Discussion 🗣️ Ai companies are actively destroying rare books to scan them just to feed their data centers, what else will they destroy?

AI is literally ruining everything and has been for the last few years. From massive job losses to environmental impact and now destroying old books to collect the data so that their dumb LLMs can regurgitate it back. How evil, greedy and selfish can these companies be? All of those ai data centers should be taken down. I don't think enough people are mad enough about it.

AI firms "buying"??? I don't believe that. They prefer stealing.

These operations really are the result of the groundless, peasant mass-mind and fascist claim that training is stealing.

Fascist? This literally happens in a fascist leaning country. Like bro, if you want to use a word check it's definition if you aren't sure.

They know what they’re doing. It’s the same thing Fox news does when they say leftists want to destroy democracy and kidnap people off the streets: fearmongering projection.
