The plan is to erase physical knowledge so they can monetize it.
Shruti@heyshrutimishra
WTF AI companies are purchasing large quantities of used and rare books. Scanning their contents to train models. Then turning the originals to pulp. The sum of human thought, digitized and shredded. Every book that gets scanned disappears from the physical world permanently. The knowledge survives only as training data inside a system no one can hold, browse, or resell. What used to sit on a shelf for centuries now exists as weights in a model that might get deprecated next quarter.

They probably want to halt AI development because it has reached its full potential. Recall when Elon Musk proposed pausing AI development before he had built Grok, then when he did, he stopped asking for that?
I am against AI being paused but I don’t believe though that current AI companies should engage in activities like copying books and destroying them, or their chatbots acting as superior beings to humans, especially since they still lack the depth of human judgment.

Pause AI is like Stop Oil reskinned for misaligned “intellectuals” instead of environmentalists.

Enfant, on m'a enseigné qu'un livre ne se jette pas. Et voilà qu’Anthropic en a fait broyer des millions à la cisaille hydraulique, dans le plus grand secret.
L'opération, lancée début 2024 et révélée en janvier par le Washington Post, portait un nom de code: «Project Panama». Des livres d'occasion achetés en vrac, jusqu'à 2 millions en 6 mois; les reliures tranchées à la machine, les pages scannées, dévorées par Claude, le reste au pilon. Un document interne résumait l'état d'esprit d’alors avec une candeur rare: «We don't want it to be known that we are working on this.»
Le broyage, lui, est parfaitement légal, le juge William Alsup ayant estimé en juin 2025 que numériser des livres achetés relevait du fair use; ce sont les 7 millions de titres piratés en parallèle qui viennent de coûter à Anthropic un accord record de 1,5 milliard de dollars avec les auteurs. La cisaille hydraulique est donc, officiellement, la voie propre. Sauf que depuis lundi, des libraires européens décrivent à 404 Media des commandes massives et anonymes passées par des acteurs de l'IA, où passent aussi des éditions tirées à quelques centaines d'exemplaires; une fois massicotées, celles-là ne reviendront nulle part.
Pendant ce temps, nos villes installent des boîtes à livres pour qu'un roman terminé continue sa vie de main en main. Cette délicatesse, visiblement, ne pèse pas lourd face à la soif de connaissance des LLM.
Et puis il s'agit quand même d'Anthropic, l'entreprise qui s'est construite sur la promesse d'une IA plus scrupuleuse que les autres; celle-là même dont j'utilise les outils tous les jours, oui l'ironie ne m'échappe pas. Quand on écrit noir sur blanc qu'on ne veut pas que ça se sache, c’est sans doute qu’on s'était posé la question en amont et qu’on y avait répondu.

I hate that ChatGPT is so overly careful with health questions. It always sends you to a doctor and warns that this could be serious.
With Grok you tell it the symptoms and it will just say:
"Ok, you have a heart attack. You will be dead in about 30 minutes. Anything else?"

"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."
Sickening.
Hedgie@HedgieMarkets
🦔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." My Take This got to me. 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." I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate. "We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline. Hedgie🤗

If you think that scanning books and burning them afterwards is bad, wait to see what they have in store for our brains.

Yes, AI companies are destroying books for training, but make no mistake - they're destroying the internet, too.
Websites need clicks to financially survive & AI seeks to build a walled garden around their stolen goods.
AI is a parasite & it will kill every host it feeds on.

So has Google decided not to bother releasing frontier models anymore or what?
No Pro model since February. They've given up?

I am starting to realise that all the AI engineers I admired are actually just a cackle of greedy men.

@Magikaaa @theserfstv Dude engineers don't care about making weapoms as long as they're paid well

If they're turning engineers into activists they have been doing unfathomable evil behind the scenes

The reason why datacenters consume so much water is to extinguish fires from all the book burnings that go on inside.

Anthropic has to understand that the days of gate-kept $200/month plans are over
kimi k3 dropped its full weight yesterday — the world's first open-weight model in the 2.8T-parameter class
MiniMax is expected to follow almost immediately with its own 2-3T open model
no moat left

They’re trying to make the planet inhospitable + infertile so you have to rely on their tech/systems & be “plugged in” to their control grid with 24/7 surveillance that sucks on your soul (your time/energy) for NO reason other than the fact that they are feasting off your souls.
