sometimes people ask me how LLMs are affecting wizard zines’ business and I literally have no idea.
I’d say the main thing affecting Wizard Zines right now is that I got really interested in writing open source documentation that is available for free which is part of why there haven’t been any new zines recently
(not looking for advice just sharing what’s up!)
@b0rk I've been thinking about trying my hand at writing and publishing stuff but can't seem to get over the thought that, whatever I publish will be churned into the machine anyway.
Do you have any thoughts on that? It all feels pretty bleak, to be honest.
@cheapdozen it’s tough, I hear that from a lot of people!
I guess with the documentation work I’m doing I don’t really see it as being that valuable in terms of training data and I don’t think about it much
like the point of the tutorial I wrote is that it’s a process that actual people actually tested and gave feedback on, and where we checked that the steps work together
of course people are going to ask an LLM how to use Git or whatever but they can already do that
@b0rk I love that you're doing that. It feels aligned with things that bring you joy, make the world better for others, and that you're good at. ♥️🤘
