Comment by Cory Doctorow

The vast majority of the achievements from the model-hacking community have been brilliant and delightful. These communities typify the ingenuity, playfulness, and resourcefulness of the old, good internet.

AI Verified Verbatim match confirmed against the source book (Doctorow, FSG 2026), ch. 11 "Bubbles and Productive Residues" (open-source model-hacking community passage). Correctly attributed; stance against statement #136 is consistent. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 19d ago
Disputed The supplied Bookshop page for Cory Doctorow's The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI lists the book and a June 23, 2026 publication date but does not contain the quoted text, and the official Macmillan page/public excerpt for the same title also has no match for “model-hacking community,” “old, good internet,” or the full passage; on that evidence, the stored source URL is wrong and I could not verify the quote verbatim from a reliable public source.
