I put hundreds of em-dashes in Fluent Python, which I wrote without any help from AI before LLMs were released (1st edition from 2013 to 2014, 2nd from 2020 to 2021). I like them and will not take them out to satisfy zealots. Though to be frank in recent texts I am using less em-dashes.

ai is all about the erosion of consent for others and the diffusion of accountability and consequences for themselves
Anthony B,I have a fairly strong view that saying "it's not crime if the tools used are AI-shaped" sets some terrible fucking incentives, and that in fact saying "it was software you wrote/deployed, yes you are to blame for the crimes" is very goddam important.

Mandato de senador tem 8 anos, gente. Considerando o que o Alcolumbre tem feito lá, é a pior eleição pra vcs brincarem de ser uma jovem e inocente camponesa dando votinho ideologicamente perfeito. Cada vaga que a gente tirar da direita pode salvar os próximos 60 anos do país.
