If you're as #bibliophile like me, old #books are a treasure But if you're a gluttonous entity that has no concern for anything but strip mining human existence to monetize it and sell it back to us in a manipulated articificial form; to make us dependent, not physically like most #capitalist schemes, but cognitively, socially...

AI Companies Are Buying Antique Books, Ingesting Their Contents to Train Models, and Then Destroying Them at Incredible Scale, Even If Almost No Copies Remain

AI companies are quietly obtaining rare books, ingesting their contents, and then destroying them -- even if they're exceedingly rare.

I have just realised that I finished book number 33 on the train from Norwich, but didn’t make a post here to show what my next book of the year would be, this was due to an overhead power line failure in the Colchester area #Goodreads #Readingchallenge #CurrentlyReading #Bibliophile #Booklovers #Bookworm #AlreadyFinished #AMessageFromUkraine #VolodymyrZelensky

Nineteen books into the year so far and it’s time for one of those books that you have to read because people that read books tell you that you have to read this book! My next download onto my Kindle (other ebook readers are available) is going to be Crime and Punishment #CurrentlyReading #Goodreads #ReadingChallenge #Bibliophile #Booklovers #Bookworm #Kindle #KindleFire #CrimeAndPunishment #FyodorDostoevsky #1001BooksYouMustReadBeforeYouDie
