The author concludes near the end:
> That said, I have no judgment to pass on you here.
And follows with this as the very next sentence:
> We are all human beings, we all make poor choices and mistakes in our lives.
Which seems to be clearly judging the students for their "poor choices and mistakes".
I feel the author is out of touch with the students and the times; If so many of them are leveraging AI perhaps the better move is to find ways to align that usage with learning. He quotes:
> "it is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer"
But if there is such a scenario in a classroom rather than a courtroom, then perhaps the methodologies should be revisited?
It feels like the author is the ACKCHYUALLY meme, striving to prove themselves technically right, rather than empathizing with the students, which I feel shows a lack of maturity for an educator more than 2 decades older than his students.
I understand that education and evaluation is difficult in this AI era, but I can't come to agree with the author's actions or conclusions in this case.
They cite readers being interested in learning - well what's the best way to do so nowadays? Ask ChatGPT.
Even worse, you can ask ChatGPT to describe the learnings of any reasonably popular nonfiction book directly. No it's not a perfect substitute, nor will the learnings be as memorable, but it's reasonably good enough. That's why I haven't bought a nonfiction book in a long time.
To elucidate for this particular example, before AI agents existed, projects with this level of data and depth might've needed to be monetized in order to justify the resources to bring it to life.
Now that the barrier is much lower, the creator didn't mind spinning up and providing it with no monetization (e.g. no ads).
This is a strawman.
The original point was "the economics ... have changed"
I read this as, it's much easier to spin up a project of this scale even non-monetized, and more people are able and willing to do so.

How do I align myself with such a job?
You're not contributing $4 to help them host.
You're contributing $4 because you liked their ideas and are contributing to fund more.
The author writes:
> Look, I also think that creatives should get compensation in the same way as everyone else, but that doesnt mean that every instance of creativity should be a venue for profit. I think it's shameful that programmers get such higher compensation compared to artists, but this is not the place to equalize it.
Then proceeds to offer no mechanism of such compensation for blog writers.
Many people put in a not insignificant amount of time into their writing, and if it was worth our time to read, maybe we should consider showing our appreciation in a material way.
I've heard this one before
(Maybe it'll be the first time that a temporary workaround stays around longer than expected then)
Citation needed?
We build sales tax compliance software so companies can focus on their product instead of taxes. We’re one of the fastest-growing players in the space, taking share from incumbents like Avalara.
We’re a small, high-ownership team. My team in particular is applying AI (agents + workflows) to automate and dramatically reduce operational overhead.
What you’ll do:
- Build product + AI infra across the stack
- Work on AI-driven systems (agents, orchestration, internal tooling)
- Ship quickly with real user impact, both internally and externally
If interested, can send resume directly to jerry@numeralhq.com and I'll fast track!
