🦔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.

So why isn’t he speaking out now that Trump’s CDC just gave another billion dollars to Pfizer for more COVID jabs.

JD Vance told Joe Rogan the COVID vaccine made him sicker than he’s been in 15 years: worse than catching COVID five separate times.

@HavanaWoody @amazing_physics All I thought of is breaking a thermometer at my grandmothers house and her panicking. It’s not often that the rest of us have to go into such depth about these substances.

Actually it's the comments that make that demonstration. OP Rage baited a bunch of people who think they know more than they do. People who have experience easily see the signs it is not mercury. Mercury would be more reflective, would not break tension and wet the skin,or leave a gray residue.
