@Em0nM4stodonEm Ages ago a colleague posted something on linked in that was AI generated and he was talking about how great it was. So I read it and pointed out a bunch of obvious mistakes and gaps. Rather than engage with that, he generated some AI bullshit response to me and posted that. I stopped engaging.

If I wanted ChatGPT’s opinion on something I can type the question myself. I do not need an educated person to set aside all their education, type into the chat bot and copy/paste its response. I could do that my damn self if that’s what I wanted. I don’t need a typing assistant.

I offer Cassandra's Complete Class Theorem¹.

All "good use cases for AI" break down into one of four categories:

I. Bad use case.
II. Good use case, but not something AI can do.
III. Good use case, but it's already been done without AI.
IV. Not AI in the LLMs and GANs sense, but in the sense of machine learning, statistical inference, or other similarly valid things AI boosters use to shield from critique.

Personal Note, January 1, 2026: I have a new job: Executive Director of the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Here's what I wrote for PG's January Newsletter.

Greetings from the new Executive Director

Happy Public Domain Day! You might hear people say that books published in 1930 have "fallen" into the US Public Domain, or, that they have lost copyright "protection". This is not quite correct. Rather, books published in 1930 have been FREED of copyright restrictions. They have ASCENDED into the public domain and into the embrace of organizations like Project Gutenberg. They now belong to ALL of us, and we need to take care of them for future generations.

On October 21, Project Gutenberg lost its longtime leader, Greg Newby, to pancreatic cancer. I had agreed to step up as Acting Executive Director so that Project Gutenberg could continue the mission that had become Greg's life work: to serve and preserve public domain books so that all of us can use and enjoy them without restrictions. Although I've been doing development work for Project Gutenberg for the past 8 years, I did not really understand what Greg's job entailed, or how many tasks he had been juggling. Three months in, I'm still discovering mysterious-to-me aspects of the organization. I've also been amazed at the dedication and talent of the many volunteers behind Project Gutenberg and our sister organization, Distributed Proofreaders. And at the large number of donors who make the organization financially viable and sustainable. So as of 2026, with your support, I'm continuing as Executive Director.

In the past three months Project Gutenberg has proven to be resilient; we took a heavy blow and managed to keep going. My top priority going forward is to make Project Gutenberg even more sustainable as well as resilient. In other words, my job is be one runner in a relay race: take the baton and make sure I get it to the next runner. That's what we all have to do with public domain books, too. We want them to still be there in 50 years! Whether you're already a volunteer or booster, an avid reader, or just someone curious about what we do, I hope you'll help us pass that baton.

the first thing you need to accept in an open world is that people will say and do different things. if you operate under the assumption that everyone shares the same understanding you will quickly have problems. but rather than trying to get everyone to say and do the same things, you should instead be able to establish *equivalences*. you don't all say the same thing, but you recognize that the same thing might be said in different ways, and you have to translate the meaning across contexts.
