Damn that’s a lot of waiting. There was another device that just MRI’d books where they were, but no, ‘AI’ companies need to rip books apart to scan them. FU.
No less frustrating but I believe destruction is a required part of the process so the AI companies can say they still only have one “copy” of the book.
It’s worse. They want to train their models on data their competitors cannot access. So they buy rare books, scan them in, and destroy the source material.

Oh like they care.
No, it’s far more crass: destroying the book makes scanning easier and faster.

Yah, exclusive content, or just rats watching the ship go down while burning books. FU AI bros playing the largest scam in history…
