The academic equivalent of "you can judge someone by how they act with the server" is "you can judge someone by how they act with students whose success isn't tied to them/doesn't reflect on them" or maybe just "you can judge someone by how they act with students"

It’s the result of massive bot activity, downloading data at a scale which our infrastructure has found challenging. We have been finding this across all our metadata resources in recent months.

You should also just read the article on disability dongles. The framework it lays out could be valuable for pushing back against a wide array of proposed "AI" use cases.

This didn't happen. The perception that it did is largely based on fictional shows that were about rich people. Much more common was a household where one person (theoretically Dad in a het household) was the higher earner and paid the housing costs and the other paid utilities & food

“It is imperative that we recognize, even if belatedly, those few black pioneers of the decades before the initiatives of Hoyt and Waters—the likes of Leon Edward Wright; Charles B. Copher; G. Murray Branch; and Joseph A. Johnson. We must inscribe them and a few others into our full organizational consciousness and memory. These few are no longer with us; they have yet to be fully claimed and recognized. They struggled mightily to figure out how to speak to the challenges and pressures of the different worlds they intersected as black male intellectuals on the peripheries of the field.” 
—Vincent L. Wimbush
