Ha! I asked why they're forcing AI on us, and was met with the response: "AI is always a choice. We want to bring AI that brings value to you."

With Clarivate at the helm, I'm worried about the future of Alma. At least libraries are well versed in LMS migrations.

Clarivate speaking on Rialto's future today: we're giving you AI to do your job for you! And we're always listening to YOU, our customers. You all should be so proud of us!

Yeah, you weren't listening. We never asked for this. Stop forcing AI on us. My eyes are tired from rolling them.

Hi, darling mutuals!

I’m sorry for my inactivity, but I have something important to share, as I need community support.

In three months, I will either be getting guardianship of my little sister, who is 14, or she will be going into the foster care system, if not a girls home.

I already got bad vibes when Clarivate acquired ProQuest back in 2021, and this move just affirmed their intentions. Clarivate is breaking down anything that isn't purely revenue-driven. And they're forcing AI on us, citing it as the "future of libraries."

And legacy media wonders why we've lost all trust in them? This is from a NYT "Breaking News" e-mail--someone please tell me why they couldn't have just said "Elon Musk ignites rage and concern over Nazi salute at inauguration rally"?

Someone said we need a whole Mario party and I can't legally say I agree with it, but iykyk

The mainstream media is already normalizing Donald Trump.

I won't, and neither should you.

This is why legacy media is dying.

This turns out to have not been a particularly tricky prediction.

I was a little worried about what kind of account started following me, and then I smiled when I hit the red text. Earned a follow back!

Hopped aboard yesterday! Some friends and I got to stay in our live for a while after the shutdown. Thank you to Tiktok to leave that time for us to say goodbye before being cut off.

I just struggled to stay in the character limit when sharing a post about AI being forced on users. I understand your pain! πŸ˜‚

AI should never be automatically forced on users. Add -ai to Google searches to remove it from results. I also fear what kind of misinformation or mistakes are going to result from AI being used in Microsoft 365. And we're also being charged more for subscription services to fuel it.
