Really surprised to see the limitation on neurological disease to dementia and Parkinson's. No multiple sclerosis??

Car crash vibes captures it exactly. So amazing.

Can you send a gift link again? I can't seem to open it. Thanks!

I don't have an answer for you (in the same place) but am tagging this for the answers.
@annakornbluh.bsky.social created this site with ideas which I plan to scour this week.

Omg, I remember that cartoon! But yes, you have to stop somewhere - I know it's time when I start to use more research into nitty gritty details as a form of procrastination to avoid writing.

Okay, I made it through season 1 (entertaining despite the we must all talk like it's the "olden times") and a bit of season 2, but got tired of the god awful writing. Except I am a HUGE Carrie Coon fan. And the costumes/sets are great. Maybe I should just embrace its terribleness?

The best part of research! Going down the rabbit holes until you can go no further.

Asked about PDFs because the one book I needed to cite from did not actually have a PDF. Grrrr!

Yup, I convinced them to disable the AI on the platform. Yeah! They are going to contact the vendor and ask/complain about the lack of footnotes in the text (and no page #s). But I just discovered there is AI in the ProQuest dissertation database now as well.

I have definitely asked for unlimited use in an ebook textbook before. And I asked them to purchase the book in question in print.

I am getting ready to rally the troops! This was a book I have used previously online with my library that had page numbers and footnotes (perhaps it was the older platform that allowed this) So now on the AI slop platform without a facsimile PDF it's like losing access to the book.

Such great advice and info. Thank you!

Two years ago I asked my library to buy print copies of anything published by UNC Press (one I rely on a lot). I need to check and see if they have continued to buy print only.

Thanks for the useful advice! I complained but now that I know the background in terms of how this came about I can make a much more reasoned pitch as to why it's REALLY bad. I will also contact the vendor. And thanks for suggesting that the librarians might not have had much say in the decision.

Wait what, JSTOR has added this? GAH! AI is being forced down our throats. As one poster said, it's the "enshitification" of research/knowledge. I did paper course readers 2 decades ago. You have inspired me to consider going back. I just fear the price for students would be a problem.
