if i'm giving it the tacit approval to use, and they're not liable, then who is? probably me.

"Will you accept liability for what it says". For real though, if they're trying to say to me 'you agree we aren't liable for what our product does' there is no way i'm leaving it turned on.

I wish 404 media had a version we could subscribe to as a library. They're doing great work. www.404media.co/help-us-inve...

Help Us Investigate Book Bans and Educational Censorship Around America

404 Media has gotten a grant to unearth public records about systematic censorship of books, schools, and libraries in the U.S.

Absolutely the case. It's a mass media phenomenon, just a different mass media from what everyone else likes (which angers them to no end). The titanic chintz of the megachurch is replicated in books, movies, tv, MLMs, camps, etc. The Bible is more a source of authority than a piece of the program.

Jess Calarco @jessicacalarco.com · 20h

Based on the interviews I've done with conservative Evangelical moms, I'd say--a lot of them aren't engaging with the Bible directly. They're reading Evangelical self-help and parenting books like Your Best Life Now and Growing Kids God's Way that selectively interpret the Bible for them.

I maintain that if the profession is going to allow genAI, we have to be okay with torrenting of media too.

The Supreme Judicial Court says Harvard failed to adequately supervise its former morgue manager, Cedric Lodge, who admitted to stealing skin, brains and bones of bodies that had been donated to the medical school for students to learn from.

Got a tip recently about how Trump's tariffs are preventing libraries from sharing books, and causing their loaned books to get stuck or lost in other countries: www.404media.co/libraries-ca...

Libraries Can’t Get Their Loaned Books Back Because of Trump’s Tariffs

Libraries have shared their collections internationally for decades. Trump’s tariffs are throwing that system into chaos and can ‘hinder academic progress.’
