Authors Guild AI-Related Model Publishing Contract Clauses

My eyes hurt just looking at it.

Today Panzer stopped at The Authors Guild site. There he found a post with sample clauses concerning AI authors should get in their publishing contracts.

 

The post contains samples for nearly every use of AI with an author's material.

 

Panzer says, "Some of the things listed neither Mom nor I would have known to ask for in a contract."  

 

Note:This is a huge post. You'll need to decide what to bring to snack on.

Six Email (and Snail Mail) Web Scams to Avoid - Nate Hoffelder Blog

My work is finished for today.

Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere before he started home, when he decided to stop at Nate Hoffelder's blog. With no digging at all in the posts he found one about scams you need to be aware of.

In his post Nate Hoffelder lists six scams with samples. He explains the scams and how they work.

Panzer says, "This little kitty knew about most of these, but there were a couple he hadn't seen before."

Note: This is a longish post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin to snack on while you read.

Goodreads to Add Free Audio Samples

Audiobooks at Goodreads?

Panzer stopped in at GalleyCAT today. Our big bad kitty boy found a post by Dianna Dilworth about a new feature coming to Goodreads.

According to Ms. Dilworth's post, Goodreads (which is owned by Amazon) will begin offering samples of audiobooks from Audible.com (which is also owned by Amazon). In addition to your Goodreads account, you'll need an Audible.com account to listen to the audiobook samples.

Panzer says, "Hmmm. Sounds like Amazon's way to gain more Audible.com account owners. I knew things would change when Amazon bought Goodreads."
