Simon isn’t a spammer.

He’s a talented developer who is selling nothing and wrote a post on his personal blog about a newly released LLM and mentioned that he used his own tooling to call the API.

He isn’t selling anything in this post (go ahead and show me where in the post I can buy something. A clearly delineated “sponsored by” sentence exists outside of the post, but does not in any way fit the definition of spam). Look into his reputation and blog history, it’s just him talking about what he is passionate about.

I’m only defending Simon because truly independent, non commercial work like his blog is incredibly rare and should be encouraged and not shit on by drive by commenters who can’t be bothered to distinguish between spam and actual content.

If you want to complain about spammers, find some spam first.
