    Aaron Schwartz was harassed by the feds until he took his own life for releasing publicly-funded academic works wrongly locked behind paywalls yet we let venture capital funded slop machines assault the cornerstones of our public knowledge, to the point where they are rendered inaccessible by the general populace.

    When ChatGPT 3.5 dropped, there were lots of people calling for “guardrails” and “comment sense legislation.” They were shouted down and called Luddites. These are the kinds of situations we should have been able to prevent.

    404 has been on fire lately by the way, everyone should consider bookmarking and supporting them

      I’ve been seeing more Anubis lately. It pops up for like 5 seconds.
