First of all, I'd like to apologize to David Gerard for being so annoying lately. Ugh. Venus retrograde and having to hustle for survival (I know most of us are in a similar boat) is challenging my mental health.

Anyway...

More than 25% of the (minimum*) goal has been raised in less than a day!

I would say it's been about 20 hours. Wow.

I'm super grateful to my wonderful backers, and let's keep the momentum going.

Is this you?

1. You really hate Gen AI.
2. You may not be able to risk saying no to your boss when they force you to use it, but would love to help someone who did take that risk (as long as your employer doesn't find out).
3. You can spare about $10 USD for an eBook.

Then you have what it takes to back How I Became The Hacker You Hate (Memoir of an Anti Gen AI Whistleblower).

Please share! 🎉

All four of my previous Kickstarter book campaigns were fulfilled as promised (feel free to verify), and readers tell me they're learning a lot from my books.

I'm in Tribe of Hackers. With a lot of people who turned out to be clankers. Sigh.

Say no to accelerating the destruction of our climate and fresh water. Say no to having Sam Altman and Elon Musk's torment nexus "think" on your behalf. Say no to filling software everywhere with digital asbestos. Say no to replacing humanity. Sam Altman has said he's fine if people die.

The bubble will burst, imminently. The laws of thermodynamics are coming for those godawful datacentres. Model collapse is happening. And starving the humans who create the work this nightmare "tech" so badly needs is a system that's doomed to fail. Fast.

When the nightmare of Gen AI is over, you can show that you were on the right side of history.

In my upcoming memoir, I discuss why I had to quit my professor job because OPIT was going to force me to subject my students to Gen AI.

And I have many other revelations about my firsthand encounters with the AI cultist zombies.

Many people in tech hate Gen AI, but they keep their mouths shut.

The job market is 1930s Great Depression-style bleak... I understand.

I became a professor.

Then my college decided to force us to subject our students to Gen AI.

But I spoke out.

I lost my livelihood.

I'm now persona non grata to most of the tech industry.

Because I took a stand against spreading an airborne virus, that's proven to be brain damaging.

Because I took a stand against the lying, Earth fresh water destroying, technofascist slop bot, that's filling software everywhere with digital asbestos that people will be spending decades to remove. Like an unpatched Y2K bug times 100.

Because as you may have read in my last book, Recovering After Gen AI, the nightmare of Gen AI will end soon because of model collapse (that's why they're destroying old printed books), the laws of thermodynamics being against AI datacentres (electricity and cooling), the ridiculous financial bubble that's getting close to pop, and because they're vampires who killed (stopped paying for) their source of blood (creative work from human brains).

I have a stellar Kickstarter reputation.

All four of my Kickstarter funded self published book campaigns were fulfilled, three out of four were on time!

Check it out!

Thank you, ZZT. I'm sorry that I'm so frustrated today. It just seems like absolutely everything is going wrong. AI slop code/digital asbestos is a likely factor.

So...

My campaign is about to launch.

I wouldn't be doing this if I still had a livelihood.

I lost my livelihood due to my refusal to subject my students to Gen AI.

I hate "e-begging." But I'm forced to. I'm months behind in rent.

So please...

The campaign prelaunch page will let you sign up to be notified of when I do launch. My campaign has already been approved, and every book Kickstarter I've done, I've kept my promises and fulfilled as promised.

This is my anti-Gen AI whistleblower memoir.

Please share the link on your social media, especially outside of the Fediverse.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
