the Internet Archive is in peril

AI is causing a chain reaction that is putting an important and invaluable resource at risk: The Internet Archive. In this video I wanted to discuss the threat to the contiuned work of the Archive to preserve journalism going forward and also the importance of digital and personal archives and archivists. I love the Internet Archive and in case you can't tell I really hate AI. https://archive.org/ https://www.wired.com/story/the-internets-most-powerful-archiving-tool-is-in-mortal-peril/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/anishasircar/2026/04/14/why-major-news-sites-are-blocking-the-internet-archives-wayback-machine/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujHUMG0Uovs&t=4s https://www.npr.org/2023/03/24/1165711510/nintendo-wiiu-3ds-eshops-closing-digital-archives https://www.404media.co/study-finds-a-third-of-new-websites-are-ai-generated/ https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/13/thousands-of-rare-concert-recordings-are-landing-on-the-internet-archive-listen-now/ https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/oct/04/giant-cookies-and-911-the-woman-who-recorded-the-news-24-hours-a-day https://recorderfilm.com/ https://archive.org/details/@aadam_jacobs_collection my Tiktok pages if you want them: https://www.tiktok.com/@swellentertainment https://www.tiktok.com/@girlypopgoxo Motorsport and Car hobby channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GirlyPopGo Check out Swell Entertainment on Spotify! https://open.spotify.com/show/3PorxWFMsiRCPxudjXl8kz My links!
