How ironic that Amazon, the company that was founded on the idea of selling books online, is now buying mass amounts of books to destroy them

Hi, former AI data engineer here. Karen Hao is correct when she calls them empires of ai--just like the colonial empires, it's not just about saving money. It's also about destroying evidence and making sure that competitors don't get that data.

There has to be an alien race or demons running the show because at this point it’s the only explanation for this

If you digitize books and destroy original’s you can edit them and there’s nothing to compare the digital to and that becomes the “truth” and or just the only option available and they can get $ for it

Archive.org has scanned books for over a decade and they preserve the books. This is capitalism ruining precious books to maximize profits.

It’s time to hoard physical media. Buy books and records from your local shops, 2 birds one stone.

there's a very large class action lawsuit that is happening. creators and writers vs these big Ai tech companies. maybe there has been some movement in that.

Damn. I used to sell my old college textbooks back to Amazon in college 10 years ago. They used to buy books. I bet this had been going on longer than we thought. 😅 ESP bc Amazon has been a book store from the start. I think this rabbit hole could be deep. Great find 😎

sounds to me they understand they made a mistake in allowing old books to be in the public domain for people to understand real history, and now they're desperately trying to correct that mistake
