I'd love to read this article, but it's stuck behind an aggressive paywall and I can't get past it with either archive.org or archive.today.
I understand that newspapers need to find a way to be financially viable.
But it's a real problem that all the AI slop and fascist content on the internet is free, while much of the news that educates people about why AI slop and fascism are bad is paywalled.
Also, the fact that all the shit is free is not a coincidence.

I agree that it's a real problem that the economic model of internet news right now favours AI slop and fascist content. Not sure what the solution is to that.

Also, I'm not sure how these gift links work. Maybe only the first person who clicks on it can read it? If so, then I'll send it to you via DM.
