What's the difference between your argument here and "Slavery is OK because I didn't kidnap the slaves; I just inherited them from my dad." ??

Yesterday Cory Doctorow argued that refusal to use LLMs was mere "neoliberal purity culture". -
Has anyone noticed that Google Books searches no longer work?Has anyone noticed that Google Books searches no longer work? No matching books even for topics such as "Cicero", "Shakespeare", "Florus of Lyons" or "Bible." Might this be the end of Google Books?
If you have saved a link in your notes, they still seem to work.
It's always a good time to download the entire PDF of books you need, but right now is an especially good time.

Forget Spotify, do you know about relisten.net?Forget Spotify, do you know about relisten.net? It's a portal to concerts by bands that have released them freely, most if not all on Archive.org. A lot of Jam bands but also Charlie Hunter, Camper Van Beethoven, Drive By Truckers, many others.
May I suggest Drive by Truckers, Nov. 30 2002? End of one of their earliest long tours. It's kicking my ass. If you like Southern rock. Or realistic semi-literary hard rock.

Yes!Yes! The biggest, gayest dance party ever. Look happy at all times. Dance to loud music, blow bubbles, serve beverages in NO ICE cups. Fascists have no answer to joy.

Medievalists and Carolingians!Medievalists and Carolingians! Does anyone know the process for accessing the notes in Bernhard Bischoff's Nachlass? (Or have a copy that they can share with me?)
I'm looking for his notes on BL Harley MS 2735. The MGH has apparently published a 2-DVD set of his "Handschriftenarchiv" (and earlier a microfiche set, which is the only thing available in the US apparently. Is it the same?)
But the MGH page on Bischoff ominously adds the DVDs are "largely without the material covering the ninth century," which is of course what I need.
Thanks!!

If you still have an account on academia.edu, you should probably delete it@JubalBarca
Two egregious things about Academia.edu:1) their new TOS are "irrevocable" and "transferable", and explicitly include the use of your name, likeness, photo and voice "for any purpose."
They could literally make you the new spokesperson for neo-nazis, or chicken mcnuggets, under those terms.
2) someone here says that Academia.edu has already sent out emails purporting to be from them, urging folks to join academia.edu or whatever. One went to a leading figure in the person's field.
