The Dark Secret Behind AI’s Rare Book Obsession: Why Priceless Tomes Are Being Shredded in the Name of Progress!
So, a company called Anthropic (which just settled a $1.5B lawsuit with authors and publishers), has found a new workaround.
Pointing to a doctrine in copyright law from 1908 (!!!), Anthropic has begun buying up PRINT books by the millions – old books, rare books, out-of-print books – and are scanning them into their AI engines for their AI model, “Claude.” However, after doing this, each book is destroyed. Gone forever.
Once there are no more physical books left on Earth, the AI companies will “own” the world’s history, and can manipulate the data to say whatever they want. What’s worse, their own leaked internal documents seem to indicate that this could very well be their goal!
