One key word to take this away from; "Halted," which means, the Age Verification junk is very much alive and there's a possibility they'll be trying this again

Not only is this a betrayal to core campaign promises, heβs using neoliberal rhetoric to paint libraries as βcostsβ rather than capacity.

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a museum display of a megalodon jaw fossil, with some museum goers standing around it. There is a graphic on the information tablet next to the fossil, depicting the approximation of the megalodonβs full size compared to a human. Panel 2: β3.6 million years ago:β we see the true megalodon as it existed, a small shark with ludicrously large, juicy lips.

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question).
an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question:
"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.
it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.
it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. βyou simply must visit the monsterβi always just ask the monster.β
there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesnβt mean it has no price
for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."
