I have just been introduced to Sharon Goldman's AI journalism and it's some of the funniest shit I've seen in my life.

She's really out there prompting ChatGPT to write what reads like Kindle Unlimited-tier softcore erotica and getting paid.

Even her "About" page on LinkedIn has two em-dashes and one --, so like, what's going on here? Local journalist can't write five sentences without an LLM? What are we DOING out here?

Hey, I wrote a book.

Did The Science Wars Take Place?

Covers the history and philosophy of a fight in the 80s & 90s between some postmodernists and scientists, with an eye to anarchist interests and lasting political influences among the far-right.

Pre-order here:
