The usual suspects

Remenber the “crypto bubble” of a few years ago, when “blockchain technology” was going to be incorporated into practically everything, and everything was going to be different? And most importantly, lots of guys (all guys) made millions in stock valuations. Sam Bankman-Fried got caught as a scammer, but plenty got away with it.

Look at the people now touting LLM-based AI, saying it’s going to be incorporated into everything and everything is going to be different. Mostly the same people. Just a coincidence, I’m sure.



About Me

I’m Pete Harbeson, a writer (among other things) located near Boston, Massachusetts. In addition to writing my own content, I’ve learned to translate for my loquacious and opinionated pup Chocolate Bossypaws. No surprise, she mostly speaks in doggerel. You can find her contributions tagged with Chocolatiana.

Check out my newsletter, Artisanal Scribbles, where I’m grappling with writing, authentic human authorship, integrity, and the craft of beauty in the AI age. You can also find some of my old software projects at GitHub. Nothing very impressive. I mostly wrote tiny utilities in Python and shell scripts. I’m mostly retired from coding nowadays.

I find myself suddenly de-corporatized (their choice, not mine). To help keep the lights on, buy me a coffee!
