I’m just a scholar standing in front of a library asking it not to replace the catalogue with a google-like everything interface that fails to index actual collection items.

I'm trying to replace a vintage Deagan glockenspiel bar and was just told that a newly-made replacement will sound similar, but that "the original Deagan steel was made using a process that is now illegal to use" — anyone know what that's about??

No. This is nonsense. Generative AI isn't artificial intelligence, it's a theft machine, built on theft, sipping the lifeblood of our planet, vomiting out simulacrum of creativity and talent that is most striking its its uncanny valley hollowness. It is the corporate murder of creativity. A plague.
Do you think AI can be boycotted out of existence? What benefits are there to not using it? There are benefits to being thoughtful to how you are using it, yes. But rejecting it is like...I don't know...rejecting a life saving vaccine. Accept it or die a slow death.

Love to see positive coverage of ABQ
When Albuquerque made their bus system—including their bus rapid transit lines—free, not only did ridership jump it was actually found to be more cost effective.

Cities across the U.S. have been embracing a bold new transit policy: zero fares. The results are promising.

At @drfarls.bsky.social's prodding, thinking about giving this place a closer look and maybe shifting twitter/X activity over here. Relative to X, I want to focus more narrowly on poli sci/theory/philosophy and related academic content+ my interests in urbanism/transit/land-use. Who should I follow?
