I wanted to tell you (somewhat) privately that I've been thinking about this post for a couple of days now. It's interesting to me that you said something that seems obvious in retrospect but that I had never thought about explicitly. We need to ring-fence places for humans now and actually practice gatekeeping against *machines*.

Thanks as always for your posts, it amazes me you can talk so expansively about so many things. Even when I disagree with you—surprisingly rare, given I'm a plain-old-conservative and you seem to be some flavor of anarchist—I'm still glad I read it.
