constantly alternating between anger and sorrow over the ubiquity of LLMs. they replace real peoples' skilled labor with cheap unimaginative imitations, discourage people from developing skills, and spread information like wildfire, all while accelerating climate disaster at the worst possible time

as a trans person seeing the political shift that's happening and a professional archivist/engineer working on web archiving tools, i'm toying with the idea of creating a(n ideally decentralized) archive of online trans + queer resources some thoughts as i muse on this over lunch:
