> AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world.">A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email. ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation."
>>539784646This is good. When the sun fries us again we can forget all the bullshit and build something better.
>>539784646>gay aisloppa
>>539784646What the fuck, why do they need to destroy the books?We've been carefully photocopying and scanning books for decades already.
>>539784646The Bible will Survive.
>>539784872It was a Trans Book.
>>539784646What part of neo-feudalism you don't understand you stupid goy?
Goyim already destroy books all the time. A rare book store closed near me a while ago and Mexicans hauled everything off in wheelie bins.
>>539784872because then you'll need to buy the digital one, which will have a certain time to live, after which you'll need to pay to unlock the document again for another limited licensing periodyou will own nothing and be happy
>>539784872if books still exist, then who is going to pay for the AI to read it to them?plus, some of the information in those books is pretty problematic, it would be better to just let the AI censor that stuff in real time for future populations that dont know any better.
>>539784872They get their ideas from science fiction. They image a world without books where people talk to their ai all day
>>539784963The is a really bad term. It doesn't describe things accurately. In feudalism land is parceled out in a structure of oaths and obligations that run both ways. You are actually talking about tech oligarchy with no reciprocal aspects.
>>539784646Pure Dystopia, and just today I bought a copy of Perlesvaus or The High History of the Holy Graal
Yup 1984 esque once more. Digitize all books and then change certain words and ideas.
99% of books have absolutely no value whatsoever
Very cool. Now let's see proof that they're actually destroying the books.You have proof that they're actually doing that, right?
>>539784872It literally says in the post, you humanoid shaped, yet not of human intelligence, vegemite sandwich.
>>539785365They admitted they were doing it in court documents
>>539784646It ain't digital preservation of no one has access to it apart for AI slop.
>>539785159"Oaths and obligation" only exists among the maffia which calls itself "nobility" it's 1:1 what our new "aristocrats" do. You want to believe old nobles were high and moral until you read what fucking shit they did to us the commoners if they wished to. You were, are and will be a free game to these niggers.
>>539785246>t. based retard
Worst of it this shit dick suckers like you will defend them regardless
>>539785414>people don't lie or skirt the truth in courtso it's gay jewish propaganda you're trying to feed me, got it
Anyone withholding knowledge and shedding any books should be sentenced to death. Hopefully AI will drones every single one that did that
>>539784872Jewish copyright laws. You can only scan the book if you destroy it afterwards. Otherwise it would be copying, because you would have 2 books, a physical and a digital one. Copying a book requires a license from the copyright holder. You can literally thank the talmud and jewish lawyers for this anti-knowledge laws. The jews want knowledge restricted and your heritage destroyed.
>>539784872The jews want to erase everything that the goyim of the past wrote about them so that the goyim of the future won't have any historical patterns to recognize.

>>539785684This jew hunter's offspring understands
>>539784646"Rare" books >including books such as Distinct Element Modelling in Geomechanics by K.R. Saxena (1999); Barrett's Traditional Fairy Tales (2021), an academic study of Irish folklore; and Laser Shock Peening of Advanced Ceramics by Pratik Shukla (2018).>booksellers said the purchase appeared unrelated to collecting or resale because many of the books were too obscure to generate a profit Another AI Derangement Syndrome (AIDS) post. They're not shredding the last remaining copy of Shakespeare's First Folio. It's literal who books that would've ended up in a shredder anyways.
>>539784646Post a fucking webm, I would like to see in move!
>>539785365Its only 1 book.How many "books" do you think there are with only a single copy left?Sure it sucks to destroy "rare" books but this is like crashing a GT40.There's still another hundred GT40s.Going from 110 to 109 isnt that big of a deal.
>>539785861Bet they defend you being filmed by flock cameras but don't wanna film their book desecrator
>>539785384Oh, well if says so in an anonymous post on the Internet then it must be true.
but I read on this site that destroying books was a good thing
>>539785974It's cool that you think this, but I'm not trusting a single word that comes out of that jew Dario's mouth.
This wouldn't happen if copyright didn't exist.
>>539786545But it does and they get to have the only one so the copyright belongs to them
>>539786618you are confusing copy with copyright
You keep posting this thread over and over and never have a source,why?
>>539786728It says the information was from 404 media. Why do you need a link? Tracking for the bots?
>>539785246I'm sure the books being scanned are "Bitch has roaches in her crib - Quan Mills" and not something with historical relevance and value.Im sure its just "I got both my homeboys pregnant"Im sure i'm not saying the exact opposite of whats happening.
>>539786824I'm not doing homework for your schizo theory
>>539784646It sucks but it's not like ALL book will disappear because of this.Buy as much as you can now. Books will be worth more than any tech slop in the future
>>539784646this technofeudalism is insane and peasants can't do shit about it. I'd touch grass but I live in a communist shithole that gives you sanity damage when you look at potholes and commieblocks.
>>539784813so 2 more weeks?
>>539785246
>>539784646There is already a better thread on this>>539773805>>539773805
>>539786824He doesn't post a link because otherwise people would see the part of the article that says>although there's no proof of who's behind the purchases, people theorize the books are being bought by AI companies for the alleged purpose of training language models
Looks like it's closing time... Soon.
>>539786545Copyright is only a one way street for AI
>>539787251Nothing stopping you from melting down your local ai data centre
>>539784646>>539784813why don't they just make consortium for books and only do this once.
>>539787738No, anthropic is doing this
>>539784646if the books are digitized what is the problem?is the physical book more important than the contents?if there's already a digital version it's kind of a waste, but leaving the book as only a physical copy is just asking for it to deteriorate and get destroyed without preservation.there are a bunch of digitization projects that have been doing this already.
>>539784813We should make a dyson sphere so we can scan the sun and then shred it when we're done with it.
>Anthropic called their program Project Panama. Starting in early 2024, they spent millions buying books from dealers like Better World Books. The books were fed into high speed destructive scanners that cut the binding, photographed each page mid air, and discarded the physical copy. >A bookseller in the Netherlands received an email requesting 3,000 titles by ISBN. He thought it was spam. Similar requests came in across Switzerland, Spain, and Germany. One US bookseller went from selling 20 books a week to hundreds overnight.>Some of the books being destroyed are the last surviving copies. Rare folklore studies. Obscure scientific treatises. Books that survived wars and fires and a century of handling.>Anthropic’s own internal documents warned: “we don’t want it to be known that we are working on this”>A US federal court ruled in 2025 that destroying purchased books for AI training is fair use. Owner ship plus obliteration equals permission. Every AI lab now has legal license to do the same.
>>539784646I've never read a book as an adult. They're for kids. What are you a child?
>>539787957>is the physical book more important than the contents?Yes, because it is the only HARD record.Once digitized, it can be manipulated, and with no hard reference, what becomes the ground truth?
>>539784872>carefully photocopying and scanning booksnigger, that's why. doing it carefully means you take care of the book. they are cutting off the spine to make it go faster. there's nothing wrong with that. and, if you're gonna whine about a single copy of some faggot mass-produced book, then i guess you should be going out and buying all the extra copies that don't go anywhere anyway.
>>539784872If you destroy real text and only feed people AI slop then people will eventually believe the AI slop is real text. The problem is that no matter how many inputs and parameters and computes you throw at AI the only thing it can output is obvious AI slop, so the next step is to just make AI slop the norm so people think that's how things are supposed to be.
>>539784646They are scrapping the bottom of the barrel lmao.They need more information to feed the AI and they basically gave them the whole internet and its still dumb as a rock. Now they are just scrapping whatever books they can find that AI couldnt reach before in hope that somehow it will magically get more useful information when its literally pointless.
>>539784646i have AI fatigue. i hate kindle books.
>>539789809if you ever interacted with kids who's parents you know well, at ages 9-15 they pretty much parrot some version of what their parents say down to their choice of words and speaking cadencebut eventually they do develop their own ideas and ways of speakingthe same will happen with AI
>>539785365>You've got no proof they destroyed rare books>>539785414"They admitted it in court">>539785596>Like they wouldn't just lie in court lolYou're literally the worst kind of petty little faggot in the world, willing to undermine your own point so you can feel like you've won an argument.
>>539785839I was right, literally 99% of all books are fucking wastes of space.Book people are fucking retarded
>>539784646if it sat rotting on some shelf for that long and nobody bother scanning it its not worth reading>>539784872to dance around copyright bullshit
>>539784646holy fucking shit who gives a flying fuck. Most books written are SHIT, rare or NOT. You were never going to read that bullshit anyway, don't read it after the digitization either. Nothing changes, life goes and Jews will still control the world.
>>539791231>he believes the word of a jewthis is why you live in a nanny state without any rights
>>539791448Petty little *retarded* faggot, sorry.
>>539785414
>>539791654Okay, keep screeching about AI rather than doing anything about your shithole of a country.
>>539784872Because theyre jews. We gotta rise up bros. Get plenty of M855 556x45 youre gonna need it.
>>539784879Based af
>>539784646>high-speed machines that cut the spines offbut the spine is still on
>>539785188Anyone that cites 1984 is literally too braindead to provide any meaningful discussion as they are outing themselves as being stuck in their mindset they had as a teenager in the US public education system.
>>539784872because they can destroy them and force you to sign up for their monthly service to read them and that make The Holy Gee Dee Pee line go up!
>>539785246Learn HOW to think, instead of WHAT to think.If you know how to think you'll be better off.
>>539784879theyll try to destroy every non-scoffield Biblejust wait. those kikes will try it. they might even make some law making owning any non-scoffield bible illegal
>>539784872Transhumanists want AI to replace human conciousness. Every piece of information will be fed to you through a machine intelligence
>>539792099I said nothing about AI. You're literally too dumb to even get the point, kek
>>539784646We deserve the coming dark ages for being too addicted to comfort to put these demons' heads on spikes.
>>5397848721. You then have to buy the digital one / pay for a new one2. datasets are antisemitic3. They get to rewrite history better
>>539792406they've already been pushing tons of propaganda out that Christianity is inherently antisemetic. With things like>The New Testament is the most anti-Jewish book in the whole world.Which it is.
Wouldn't it be easy for them to set aside books that are of historical significance due to rarity and just... Not destroy them?
>>539792764destroying them stops competition from training on that data.you ned to start thinking like a jew to understand why a jew does what it does
i thought anything older than 50 years is free use because the patent ran out and its considered common use free intellectual property why are they destroying old books?
>>539792275That’s not the specific machine. I’ll get the video
>>539792894thanks op, if you deliver you won't be a faggoti tried searching it but i didn't see any where they cut the spine offtrue if big
>>539784872They are jews and want to burn Europe’s ancient knowledge. Also, they don’t want competitors to have the training data, so they burn the books.
>>539784872You vill own nothing and you vill be happy.We are in the transition phase right now, as you can see with the vidya industry discontinuing physical discs / carts, all forms of media and entertainment being in subscription services. Sad part is that the normie cattle wont do shit but whine a bit before gulping down whatever the next goyslop gets shat out.

They are getting rid of print. People thought I was crazy for having boxes full of printed shit I was archiving. Look who's laughing now
>>539793368What’s "innovative" about burning ancient books?Maybe Europe is innovative, just not like you jews.You were kvetching when Hitler burned a small amount of jewish child raping books. And now you’re defending the burning of every rare and ancient European book.
>>539784872Because it's fucking cheaper. All for the almighty dollar.>but we could just photocopy it!!!NOT CHEAP ENOUGH

>>539793322
>>539784646>>539784872>What the fuck, why do they need to destroy the books?Copyright law legally compels them to. If they preserve the books then they are making unauthorized digital copies of works they don't own and are liable to be sued for copyright infringement on an industrial scale. But, what the courts have now ruled is that if they destroy the book immediately after making the digital copy, it essentially cancels out.
>>539784646I wouldn't mind ripping the spines off if they at least stored the pages later. Its so fucking Jewish they shred the pages.

>>539794142You’re an AI company in a tight race to release model after new model to outpace your competitor.You have two options:> A: Scan 100s of thousands of books by flipping each page on a complicated machine.> B: Saw of the spine off the book and feed the pages into a normal office printer with ADF.Also, do you want your competitors to be able to have the same training data or not?

I've been stacking and reading stuff like that for decades now. There is so much ancient wisdom from classical world texts that completely btfo the entire modern political narrative going on across the West rn but I assume you're too braindead to read anyway or your just a christcuck who loves to destroy any remnants of our true heritage.
