“People are just jealous that they are poorer and weaker and uglier,” she said. “We are beautiful. We’re smart. We’re strong. … We are supporting the billionaires, here.”

Wow. Unsurprising, but... yeah. I'm sure many of us aspire to be as beautiful and strong as Musk, Bezos and Zuck, I sure am! /s

Librarian here, can confirm.

I started my Master's in Library and Information Science in 2010. We were told not to worry about the internet making us obsolete because we would be needed to teach information literacy.

Information literacy turned out to be something people didn't want. They wanted to be told what to think, not taught skills to think for themselves.

It's been the single greatest and most expensive disappointment of my life.
