One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

My personal brand as an author is basically: “competent women making sound decisions while sarcastic but loyal men follow them into danger” …and then dinosaurs attack everyone. Equal opportunity “Unalive by Dinosaur” in this house. TIME TRAP launches soon 👀 www.kickstarter.com/projects/eli...

OMG this would be amazing for con folks. And everybody, generally - but those of us who go weeks without significant exposure to humans and then see literally thousands in a weekend? Game changing.

I've read this, and if you like romance, time travel, and dinosaurs, this is definitely the book for you! Time-traveling dinosaur scientists, shenanigans and adventures, and romance. Plus the art is really cool!
