NEW RULE: if you are going to *thank ChatGPT* in the acknowledgements of your book, then you have to put the acknowledgments at the beginning rather than the end.

writing this book, serving as a creative muse when coming up with things like chapter subheadings, metaphors, and analogies, and for refining my understanding of technical topics that are likely to be well represented in its corpus. t is not a reliable fact-checker, which is why I needed Andy and the Penguin Press team.

This isnā€™t a judgement on Las Vegas itself or Nevadans at all But moving to Las Vegas in your 40s is a cry for help.
