The worst danger of AI isn't that it exploits creators, nor that it guzzles energy, wastes water and hands power to an undeserving elite, but that it severs our links to each other. It discourages conversation, spontaneity, empathy, critical thinking: everything that makes us better than machines.

Anschen Conradie reviews 'Swartbooij & Titus' by Karen Jennings www.facebook.com/story.php?st...

Our authors Sheryl and Sandy James organised a friendly launch in the Limpopo province with their community members, family and friends on Sat 7 Feb. They were expertly interviewed by @gailgil.bsky.social (author of CAT THERAPY).

The wonderful @gailgil.bsky.social went up to Limpopo to launch UNBRIDLING (@indeedbooks.bsky.social) with the two authors - remarkable athlete Sheryl James and her Momager Sandy James - last weekend, and judging by the photographs, it was a heart-warming event.
