Well said, I also hope this is a good thing that wipes a lot of AI slop off the web. But I also see friends destroyed by it and many websites shut down. Any "out there" ideas on where discovery shifts? i.e., I built something cool

Ya, I'm already seeing a bunch disappear. I am curious what it looks like when you need a good product review in two or three years. Is YouTube the only trustworthy source by real people? For most products, the web is just going to be

What is your favorite satire? My current favorite is Dungeon Crawler Carl (aliens end the world and thrust one man and his ex-girlfriend's cat into a survival scenario). Everyone I recommended it to loved it :)

Nice! I am playing with it now :) I run Shepherd.com and love seeing book projects! We need more of them for authors and readers. I wish book databases were more accessible. I'll send you an email to say hi as well!

Then it becomes more imp to show people the right path. I've never found a society where money justifies everything, only people who have no ethics.
