I never really followed his blog so the thing that I mostly know him for is that during the days of metoo he wrote a post about “well I am an awkward nerd but I hope I haven’t sexually harassed my coworkers, but also I couldn’t possibly say because I’m a nerd and I feel bad for all the nerds that have sexually harassed their coworkers”. Got tweeted at angrily for a few days and half a decade later still holds a grudge about it.

That said Vis A Vis nerds vs everyone else I recommend https://reallifemag.com/what-was-the-nerd/

Feels like the overlap of “people who love ai” and “people who put echos around Blackrock” might make for some really pathetic pissing and moaning.

It’s gonna turn out to be an filipino call center isn’t it.

Don’t sleep on “they have identified neither a problem or a solution” to build a project around even if the technology worked like they want it to.

So a real fucked up layer to this is that part of the reason chatGPT talks the way it does is because it’s been fine-tuned to do so.

And a lot of that fine tuning is done by outsourced African labor. We know about Kenyan and Ghana workers at minimum.
