Urghewwwww

Yeah they're That Kind Of Tech Bro Which is probably why they got themselves into hot water with the book lending situation during covid

Oh no

So when the Internet Archive said it wouldn't be used as a backdoor for ai scrapers, that was a lie. blog.archive.org/2026/02/18/w...

I feel like I'm going insane, but it's not me, it's everyone else. A huge portion of the world just decided that this is okay now?

No. It was one of the last bastions of good.

As an own goal that's almost funny. They've been acting weirdly diplomatic about AI for some time, even while AI-hugging corps were blocking them over BS scraping concerns. They're holding countless articles on what LLMs actually do, but wanted to run an """experiment""" themselves? Please.

What next, we find out they're chugging down Anthropic money like Wikimedia? 😣

AI in French is IA so seems rather fitting

I am going to fucking explode. Nobody wants or needs AI. We did just fine without it for decades. We especially don't need a "climate AI" to tell us about how climate change is coming to kill us all; scientists did that already.

Does this mean the Internet Archive is bad, or
