“why wouldn’t the internet archive be using the latest php” probably the same reason my sonos speakers are like a decade old, they get the job done and would expensive and laborious to update and i am not a billion dollar company

“why not just take the site down to make updates instead of using ai” there was no official patch for old versions because even the the latest version fix took a long time. the company that broke the disclosure embargo even said “It really did take them months to build a real, working patch for it.”

if the internet archive went down for months, that would be catastrophic for them as a non-profit and honestly i believe our online society

this isn’t making a yard sale flyer, writing a sci fi book, or putting bikinis on people, this is working as fast as possible with the legal tools available to race bad actors against the clock to protect people

instead of telling people who are pissed about ai being used to mitigate these vulnerabilities that they ‘just don’t understand’, help them understand. i just displayed how easy it is to explain what’s going on. you can even just repeat what i said if you want. if they scold you, mute and move on
