A Bit Too Much
Author: Johnny Clack
Publisher: Johnny Clack
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 90
Book Description
“I hated looking for work. I hated circling the classifieds, I hated the web searches, I hated the web job sites, I hated the phony resumes, I hated the phony interviews. What do you think your greatest strength is? I got to the highest level of Wolfenstein II The New Colossus. How do you think that would help you in this job? Hand-eye coordination. High moral character - I killed a lot of bad guys. Oh, and I killed a few bad women too. Um, I killed some good guys, but I was still a beginner when that happened. What’s your greatest weakness? How much time you got? That would be an honest interview. But I need a job, so you have to make shit up and look like you care." Jack Lack has just lost another job to the invisible forces of automation, algorithms, and artificial intelligence. This time, though, he decides to get off the high-tech merry-go-round of serial job loss. This time, he is determined to fight back - but against who? And how? A Bit Too Much is a darkly humorous satire that will intrigue readers of contemporary fiction with its intriguing portrayal of a young man who grew up in the haze of Texas Gulf Coast refineries and is facing an uncertain future. “4/5 Stars – Loved It! The fear of losing one’s job to a robot is not misplaced, as 2019 news reports say that one-quarter of American jobs are at a high risk of automation. Clack has picked up on this sentiment perfectly and woven an all-too-real story around it. Descriptions of Amazon’s automated stores and Uber’s driverless cars give the story a sense of immediacy. The writing is smooth and descriptions are informative…tongue-in-cheek humor and biting sarcasm…” - Satabdi Mukherjee, Reedsy

Pages : 277
Book Description
An edgy, realistic debut novel praised by the New York Times bestselling author of Between Shades of Gray, Ruta Sepetys, as “a beautiful reminder that amid our broken pieces we can truly find ourselves.” Alexi Littrell hasn’t told anyone what happened to her over the summer by her backyard pool. Instead, she hides in her closet, counts the slats in the air vent, and compulsively scratches the back of her neck, trying to make the outside hurt more than the inside does—and deal with the trauma. When Bodee Lennox—“the Kool-Aid Kid”—moves in with the Littrells after a family tragedy, Alexi discovers an unlikely friend in this quiet, awkward boy who has secrets of his own. As their friendship grows, Alexi gives him the strength to deal with his past, and Bodee helps her summon the courage to find her voice and speak up about the rape that has changed the course of her life.

Pages : 212
Book Description
‘Refreshingly clear-eyed ... Faking It is an insightful and intelligent book that’s a must for those looking for facts about AI hype.’ – Books+Publishing ‘AI will be as big a game-changer as the smart phone and the personal computer – or bigger! This book will help you navigate the revolution.’ – Dr Karl Kruszelnicki Artificial intelligence is, as the name suggests, artificial and fundamentally different to human intelligence. Yet often the goal of AI is to fake human intelligence. This deceit has been there from the very beginning. We’ve been trying to fake it since Alan Turing answered the question ‘Can machines think?’ by proposing that machines pretend to be humans. Now we are starting to build AI that truly deceives us. Powerful AIs such as ChatGPT can convince us they are intelligent and blur the distinction between what is real and what is simulated. In reality, they lack true understanding, sentience and common sense. But this doesn’t mean they can’t change the world. Can AI systems ever be creative? Can they be moral? What can we do to ensure they are not harmful? In this fun and fascinating book, Professor Toby Walsh explores all the ways AI fakes it, and what this means for humanity – now and in the future.
