Libby is shoving AI into its service (and allowing AI books!) and I couldn't be more furious.

Libby is supposedly a library app but it doesn't have any of the values of a library (I adore libraries, they are manifestations of a #solarpunk future).

Libby is an enshittified tech corp who bought a library app. "Libby and its parent company, OverDrive, are owned by the private equity firm KKR."

I hate it but I think we really have to start thinking strategically about how corps are buying up anything that controls access to information (including library apps like Libby) and using it to maintain power.

I'm seriously considering pulling my books out of Libby (but not the library).
