Cassandra Khaw and Richard Kadrey are both powerhouse bestselling authors in their own rights. Now, they've merged their considerable talents in cosmic horror and urban fantasy to create the new novel, THE DEAD TAKE THE A TRAIN. In a New York City absolutely filthy with magic—monsters and the mundane intermingle. When that cohabitation breeds horrific problems—and it always does—you need people like Julie Crews to clean up the mess. But being a coked-out, broke ass, pig-pen disaster of a magician like Julie creates as many issues as it solves. Struggling to make rent and constantly getting screwed by her clients, Julie is desperate to score some real paying work. Complicating matters is the arrival of her childhood friend Sarah, the prim and pretty opposite to Julie's deadbeat, mage-punk lifestyle. Sarah's brightness is just what she needs, and the vibes are way more than platonic. But Sarah brought her own baggage to the big city. When Julie's pompous Wall Street ex-boyfriend Tyler calls, offering big money for a highly suspicious job, she can't refuse. Getting tangled up in his lies, and the innumerable arms of a dream-eating demon, will be least of their issues, though. Because Tyler's corporate job serves some seriously eldritch monstrosities, big ugly elder god-things on a schedule to consume their workforce. And maybe the world. This, of course, is all about to become Julie's giant mess to solve—and make infinitely worse along the way. THE DEAD TAKE THE A TRAIN is a visceral, violent, wickedly fun urban fantasy available now from Tor Nightfire: Amazon »  Bookshop »  About Cassandra Khaw Cassandra Khaw is an award-winning game writer and former scriptwriter at Ubisoft Montreal.

Infracción de Derechos AutorSarah Silverman, conocida comediante y escritora, y los autores Richard Kadrey y Christopher Golden, han presentado demandas por infracción de derechos de autor contra Meta Platforms y OpenAI. Argumentan que su contenido protegido fue usado sin permiso para entrenar los modelos de lenguaje de inteligencia artificial de estas compañías. Tanto Meta, con sus modelos de IA llamados LLaMA (Large Language Models with Attention), como OpenAI con su ChatGPT, presuntamente usaron sus obras en los conjuntos de datos de entrenamiento.¿Están las reglas del juego cambiando para los gigantes de la IA?En el centro de esta controversia legal se encuentra la capacidad de los modelos de lenguaje IA para generar texto similar al contenido original protegido por derechos de autor. Sarah Silverman, además de su trabajo en comedia y actuación, ha publicado una autobiografía llamada 'The Bedwetter'. Junto a los autores Kadrey y Golden, sostienen que las compañías usaron sus obras sin autorización, evidenciado por los resúmenes generados por ChatGPT de OpenAI y los modelos LLaMA de Meta.La demanda contra Meta sugiere que los libros de los demandantes estaban accesibles en conjuntos de datos que Meta utilizó para entrenar sus modelos LLaMA, un conjunto de modelos de IA de código abierto que la empresa introdujo en febrero. Para OpenAI, las pruebas se centran en las respuestas de su chatbot, que demuestran conocimiento de las obras protegidas por derechos de autor. Estos casos resaltan los desafíos legales que las empresas de IA podrían enfrentar al utilizar conjuntos de datos para sus desarrollos.Las implicaciones de esta demanda podrían extenderse a toda la industria de la IA. Si los demandantes tienen éxito, podrían desencadenarse regulaciones más estrictas sobre el uso de contenido con derechos de autor en el entrenamiento de modelos de IA, y las empresas podrían verse obligadas a obtener permisos explícitos antes de utilizar dicho contenido.

[Warning] This episode contains explicit language and explicit themes. Listener discretion is advised. Well if zombies weren't enough maybe Hellions are? Richard Kadrey puts his protagonist through a lot, but maybe none so dangerous as a trip back to Hell to stop his mortal enemy from using Hell's soldiers to invade Heaven. Can you do that while juggling all the new relationships he's built on Earth. Danny has a lot to say about the third instalment of this insane urban fantasy novel. He covers the development of the lore, the characters, and Kadrey's style of prose. He looks at the not so good which may or may not include new and old characters. He also takes a closer work at the biggest fault of the novel and why it may be hard for others to see it otherwise. However, not matter what, Danny has a few laughs because this franchise is insane. ~Follow all the Legionaries on Twitter~ Danny: twitter.com/legionsarchive The Tsar: twitter.com/TsarAlexander6 Allen: twitter.com/blkydpease Spangar: twitter.com/LSFspangar ~Credits~ Original Sound Cloud image taken from Richard Kadrey's website at: https://www.richardkadrey.com/aloha-from-hell Original cover art owned by Richard Kadrey, Paula Russell Szfranski, and HarperCollins.

[Warning] This episode contains explicit language and explicit themes. Listener discretion is advised. You would think that after climbing out of Hell that James "Sandman Slim" Stark would want to kick back and relax with a case of beer, but unfortunately for him the City of Angels won't let the die sleep and it's up to him and a zombie killing pornstar to save the day. For the first half of the episode Danny reviews the book by using the P&N style, and discusses why he loves the second book so much more than the first and why he thinks it's a great sequel. In the second half he is joined by Spangar and they debate why each of them had a different opinion on the sequel. But overall it is still a crazy urban fantasy and they share a lot of laughs because it's hard not to when talking about a crazy book. ~Follow all the Legionaries on Twitter~ Danny: twitter.com/legionsarchive The Tsar: twitter.com/TsarAlexander6 Allen: twitter.com/blkydpease Spangar: twitter.com/LSFspangar ~Credits~ Original Soundcloud image prodivided by Kadrey's website at: https://www.richardkadrey.com/kill-the-dead Original cover art owned by Richard Kadrey, Paula Russell Szfranski,and HarperCollins.

THIS WEEK: NY Times Bestselling author Richard Kadrey sits down with HarperAudio producer, Caitlin Garing, to talk about his new book GETAWAY GOD.

Kadrey reads his woman/machine story at the Dark Lords of Cybperpunk event, Lit Crawl 2014.
