Dan GillmorThere is no one I admire more than Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic ), an extraordinary author, activist, and person. In his 6th anniversary post at his Pluralistic blog, he gives you a sense of the hard work that goes into his work.

I love Cory. Was surprised to read his take on using LLMs, not surprised that I found myself nodding along.

jimgroom@dangillmor @pluralistic What an amazing blog story. If anyone highlights the beauty and the value of blogging now it's that guy, and so damn prolific. Avanti!
Johanna, CanCon varietyHow has it been only 6 years???!!?
I feel like Cory spontaneously appeared when hypertext did, somehow.
Cory Doctorow@johannab @dangillmor Well, I did write a group-blog for 19 years before that!
Oh, I know. I, umm, not be stalker-girlie or anything, but after last year's FediForums I was putting together a blather I did at Fedicon, and I was trying to figure out how long ago I first encountered your online presence ... and I can't. Then when you included a clip of a very long ago CBC interview in the "Who Broke the Internet?" series I figured out we're weeks apart in age and probably the same in "internet age".
@johannab @dangillmor aww thanks
@pluralistic @dangillmor my brain cells from back then are pretty dusty but it feels like I may have heard that CBC chat on "why businesses should get on the internet". I was a couple years into running listservs, babysitting a small usenet node at UoGuelph and setting up my-first-web-pages for non-profits or clubs.
