My mother was a Librarian. You know, back then when physical books were READ for all kinds of great reasons.
Today, persons seem to mistake A.I. is sort of a “more-smarter-INTELLIGENCE” and many ASSume it’s somehow “better all the way.” I beg to differ with technocratic pushers who ARE striving to become ever-more ‘efficient’ herding censors.
I can just imagine the current scenario, like a mother who tells her young info.-searcher, “Oh no, you can only look in these two aisles. The rest of our collections are off limits to you.”
WTH ! Who are you. ?
This actually has been happening for millenia by intentional, restrictive, HUMAN censoring and/or misdirections. It’s just happening now without eye-contact or in handwritten, graphologically revealing communications. ( anyone seen Trumps signatures? Yikes! )
So, for now, a MAJOR thing to note is the operative word in A.I. is … “ARTIFICIAL.” … soulless, untouchably ARTIFICIAL PROGRAMMING !
Hi Katie, When I find a paywalled article (often in the New York Times, but other publications as well), I take the URL of the article and put it in the search bar of the archive website -- link above in my original comment. Then the article appears! For instance, I just took one of their articles from today and put the URL in the archive website link and, bingo, the article appeared! This is the example: ORIGINAL article is https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/us/project-esther-heritage-foundation-palestine.html. This is how it appears on the archive website after I've cut/pasted URL: https://archive.ph/O2L99
I hope all that makes sense and is helpful. Let me know if you need further explanation.
I am with you here! I am the OTHER AI--anti-imperialist, for decades. I do not use a smart phone, I do not text, I do not trust any crypto currency, nor their CBDC planned for us to use instead of cash or checks. Nature is our mother--indigenous people have it right.

Thanks much, Katherine, for the details. It works! Thanks, too, for this article about the Esther Project.

Don’t be fooled by the CONvenience.
You suggest: "Access the NY Times online via your public library.)" I'd like to add that a way around their paywall is this site: https://archive.ph/
Works for me almost every time. James Corbett had mentioned it in one of his podcasts.
When I tried this tip, I got the NY Times from a month ago. How do I access an article in the current NY Times? THANKS, Katherine!
