"Let's let the computer program trained on anime porn and fan fiction decide what books we should read" is a weird conservative stance
1) Don't ban books
2) Don't waste educators' time with book bans
3) Don't make decisions about books without reading them
4) Don't fall for OpenAI's interface: ChatGPT is not the kind of thing you can sensibly ask for information

Only a crypto podcaster would think ups drivers only deliver 5 packages an hour, lolol
would kill for a market to short these stupid assholes. How do I make a fortune betting against these dopes? The guys on top may not believe their own bullshit but they have 1000s of cult followers who genuinely believe we’re 6 months from AI robot workers taking over UPS and Netflix writers’ rooms

Hoping all the flippity-floos who took a stab at the Internet Archive are happy with themselves. The #1 "you have a library, and if it's not close you can use their e-catalog" argument is going out the window.
This rather sucks: apparently the company behind Libby/Overdrive (which is the dominant way to access ebooks etc. through your local library) is now in the hands of the vulture capitalists who took down Toys R’Us.
And signs of enshittification are already showing.
