And destroying? So once they have the data in their control, destroy competing access? Capitalism will be the end of us.
They are destroying it for 2 reasons:
- copyright. They claim that they now have the book contents digitized and therefore are not allowed to redistribute the books (because that would equate to copying in their minds)
- a destructive scanning process is mich easier and cheaper (just chop off the spine of a book and feed page by page through a scanner compared to mechanically turning pages)
Why not gifting them instead
AI sucks yeah but this is a nonproblem. There are warehouses of books that nobody wants. They get thrown away by the truckload daily at most charity shops
Yeah Dipshits, cause that is the key to unlock AGI. It is hidden in the books no one reads.
AGI is a pipedream anyway.
Forsooth! What befowl cretins would so blaspheme the tabletures mathematic of their prediction engines!?
