It's been interesting to see how some really lazy former colleagues of yours got caught and sanctioned. (I also touched on it in my weekly of July 7-13)

I've for a while tracked The Volokh Conspiracy (hosted by Reason) because they seemed to comment on the friction and follow it closely, i.e. the last post about it was 9 days ago.

I don't always have time to read all that though - it's very verbose.

I often like to remind myself to take the perspective that some good things actually having a tendency to stick around, even against the odds. Gives a much less doomer outlook that way. Interesting that WaPo almost killed it with their dumbass paywalling ¹ - I didn't know that.

What attracted you to it?

I believe that these types of guides are essential for raising awareness, and for understanding that the question is no longer "Should we use AI?" but rather "How can we use it effectively?".
