I completely agree with author on LLMs. I consider AI as stock inflating noise, like nosql databases (...) were. The nosql ended, after all the hype, as sometimes usable.

I am typically buying ebooks. When I read it and figure out that ebook is rare jewel, I also buy hardcover if available.

Shoshana Zuboff’s, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism is one of those hardcovers.

Recommending reading it.
