The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort:

What is happening at Goddard is absolutely devastating. We are losing history. We are losing an incredible amount of human talent, skill, and knowledge. Rebuilding it will be impossible same for same. Industry can not absorb the people or the equipment. This is undoing space science in the US.
Goddard spacecraft engineer: "I think it just kind of speaks to the atmosphere of the agency and the nation, where people are like, 'Well, laws don't matter for the people at the top anymore.'"
NASA is sinking its flagship science center during the government shutdown — and may be breaking the law in the process, critics say
"There is just a general acknowledgement that a lot of what is happening is illegal…"

Per my “I don’t know why a woman would work for the heritage foundation and then act surprised that leadership denigrates single, unmarried women who aren’t shitting out babies” skeet earlier today.
Some on the far right want to repeal the 19th amendment. Many more share a coercive, patriarchal view of women.
I wrote about this and how the far right sees subjugating women as key to building the sort of electorate they need to win. @liberalcurrents.com

But right now, I'm going to tell you the kind of story so sweet it will make your teeth ache and that isn't usually my beat but it made my day.
I will probably read and comment on the Bad Editorial later because while I'd like to ignore it, it's the kind of bullshit that has often made my working life and that of other women more difficult than it needs to be.
