If you haven't learned about her latest book, check it out while you are here!
Over the weekend, I was notified once more, by Bartz-Anthropic settlement, that they have identified additional titles of my books to add to the Bartz-Anthropic claims, bringing the total to 53.
Those are books of mine that were used without my knowledge or consent to inform AI.
There are hundreds and hundreds of writers like me, who's works have been impacted by this egregious action and now that the entities who pirated them lost the lawsuit, they are required to pay back X
amount of money per title to each writer who's works were stolen.
It doesn't make up for what I consider a slaughter of our intellectual properties, but it damn sure will make them sorry.
It boggles the mind how insidious the use of AI has become.
I hope I'm long gone before it takes over the world, because it will unless somebody steps on the brakes.
Those Terminator movies are no longer Sci-Fi.
They're just warnings of what's to come if we continue to ignore.
I'm so fed up with lying politicians, traitors to our country, hackers, and the robo calls from scammers.
May you all rot where you stand.

At the same time, I'll take the time to share what has been happening with me... related to that machine that controls our lives to a lesser or greater extent...
But first, a response to Sharon and others who are facing this major, very profitable for criminals problem... And computer people seem to be among that group... I'm willing to give them a slight break because I've personally been working with computers before most programmers have even been born...
And there are others in the United States like me that know little if anything about the technical side of technology and its...benefits...
KEY TO THIS IS THAT THEY MUST KNOW ACTUAL BUSINESS PRACTICES, SUCH AS ACCOUNTING, WRITING, CREATING ARTISTIC RESULTS DIRECTLY FROM ONE BRAIN AND PLACEd ON SOME FORM OF SHARING SUCH AS A BOOK, A GRAPHIC PICTURE, AND MORE... In my opinion, the creative energy of a human brain cannot be replaced by any level of computer...
I was responsible for all information related to West Virginia University facilities, including how they were used, which department was approved to use them, etc. When I first started, much of this was being done manually, and then, at that time, spreadsheets of data codes were submitted for keypunching staff. Yes, so long ago, some of you may not even know the word keypunch. My point is that a certain, prescribed set of data codes was created to develop and maintain a database of all facilities used by WVU across the State. At that time, we were required to provide all such data to the federal government.
But let's move ahead to today, right now, in the United State. Most of the data gathering has been removed. Indeed, the very first act of this president was to delete the federal government data center... and brought in DOGE... That group set about destroying departments, removing the money, moving it to some place nobody knows, not even Congress. Indeed, recently we learned that a DOGE employee provided the entire social security data file to a group outside of the government... We know purchases have been made such as planes for the former head of homeland security and even when she was fired, it was retained for whatever anybody wanted to do with it... Yes, we all know that billions of our tax dollars are being used for anything and everything that the republican party can think of, including a illegal demolition of the Historically Preserved White House and an ongoing attempt to build a ballroom... Which, by the way, the latest on that is that they are working to actually use tax dollars for that, even though the president claimed no tax dollars would be used... He lies about everything...
So why no complementary videos?
Here's a documentation of one of the worst times in my life (dealing only with the computer crap part, LOL) of it all, for right now...
Here's what happened:
With medical issues taking a lot of my personal time, I had not been able to deal with the routine daily happenings on my computer. Reading and sharing about books is my passion and has been for over 20 years... but it had also become an escape from the reality of what is happening technologically... Specifically, the end result that computers play in my own life--and possibly in many other lives who use a computer for their daily careers, such as our wonderful writers...
I knew Windows was updating. Had already determined that my old computer didn't have the capacity to accept the upgrade! My computer seemed to be working fine so I decided, from a purely financial standpoint not to worry about getting support from Windows... I was wrong...
Or, worse, whoever or whatever had invaded my old computer had been there for some unknown period... Who knows?...
Which leads to a blanket statement for ALL sites on the Internet!
Your staff creates a software program without regard to USERS... A definite no-no from one who managed development of systems from the bottom up... And I'm talking from somebody who knows the extremely detailed activities involved in each individual procedure or process...
Let me give you the most recent example... I will be getting back to my old computer, but today's example is perfect for the issue. I wanted to add a video to this post. I opened up YouTube and instantly I was told I had a "Block Ads" on my computer... I didn't put on a Block Ads at this point on a new computer... The popup showed me a set of possible extensions, none of which I had... I marked other and went to my extensions... There was a malware, Norton, Pinterest and AddtoAny...As far as I, the user, am aware, blocking ads is not part of these activities. I followed the instructions as best I could even though I have not had problems with Pinterest or Add-To before and the Malware is now crossed off... Norton remains... I am left with an extension that does not take you to the Norton site and I cannot follow the procedures... NOW WHAT?! I the user have seen some ads on YouTube that I don't support but I have no idea whether they are a threat... So...in order to create this blog post, I would have to stop, do lots of research to find out how to allow YouTube to be used on my computer...Or
I'd have to pay to use YouTube... Because Norton might discover there is unsafe material on YouTube ads???
Which leads me back to the scary mess I got into last week...
Picture this, because I can't reproduce it...
The sequence of these events might be important...
I had just had a popup from Yahoo which related to using their site. I do have a Yahoo email account, but I had not used it for years, so eliminating that was no big deal, so since I was in the midst of loading Norton, I just closed the popup without any action to continue with the installation I had already paid for...
Popups immediately started flying at me...They were about 3 by 6 in size, one right after the other so fast that you could not even read what was being said... I can't even remember whether I saw one that read do not turn off your computer, or whether it was a voice, I was so rattled... Because I had one response to that warning coming out of nowhere... I turned off my computer as fast as I could!
When I later came back and turned on the computer, I was able to proceed with the installation... but I wanted to do a full scan immediately after what had occurred... So I proceeded but got a list of type of scans that were available and chose one called Startup... (I have this running now on a daily basis and watched this morning to see what actually happened--I'll come back to that soon...
So when I had just proceeded to attempt to do a Startup Scan, it started and I immediately got an error statement that said that the computer could not be started... After several times of manually turning off the computer because it was stuck and would not allow a shutdown... - Now realize that this computer had been fully working up until the time I started to work with Norton...OR had refused to agree with Yahoo... (more on that later as well)
Days went by and I tried as many things as I could think of, except one, which worked... I returned the computer to factory status. I "thought" this meant that it would be back to originally set for use... Instead I got screens so technical that I could not even begin to deal with what I saw...
About that time, I decided that purchasing a new computer with Windows 11 might be the only way to go...Actually, I have no alternative. As far as I am aware, the one computer repair company I had used was out of business and I didn't know who else to call...
In any event I now have a new, Windows 11, hp computer which I'm struggling to use... I was able to find my blog, thankfully, and at least most of my sites I use routinely... Main thing after letting readers know it would be irregular times for right now, I've been trying to find out status of Norton... Some things had carried over, although I have no idea how...but the main program was not showing on my program list. So yesterday was spent working to get that up and running... I was told later, that access to my computer was lost at one point, somebody else came on and expected me to start over... I refused...but then went to a search engine site, opened it and got a download and installed...
Only to find that when the Startup run was made this morning, I started getting a list of corrupted files! Identified as a ZIP file, archived, some of which had the word game...
So, If my understanding is right, there is a archived group of corrupted files on my NEW computer...which is sitting somewhere hidden...BECAUSE THE SCAN WAS COMPLETED AND THE COMPUTER PROCEEDED TO OPEN!!!!!
If I were to hypothesize, I might think that when windows moved to the next generation, they left a lot of crap files that had been identified as corrupted and didn't bother to delete them, but just hid them into a corner and built a wall around them...so new owners are paying for space occupied by corrupted unusable files that are taking up space for absolutely no reason... Just another reason not to trust big corporations...
So this morning when I got stuck trying to enter YouTube or pay, I attempted to find a part of the conversation with Norton technical staff I had yesterday, which referred me to several other sites...The following is what I got when I opened what I assumed would be a copy of the dialogue... Yes, I have kept copies of chat rooms many times...but apparently not with Norton...
In any event, Norton had suggested several things, two of which I actually understood and recognized... I was supposed to go to Google and do this or that...or go to Microsoft and do this or that...
So not it seems that security is to be so controlled that each of the users (you and me) must untangle the messes created by each company who, because of "security" purposes, no longer is willing to coordinate with other companies to ensure that conflicts do not arise...
Duh...
What we have now is a security system on top of a security system, on top of a security system, which is controlled by AI advisors who immediately repeat your entire chat message before they even attempt to try to solve your problem, and after that, they may or may not decided that they can solve, or think they can solve, what I need--which did happen once--before technical staff was pulled in...
On Amazon yesterday, I attempted to get access to my total library, the individual there give me a list of instructions, while I was also typing another question, but she left the chat I was told by the program... I left the window open for about an hour and she never came back...
So, now, we have a series of AI robots who are not trained, but we also have untrained customer service or technical staff who often show they don't care about their customers...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_customer_is_always_right
In 1909, our country was built on the philosophy of placing the customer first--that they are always right...in effect saying that if the customer wasn't satisfied, then the company would make appropriate changes to adjust to that individual's needs...
In 2026, the only people who actually follow this is the "individual" who because of training and basic moral standards, works hard to ensure the individual who is asking for service from their corporation/agency is satisfied... Norton was at least trying...
Now in 2026, everybody either sends a review process form which is never seen again or, worse, could care less about meeting the needs of those who need assistance...
Indeed in my experience, the worst group of corporate agencies is those who use computers as a basis for extortion!
I'm going to give just one example, but could continue through many businesses with whom I've had to interact during the last decade...
In the 1960s, AOL was the first, new social site that even had movies made about them... Remember "You Got Mail!"
I joined at that time and have been using AOL since then. Frankly, I have found their email system to be the best and most useful for handling a small business such as book reviewing (both when I was getting paid and after) I've been reviewing books for about 25 years now and aol has most of that information...
Or did, I haven't checked to see what I lost, if anything, as of now...
The big problem is that, I remembered after Yahoo sent me a popup the day my computer died...
That Yahoo purchased AOL
And since that time, my email has increased approximately 300%
On day 1, they put up a notice that if you wanted to eliminate ads, pay us...
I've kept track of some of these each time I get these fake mail notices...
You see, you can hover the "from" address and see who is sending the email. Most are so clearly fake! The length of that location could run up to 100 letters
I considered this extortion immediately and still do...
I am perhaps the only person who still uses aol from the 60s...
Perhaps they wish to penalize the fact that I've never paid for mail...
But then, I've never paid for GMail, or Windows email or just about any social site that exists these days...
Yet, I'm guessing that some of the popups came from my choosing Norton
You see, I've been getting emails from aol from the time I lost Windows 10 support trying to get me to purchase their software--a software I've never heard of...
And seriously, would YOU buy security software from a company that forces fake mail coming to you daily that has to be routinely deleted, which then returns the next day and the next... No company does that type of mailing! It's fake or scam emails of one sort or another...
Some even show no "from" but have my name Glenda in that column...
They are the ones telling me that My account is running out and will be closed to a company I have no interaction with or some variation of a need for emergency action... How cruel can a company be to allow that type of "mail" to be used for purposes of getting paid for NOT sending it?
In any event... When I ordered Norton, downloaded it, I immediately got the Yahoo request to sign something...I didn't...and immediately popups arrived!
I could be blaming somebody wronging...if so, I will apologize if proven my assumption is wrong...
But in the meantime, this is just one example of how big corporations are looking to our government gathering millions/billions of our dollars and spending them on private plates, drunken Secretaries, a use of violence like never before done against our own citizens, our neighboring countries and even faking wars against other authoritarian countries...
While relatives or friends of a man in charge with complete immunity
is robbing the government blind...
And large corporations are following his lead... Nothing is provided as in the past, or a former law--they are being deleted or changed or people are being fired while planes are having more accidents than ever before with no willingness to recognize that the lost staff HAS to be the reason for many of those events...
When Norton, for their own security, forces me, in order to use their product, to be so locked that I have no easy way to say that I'm willing to use YouTube and risk that "their" security is sufficient for me, then we have, as customers or users, to actually use these SOCIAL SITES they claim is for OUR benefit...
IT IS JUST NOT TRUE...
AND WE KNOW IT...
AND IT IS GETTING WORSE...
AS LONG AS THE RICH WANT TO GET RICHER
AND ALSO WANT TO DENY SOMETHING THAT THEY ONCE GAVE TO CITIZENS...OR EVEN ACROSS THE WORLD ACCESS...
WHILE FORCING THOSE HACKED BECAUSE OF HAVE TO DEAL WITH CONSEQUENCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL...because there is no legal activity now dealing with cyber crime...
WHAT A MESS
WHAT A TIME TO BE LIVING IN A WORLD FULL OF RICH LIARS
WHO CAN'T EVEN TELL A LIE AND HAVE US BELIEVE IT
BECAUSE REALITY OF WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS SO VISIBLE...
EXTORTION
the practice of obtaining something, especially money, through force or threats.
ONE FINAL THOUGHT
WHEN THE COST OF SECURITY FOR USERS IS MORE that needed BECAUSE NOBODY DOES THE JOB OF LEGAL PREVENTION OF HACKING AND MORE, OUR GOVERNMENT IS FAILING US AT EVERY LEVEL
DURING ALL THIS CRAP I LEARNED THAT MY NAME IS ONE THE "DARK WEB"
PROBABLY THAT SOCIAL SECURITY INFO THAT WAS GIVEN BY A DOGE EMPLOYEE TO AN OUTSIDE AGEN CY...
OR BECAUSE I'M OPPOSE TO WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR DEMOCRACY AND ITS LOSS
JUST LIKE ALL THE CRIMINAL ACTIONS NOW BEING ALLOWED BY ONE POLITICAL PARTY, WHILE CALLING THE REST OF US "DEMONS" IS JUST PLAIN WRONG AND EMBARRASSING TO OUR COUNTRY'S HISTORY OF FREEDOM...
IF SOMETHING DOESN'T HAPPEN TO STOP THE CORRUPTION BY GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, WE MIGHT AS WELL PLAN ON LOSING EVERY SINGLE PART OF LIFE AS WE KNOW IT...
COMPANIES ACT AS IF THEY ARE DOING US A FAVOR BY PROVIDING GOODS AND SERVICES. TO A SMALL EXTENT THAT IS TRUE, BUT, LET ME ASK YOU, DO YOU EVER GO INTO A GROCERY STORY AND SEE THE ROWS AND ROWS OF JUST CEREALS AND WONDER WHY THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT OPTIONS, WHICH THEN ARE DESTROYED WHEN NOT SOLD?
IT'S BECAUSE, PERHAPS, YOU HAVE BECOME SPOILED TO WHATEVER LEVEL OF RICHNESS YOU HAVE ACHIEVED.
I REMEMBER BUYING ON SALE IN A PAST, PARTS OF A CHICKEN THAT WERE NOT USUALLY SOLD, AND WE ATE THEM AND MADE HOMEMADE NOODLES AND SOUPS WITH THEM...DELICIOUS!
HAVE YOU BECOME SPOILED AND WILLING TO PUT UP WITH THIS CRAP? WHILE CHILDREN ARE STARVING?
WHO IN HELL WANTS TO SEE A GOLD BALLROOM THAT WILL BE BIGGER THAN THE WHITE HOUSE OF THE PRESIDENT WHICH HAS EXISTED FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS?
Of course I could go on, but the majority of you know what I am talking about...
Please look to what you can see happening and decide to work against those who care nothing about the majority of we who live in the United States...
Because I guarantee that this president is not going to change from what he has been all his life...a man whose father taught him how to grab federal funds and then building a facility in which he would not rent to certain non-white people... If you don't believe me, you haven't done your research... Start with the 3 books by his niece and nephew after their inheritance money for their father was denied...
Don't be a fool.
If you are scared and concerned and frustrated like I am
Start thinking for yourself and REACT TO REALITY!
A legal system was required because we didn't follow a request to Love out Neighbors
Now Those people who love only riches is stealing from Citizens and getting away with it...
None of us are safe when all corporations are bowing to a president OR are just greedy because they care only for themselves...
No matter what reason, it's OUR MONEY
And something better happen very soon...
Please plan to vote and fight for freedom
Gabby
