I have no need for genAI. It would improve nothing in my life. It wouldn't save me time. I could not trust any text it assembled. It cannot research. It cannot write like I do. It cannot create like I do.
It cannot justify its existence or its expense.
It is not inevitable. It is not unavoidable.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

The United States government is sending people from our country to a concentration camp in El Salvador without due process or hope for release. It’s really important for everyday people to realize that if you truly believe in “never again,” never again is right now.

The enemy is always the aristocracy, no matter how it changes forms or tactics over time. You must learn to hate it as much as it hates you.

"You know that system we already built and that works great that allows people to file their taxes? In the name of efficiency, let's destroy that, so that people have to file on paper or give money to a vendor."
There's no pretending that this is about "efficiency." It's an Intuit subsidy.

This, right now, is probably the most chaotic time to be trying to draft a book. If you have a system figured out to consistently get words written, this thread isn't for you.
If you could use some tips, keep reading.
