I noticed a few days ago when looking into americans leaving loaded firearms in ovens that we are losing archived news. I would find an article or story that is just missing now, all it is is a headline link to no where. And I have seen this trend on all things, we are losing the knowledge and for no other reason then the possibility of an extra dollar at some point. Take this and mix in the overwhelming amount of LLM generated bullshit pretending to be information tailored to peoples perceived interests (if you live in a religious area for example you see more religious bullshit) and we have almost inescapable silos.
I don’t think I need to explain how dangerous this is.
As someone that has been on my local library board… I got bad news for you on that one. Libraries are culling books like never before, facing licensing issues like never before, and funding issues like never before.

Remember to support your local library. Only physically written words are going to be safe in the coming age.
