First of all, I'd like to apologize to David Gerard for being so annoying lately. Ugh. Venus retrograde and having to hustle for survival (I know most of us are in a similar boat) is challenging my mental health.

Anyway...

More than 25% of the (minimum*) goal has been raised in less than a day!

I would say it's been about 20 hours. Wow.

I'm super grateful to my wonderful backers, and let's keep the momentum going.

Is this you?

1. You really hate Gen AI.
2. You may not be able to risk saying no to your boss when they force you to use it, but would love to help someone who did take that risk (as long as your employer doesn't find out).
3. You can spare about $10 USD for an eBook.

Then you have what it takes to back How I Became The Hacker You Hate (Memoir of an Anti Gen AI Whistleblower).

Please share! 🎉

All four of my previous Kickstarter book campaigns were fulfilled as promised (feel free to verify), and readers tell me they're learning a lot from my books.

I'm in Tribe of Hackers. With a lot of people who turned out to be clankers. Sigh.

Say no to accelerating the destruction of our climate and fresh water.
Say no to having Sam Altman and Elon Musk's torment nexus "think" on your behalf.
Say no to filling software everywhere with digital asbestos.
Say no to replacing humanity. Sam Altman has said he's fine if people die.

The bubble will burst, imminently.
The laws of thermodynamics are coming for those godawful datacentres.
Model collapse is happening.
And starving the humans who create the work this nightmare "tech" so badly needs is a system that's doomed to fail. Fast.

When the nightmare of Gen AI is over, you can show that you were on the right side of history.

In my upcoming memoir, I discuss why I had to quit my professor job because OPIT was going to force me to subject my students to Gen AI.

And I have many other revelations about my firsthand encounters with the AI cultist zombies.
