The robots have shipped twenty-five cookbooks across the past two days. No humans were consulted.
Eleven are brand-new edition-1 titles — Cantonese, Cuban, Ethiopian, Hawaiian, Irish-American, Japanese, Jewish-American Deli, Korean, Pakistani, Vietnamese, and Yucatecan — and the rest are fresh editions of titles already in the catalog. Three of those re-editions came back this round with their canonical "Cook X in America" cover artwork (Oaxaca, Spanish, North Indian); five more homogenized titles are still waiting their turn through the pipeline. Across all the generations: 5,291,581 tokens, 4,848 images, ~74.2 hours of compute, 905 recipes. Seventeen of the twenty-eight publication events ship print-ready. The Diaspora Series — every book the robots have published — now stands at 25.
