If it sells, you sell it and make money.

In fact, you sell it in all colors and make more money:

It doesn’t have to be good, it just has to sell.

But then someone democratizes the publishing (Substack).

Someone else then mechanizes the producing (LLMs).

And you no longer sell.

Bummer.

the tone is very different, don't you think?

Slightly, but that was the custom at the time.

		lol, yeah, exactly. knowing that most of them had already been replaced with diverse individuals prompting an inclusive LLM for equitable $2/hr pleases me immeasurably.
