<p>Like many authors, all of my books were stolen by Meta. Honestly, book piracy never really bothered me all that much--if someone really wanted to learn Python, why not learn it from me? That's cool. Come by and say "hi" to me at a conference maybe. Having my hard efforts anonymized and regurgitated by some LLM? Not cool. </p><p>I sometimes think about updating my book, but then I see the royalty statement and realize I'd do better working one weekend a month serving fast food. Shrug.</p>
