Dear nnvc,

I also think this is a good idea. Thanks for sharing.

Yesterday, I was at Pegasus Books in Berkeley and this book caught my eye:
Auditing AI (2026)
https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262051729/auditing-ai/

It didn't strike me as particularly good, nor well-written, but I did see
the attempt to inform people that maybe we ought to consider what we are
building. I, thankfully, have kept away from edit the .md files that you
speak. I see what other people make and it often makes me cringe.

I could / can definitely what you say happening: I find myself constantly
having to retract sparse typos in my dialogues with Gemini for simple
prompts – I can only imagine how that scales for "agentic" workflows.


At Pegasus, I also ran across a zine politely named "AI MUST DIE" and it
was slightly-better written and had a clear position,

It had this fantastic image in the back page:

I'm always down for bets on the next Friendster / MySpace – it's our
collective inheritance, after all.


Peace,  Louis
