I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time.

Wealthy bro dudes like Shopify CEO benefit way more from public infrastructure than we do. Their delivery trucks, trains, and planes use our public roads, waterways/ports, and airports. To make them bank. But we should get no vote compared to them? Nah bro, you should get no vote for freeloading.

Let me make this clear: if you use AI to advertise your game, I will not play it. If you use AI to advertise your services, I will not use them or hire you. If you use AI in documents/articles to get me to work with you, I will not. If you don't care enough to do it yourself, why should I care?
