Bay Area: Join us 8/8 to discuss writing a novel with machine learning

Robin Sloan writes about machine learning, but he's writing with it, too. His 2017 novel Sourdough has been hailed as one of the best and most accurate novels about machine learning ever published. In the wake of that book, Robin also built a little bot that will help you write science fiction by autocompleting your sentences with phrases taken from a massive corpus of sci-fi stories. At the next Ars Technica Live, we'll be talking to Robin about the reality and fantasy of machine learning, as well as what it means to write in the age of bots. There will be plenty of time for audience questions, too.
