@womble @despicable_me @davidgerard that narrative is additionally simultaneously a paean to slop and a dissembling bothsidesing, it's astounding how terrible it is

@jonny this is the thing that drives us insane(r) about slop discourse! like, everyone insists that it's powerful and tells us that it's Actually Good Now, and then what they SHOW us is brittle dogshit code, a bunch of money spent on failure, and the one time it coincidentally managed to maybe sort of accomplish something resembling the task, all talked about in this breathless hyperventilating glee, and it just breaks our brain

@internetarchive instead of doing this shit, can you make it so that we can actually use the wayback machine instead of the 429-too-many-requests machine?
