Bad AI supplanting human expertise is an issue that transcends any one field, but man—not many people on earth whose knowledge and dedication deserves respect like LIBRARIANS.
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:

No one should engage in any discourse about whether women should work. Any such utterances should be laughed out of the room. That debate is over. Full stop. No further discussion is necessary. What remains are dominative fantasies & I do not consent. The end.

Excellent piece speaking on tonight’s elections and then some. Well worth the read.
![a margin of about 2 to 1, making it hard for Trump to maintain the vote was illegitimate.
And in New York City, voters elected Zohran Mamdani mayor.
Tonight, legal scholar John Pfaff wrote: “Every race. It’s basically been every race. Governors. Mayors. Long-held [Republican] dog-catchers. School boards. Water boards. Flipped a dungeon master in a rural Iowa D&D club. State senators. State reps. A janitor in Duluth. State justices. Three [Republican] Uber drivers. Just everything.”
Trump posted on social media: “‘TRUMP WASN’T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT,’ according to Pollsters.”
But in fact, today voters resoundingly rejected Trump and Trumpism, and tomorrow, politics will be a whole different game.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mu4freou3latjvzjnbm2ev5y/bafkreiftqahs43txazbifqlov2h32f6io7n7iu7bwyz3wjvvchf3qjfl6i@jpeg)

I have actually not seen Mamdani give a formal speech and what I’ll say is that unlike so many of his peers he is not trying to mimic anyone in his delivery. He is simply being himself and it is very effective.
I’ve been interested in political speeches for as long as I can remember. I’ve listened to nearly every inaugural and major address, and I’ve given tons of public speeches myself.
Zohran’s talent in this arena ranks among the best. He’s damn good. Hella good. Remarkably good.
Crazy to watch.
