@davidgerard There have been short periods of sluggishness and 503 error messages. It's definitely better than before, but it looks like we're still getting hammered. Internet Archive has also been having 503 error messages tonight on their search result page.

@davidgerard It's back already, just a brief outage apparently.

@mothninja Enoch's Hammer returns.

@kenwhite.bsky.social NYT editors apparently miss this exclusive club.

I talked to librarians, authors who have had their books banned, and groups that support them for this article. The glee with which schools, libraries, governments, and companies are replacing human workers and nuance with AI would not be possible w/o the successful war on schools and libraries

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

Am obviously not anywhere near the first person to point this out, but I think it's a pretty useful framework. AI is also a nuts-and-bolts logistical nightmare for a workforce that is constantly being harassed, threatened, and forced to defend their work. They are fixing/fending off AI bullshit

@stevevladeck.bsky.social It is also a good time to swear at the Speaker of the House.

@unixmercenary Thanks, Rick Moen. @davidgerard
