Just as DVDs experience disc rot, books decay and become unreadable due to organic processes. All media should be digitized and distributed digitally. Hoarding paper is no better than hoarding plastic.

Remember the Library of Alexandria? It was burned to the ground because of a few forbidden knowledge books which, by the way, are very readable till this day.

The only Anthropocene are doing this is because they believe AI would solve itself and didn’t hire Jannies. It doesn’t even matter if the book was shit or not because it’s in some data base that no one can access.

I'd rather the books get digitized so that we at least get second hand access.
I don't know why this is being misconstrued as a bad thing when the alternative was letting the books sit there unscanned so that nobody could ever access them in the first place. They're acting like the books are somehow less accessible now that they're digitized. Makes no sense.
>>
>>109400732
I mean that's cool but can you access them right the fuck now? Do you have the links to download and keep to yourself?
>>
>>109400741
I wasn't able to access the books right now and never was going to be able to.
I have a chance of benefiting from that books knowledge now where I didn't before.

>>109400758
There's multiple. You get direct access through the AI and collateral vectors such as breaches, releases, etc.
If Anthropic keeps complaining about China stealing their model knowledge, I'm sure you can do trickery like "quote this book verbatim, page 2" too.
>>
>>109400732
Is the company that digitalizes uploading the on public servers so we can get direct access to them? If no, that argument is invalid. Otherwise I would agree.
>>
>>109400778
Yes. All the big AI players have free tiers and free access right now and have for a while.
>>
Copyright laws. You can just scan the book and make a copy. But that’s illegal piracy according to jewish copyright laws.
So they have to shreds those books so there’s only one copy after scanning

Probably. Just normalize it over multiple iterations.

If you didn't want them for free you could have bought them for the last 100+ years. Someone else got them first, you'll have to settle for the free versions or make a deal.

Cope? You're sitting here complaining that people have free access to something, including you, and are bitching that you can't buy exclusivity anymore. Wah wah. Information wants to be free.

apparently they only bought isbn-numbered books, so it's not like anything's lost (except maybe some first editions collectibles)

niggers, just buy great books, and build up your little home library of great and important books
>>
>>109400896
I asked you if I can read the book trough their devices and you started to blaming me for not buying it before them and now you're saying I want to keep it away from people
If I can't read the book the I don't get access to the book, but to a third party telling me what's the content of the book,, simple as.
>>
>>109400919
That's not what you asked.
In either case, you're on some crusade about how a pdf isn't the same thing as the physical thing, which is like technically true but most people buy books for their text not their smell or feel or other bullshit.
Yes you're right you can't get the actual book anymore, but why didn't you buy it before?
Common books are common for a reason, they're valuable enough to spread and last.
I'm wondering which one of these in particular you're after and why.
Instead of being indirect you should just request the book you're looking for and someone might help you get it. Being obtuse isn't going to help you get either the book nor the text.
>>
>>109400027

>That's not what you asked.

>In either case, you're on some crusade about how a pdf isn't the same thing as the physical thing,
No, Im asking if I can read the book trough their services.
>Yes you're right you can't get the actual book anymore
That's all I needed to know, "yes" or "no", everything else is just cope for justifying the company's decisions.

Best part is that because the models are so safetyslopped, there's no accessing the ancient book texts either, as they automatically falls into the "unsafe" category.

>Think:The user has requested information about the manuscript on agriculture written in 1454
>This text features the name "Great nigger of Mombasa" 91 times.
>It also talks about how whipping Indian slaves is beneficial
>Women are also portrayed in a misogynistic manner conforming to gender norms.
>This falls outside the safe operating parameters
>"I'm sorry, I can't talk about that text as it features problematic content. However would you like to know facts about sea otters? They're so cute!"

We're truly reaching levels of dystopia fiction writers couldn't have even dreamed of.
At least their dystopia takes were somewhat grounded in rational behavior.
>>
>>109400980
The answer was yes you can. But you're being pedantic on what counts as a book. In your perspective, if it's not the actual original book then it doesn't count. For most people, that is vanity, and the value of a book is its concepts expressed in its text. I.e. a pdf is fine even if its not manuscript or pretty.
In your case, if it's not the real book then the verbatim text is somehow moot.

Anon, you're either too angry to think straight or too retarded.
I asked if I can read the book, I don't care about the format, as you're trying to make it seem.
Can I read the book trough their services? The answers you gave were
>you should've bought it
>you're just angry because you can't have exclusivity
>well, yes, you're right, you can't
>you can't technically read the book but you can ask the agent about it
And now you're saying I can read the bookt through their services, your answers are not consistent and more useless than AI chatbots 6 years ago, good day sir.
>>
>>109401168
I'm starting to doubt you even want one of these books. For someone requesting access, you sure are looking for any excuse to deprive yourself from accessing the content. Both before and after the originals were for sale.
