Hello. I can appreciate your comments about the work necessary to maintain a blog of 'interest' is exhausting ... emotionally draining ... politically dangerous (?). I just subscribed to your blog for a year (I think i's a yearly subscription). If you want to quite, I'm thankful for all you've written. But your constant lamenting about what others say, is out of place. In sports, a team is either always worried about what its adversary can do or it concentrates on what its team can do. It's useless to talk about 'the others'. Make your point and go on from there. "No one above the age of 50 seems to be able to tell that they are AI generated." ... Who in the Hell do you think created internet ? People under 30 ? And if you want to be honest , the idea of 'scraping' is what we all do ! We hear something and we repeat it or analysis it ... That's not the point. How we interpret information that's out there is the point. You seem to be worried about subscriptions. You have no idea, I imagine, who your subscribers are. Consequently, to be polite, fuck them. Either you have a story to tell or you don't. Their opinions are useless. Either you know or you don't know.

Rurik, you're doing the Lord's work and we appreciate it.

Still, you should have gone with "Starkiller" instead of "Skywalker."
