So Twiter has long been a Nazi haven and stroker of Elon's ego, but now it also generates child porn if you ask it! So I think the best time to leave Twitter was years ago, and the second best time is now. Here's what I wrote when I left in 2023:

Goodbye, Twitter
Yeah, I’m done. Elon’s just awful.

It’s true, GenAI is gonna change the world. I have no doubts anymore.
“This could look like a user asking how much ibuprofen to take for a headache receiving a promoted ad for Advil in the chatbot’s response. Meanwhile, actual results on correct dosage may be brushed to the side, or buried under a mountain of ad text…”

Huge thanks to the New York Times Book Review for naming the revised Cult of the Dead Cow one of its three nonfiction paperback picks of the week. Here is no-paywall version: www.pilotonline.com/2025/12/17/p... #books #hacking
Paperbacks worth reading or giving, from histories to novels
Good books on Handel’s ‘Messiah,’ hackers, saving seeds in the Siege of Leningrad, an Indian school before Wounded Knee, and more.
