Hi friends. I enjoyed this piece below and thought it would resonate with
many here on the NewtonTalk list.

It talks about the impact AI is having on open source and hobbyist
communities. Similar in spirit, I thought, to the comments Eckhart so
eloquently shared the other day.

And a disclaimer, by sharing this in no way do I mean to disparage any
quality dev work being done with AI tools. I have used it in my own work,
and try to be thoughtful and discerning with how I use it and more
importantly when and how I share that with other humans.

Anyway, here's the piece:
