was published just last week:
You Look Like a Thing and I Love You

Ace, that's at least one Christmas present sorted

Yes that looks interesting, I've ordered one. Now have to decide whether to keep it or give it to a chile (and which one?).

Trying, and failing, to find the ebook outside of Amazon. I might have to get the dead tree edition.

It's available on Kobo if that's any help.

It's not yet been released where I am, but I've popped in to a local bookshop which is/who are going to import a copy for me.

She writes nice clear prose. A little more technical detail might have been nice, but the references are thorough so it's going to be easy to dig deeper into the subject. Recommend.

Thanks - I've added it to my list. I quite like non-technical overviews of fields I know nothing about, as long as they provide references. And I'm way behind the curve on understanding AI.

Ha! I'm now a 'snowbonk'.

Cool.

The latest episode of the Lingthusiasm podcast (Ep 40) has an interview with her that is worth a listen.
