Signal president Meredith Whittaker says they had no choice but to use AWS, and that's a problem

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

You can catch a train to France if you want, but back in the 80s there were hopes you'd be able to drive there too. Meet EuroRoute, the unbelievable plan for a road across the Channel via bridges, a tunnel and two artificial islands. www.roads.org.uk/articles/eur...

Guys, Trump said this in November of *2015*.
If you read my Salon piece about The 'F' Word" from that month you will see that many *Republicans* were calling Trump out as a fascist. It's been obvious from the beginning. (And I don't want to hear about guardrails. They were made of jello.)
