"The years we have gone through have killed something in us. That something is the confidence man had in himself, which always led him to believe he could elicit human reactions from another man if he spoke to him in the language of humanity." -A. Camus, The Year of the Plague

🦔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🤗

@axcilla 🦔Once the physical original is gone, there's nothing left to check the digital copy against. That's what makes destroying primary sources different from scraping a website.

@HedgieMarkets The physical copies are artifacts that need to be preserved, not destroyed. We are becoming increasingly stupid, careless and thoughtless, everywhere you look.

@BrianRoemmele 🦔Thanks Brian. You were early on this! The court documents even gave it a name, Project Panama, tens of millions spent, and a planning doc that flat out said the goal was to destructively scan every book in the world. Unreal.

Thank you for writing this. It is something I have tried to alert folks about, quite repeatedly for the last decade. We have lost 100s of one of a kind manuscripts and books from these folks and Anthropic is the worse offender. They have spent millions going around the world draining private and public libraries of books. We are the Amnesia Generation and this is The Great Forgetting.

@omgsidewalks And the care given is not care anymore it’s simply muddling through. The carers want to do so much more but can’t. It’s sickening

I can’t wrap my head around an economy where nursing homes cost enough to bankrupt families, yet the aides caring for our grandparents still rely on food banks. Or where daycare can consume an entire parent’s paycheck, while the people providing that care still can’t earn a living wage and need a second job. Something about that math just doesn’t add up.

@KremlinRussia_E LONG LIVE Alexi Navalny who had the balls courage to face this small old man but this small old man had him in prison and killed Alexey Navalny in the most cowardice fashion. Ordinary citizen of the West wants to know why is he willing to sacrifice all these people of the 21st-century for themes and fights from the 20th? Ordinary citizen of the West wants to know is it easy to sleep at night knowing that over 1 million people are dead for a fraudulent claim to Denazification of Ukraine? Ordinary citizen of the west would like for him to know that it wouldn't matter if Kaliningrad and Belarus joined NATO we never would have attacked or invade. Ordinary citizen of the wet would like to know if the lure of Russia understand what projection means in terms of psychology? Because this ordinary citizen of the west would make the claim that every time you say the leaders of the west are going to do _______ it's really what you plan to do. Ordinary citizen of the West would like to make the prediction that either while you're alive or right after you're not #china will annex all of Siberia and your name will fall below the Romanoffs in the hearts of what's left of the Russian people. Ordinary citizen of the west is curious to know if the leader of Russia ever heard of the term demographics? Ordinary citizen of the West wants to know if the leader of Russia ever heard of the WWE? The wrestlers walk around with champion belts but these outcomes are decided before the event. This is extremely ordinary citizen of the west would like to say that Russian elections and WWE champions are the same thing and a term I guess you could use to describe that thing would be called fake. Ordinary citizen of the West wants to know how does it feel to get #warmaxxed by an actor/Dancer by the name of of Vladimir Zelenskyy. @ZelenskyyUa has more courage and testicular fortitude than Putin ever had. Putin is a fox he is a snake there's nothing he's gonna do to your face he pretends that he's a rat in the corner in #SaintPetersburg but really he's just a parachuted KGB pussy whereas Zelenskyy is a wartime leader Zelenskyy rallied his people to fight invader. There is no way on earth President Putin that the history books will write anything positive about you and I know that's going to bother you and it's great. You had to kill Alex Navalny who is 1000 times more of a leader than you ever are and ever will be you had the poison that man and he still came back and faced you and you couldn't face him because you knew you would lose. GLORY TO @Ukraine We know that you all are going to make this a wider war no matter how you all try to say it and flip it we the west did not start this war. We the West did not start the killing. And we in the west will not start the killing but I promise you we will finish it we will know what we are fighting for. Because you may have thought you defeated the spirit in the west at the most you all just caused family squabble. Now if you had 20 more years to continue on this plan it could work but you know that you have to do it soon and there's still too many legacy Americans here and we will know we are fighting for and we we'll fight to win which we will do.
