A Special Place in Hell

While I never met him in person, a fellow Libsyn employee was killed by a drunk driver on 12/4/22. He was a wife and three young daughters. If you're new, I was married to an alcoholic, and hearing about drunk drivers is somewhat triggering. Throw on top a parent leaving the earth way too soon, and now you really are hitting me on all levels. But wait, there is more. It turns out there are people who are using AI (artificial intelligence) to scrape the internet for obituaries so they can "write" an article about the person and cram the website full of ads. One person even did it in a video (with the monetization turned on and the comments - naturally - turned off). In the same way, you can get the air knocked out of you; I have lost some of my faith in humanity. I can't even explain my thoughts. It's not often that Dave Jackson is speechless. If you'd like to help out his wife and kids, it will make you feel better Here is the GO FUND ME page.
