Where in India? I've never seen this in the South.

Pune, Mumbai, NCR, Jaipur. These are the places where I have searched for a library and found study rooms instead. Normal Libraries still exist but they are not doing well in Tier 1 cities.

Sheesh. You can always find books in a library in Chennai. In fact there are lending libraries where they only lend.

I visited Chennai Book Fair 2 years ago. Man they have a big reading culture. I loved it. We middies and northies are still stuck with cow politics lol.

Chennai also has a huge political book culture with a ton of Periyarists, Ambedkarites and Marxists.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
