So, in the last ten days I've been reading the "dumb luck and dead heroes" series by Skyler Ramirez. I stumbled onto this series on Goodreads, probably in the "also enjoyed" section for another book.

Initially, I tought the books were ok, but reading them, I found the storyline going in some strange directions. I also find it strange that there is hardly any character development in the books. I dug into it a little deeper, and found that all of these books have been published in the last two and a half years, together with some other books 14 in total.

So, digging a bit further into his profile on Goodreads; He's currently reading his own books, books by an author named A.B. Franklin who just published his first book, and an author named Jack Bodett who has published six books this year. A.B. Franklin is returning the favor and reading Skyler Ramirez' books.

All in all, this makes me guess that these writers make extensive use of LLM's while writing these books. I googled Ramirez' name, and found his website. Visiting the website only confirms the feeling that it's all LLM and AI imaging.

Any toughts on the subject?

The toilet seat in the bathroom upstairs has two part hinges, where you mount two pins on the toilet and snap the seat and lid on. Something broke in the snapping part this week. Fixed it by removing some plastic from the clamping mechanism, put some epoxy putty in there and around the pins, then placed the seat back. It's still on there today, so it worked I guess.
