It’s an ominous scene. A warehouse crammed with books set to be sliced open, scanned and then pulped by an AI lab. Australia is fighting back.

This is the kind of dumb shit that only capitalism can promote
Mass destruction of literature has been done many times in history, not only by capitalism. Like communist China, and they really promoted it too. The only difference is that it usually is done out of an idiology or form of control, while now it’s out of greed from companies to train their LLM. True dystopia we live in.
Make no mistake, this is not just greed but a form of control. Once they suck all this stuff into their training, they will control access to it by means of cost or just prompting the LLMs to not go into some topics
Yeah true.
This is almost a word for word plot point in Rainbows End by vernor vinge.
I hate it
Philistines!
These people deserve the same treatment as they’re giving the books.
