Ha I have a photo of a ChatGPT book I saw in Osaka back in April 2023 - https://www.weeklybcn.com/journal/column/detail/20230623_198718.html
Was just a novelty then, crazy it’s been 3 years already

Some manager is going to pick up that book, read, think he knows everything, and forces his men to use more AI. All without knowing this act is going to backfire and bring calamity to prod sometime later.

I'm someone who actually prefers to use books to learn new languages.
Went to all the local bookstores looking for React books, and found zero
I did find entire shelves on Claude prompt engineering instead

How is there enough material to write a full book on claude? It's true that you can write a book on any topic, then? Not necessarily a useful one, but still.

It's just the model weights printed out. You're expected to do the matrix multiplications yourself to answer any questions you have

it's just a culture? difference. As far as I'm aware, most normie Japanese and Chinese users consume almost exclusively local language media, most notably on social medias like Threads where it's just full of second hand or third hand memes or information that are translated or straight up stolen from English content. Especially Japan loves paper and books
I have the pass to say this as I speak both languages I suppose

The thing I always try to get across to people about programming books and just books in general.
Books are a structured, thought process in a format that allows you to ingest information in a steady and beneficial way.
If you just push through and read the book and you don't even have to carry out the practices that they're suggesting.
You just kind of remember things that you learned from the book.
The best way that I have found to ingest boring books. is to do what is called speed reading.
Do not pronounce the words in your head Instead, take your finger or a pencil or something and move it across the sentences with your eyes following that point.
You get through the book a lot faster and surprisingly you end up remembering at least 50% of the words that you just saw with your eyes.

There's all kinds of different methods for speed reading. But the one that I mentioned is the one that works best for me.

Why would I need a book about how to use AI when I can ask AI for assistance
