I want you to spread the word that Tim O'Reilly of O'Reilly Media is forcing his editors to "use" Gen AI as much as possible. The book I wrote for them, Hacker Culture: A to Z, is probably the last non-tech manual they ever published that isn't tainted by Gen AI.

I quit my goddamn fucking professor position at OPIT because I would rather risk my ability to pay my rent than subject my students to Gen AI "e proctoring."

Please check out https://stopgenai.com, I beg of you.

@kimcrawley@zeroes.ca Tim O'Reilly loves being on the wrong side of technology trends: The Meme Hustler: Tim O’Reilly’s crazy talk https://thebaffler.com/salvos/the-meme-hustler (from 2013. long, but worth it if you want O'Reilly hatefuel).

@kimcrawley@zeroes.ca Ugh I know. Before I read that essay I only knew O'Reilly as the guy who published the tech books with animals on them. It changed my view of him considerably.
