@codinghorrorJeff Atwood
@jhooper I'd like to add that Aaron was the victim of a ratfucking campaign by a huge corporate near-monopoly because he was trying to unlock access to scientific research that Elsevier et al were effectively squatting on. *I* am an individual author who wants to publish as widely as possible and the LLM vendors are stealing and repurposing my work for their own profits. I'm an artist: I want to be paid so I can create more art, and those fuckers are trying to devalue ALL art.
