I wish more of the world listened to this man. He has written more than 30 books and has worked at the electronic frontier foundation for more than 25 years. This guy is a beacon of Truth. It's too bad the rest of the world is allergic to it.
I'm still a bit disappointed by his "I use LLMs in my writing and those that are going to call me out just don't know what they are talking about" post.
