      Now you get why we were all told to hate AI. It’s a patriot act for copywrite and IP laws. We should be able too. But that isn’t where our discussions were steered was it

        Man, what if we abolished copyright, but also banned gen AI completely. I think that would be the funniest answer.

        It’s copyright, not copywrite—you know, the right to copy. Copywriting is what ad people do. And what does this have to do with the PATRIOT Act?

          if the library doesn’t have a book, they will order it from another library….

              i am guilty of hyperbole… i should’ve qualified my infinitives with “just about” and such….
              i am more sorry about my inaccuracy than anyone has ever felt sorry about anything

            Interlibrary Loan isn’t available everywhere (at least back when I used to work at a library ~10 years ago it wasn’t). If it is, it often has an associated fee (usually at least shipping fees, sometimes an additional service fee). I think the common exception to that is public university libraries.

              are you sure? have you actually tried? or maybe ask a librarian?
              most public libraries are part of a network of libraries… and a lot of their services aren’t immediately obvious….
              also, all libraries have computers and free internet access…
              i’d like to ask what library in particular, but you probably don’t want to dox yourself like that….

                My city library will pull from nearby libraries for a fee (like $2/work I think?), or I can use my card at those same libraries for free (just need to return to the same library), but AFAIK they don’t pull from anything beyond that. We’re a relatively small city (like 30-40k people), so maybe things are different downtown.

                University libraries, however, will pull from pretty much everywhere, and they have access to a ton of online academic resources.

      That’s because the elites don’t want you to think for yourself, and instead are designing tools that will tell you what to think.
