reviewed On Bullshit by Harry G. Frankfurt

A Brief, Accessible Philosophical Romp

Philosophical works are rarely so accessible, and Frankfurt's entertaining prose makes this thorough examination of the concept of bullshit extremely enjoyable. This is more of a long book chapter than a book, and given its relevance to LLMs there's no excuse not to read this important work. Highly recommend
