To train artificial intelligence models, millions of physical books are being digitised and destroyed. Our colleagues at France 2 investigate this controversial…

Crazy thing is that the books are selected by AI. It's AI feeding knowledge to AI. We are doomed
Congratulations, you've covered a months old story 🙄
I noticed many years ago that if I wanted to learn something or become informed on a particular topic, books from the middle of the last century or so were much more useful in that regard than say books like the "For Dummies" series. I also found that the latter, less helpful books, were replacing the older ones in libraries. We have been losing this battle for quite a while now in my experience.
We need to do something
Why doesn't this come under copyright infringement? They're using the scanned text and images for commercial purposes.
Everything in this world is wrong, at some point this has to end and a new beginning has to begin.
Wooow, this form of extremist capitalism is destroying the world. They create problems so that they become a solution. Doing it with disease (covid) and getting away with it set a very dangerous precedent.
I believe they keep digital copies. The content is what is to be preserved, the paper it is printed on doesn't matter. Most people didn't even know that those books existed. How does an obscure book in some corner of the world help anyone? At least, as part of the knowledge base of some AI agent, that material may help someone.
and now all history will be on a digital format making it easier to distort the truth about all history, they will then easily be able to alter the content of all books using AI, talk about a gaslighting sociopath
can they atleast rebind the books and not destroy it!!
"Project Panama" the effort to destructively scan(aka copy, and destroy) all the books in the world. I assume by ALL they would include super rare books that are historical artifacts or only have a few existing copies. <br>How do we get mass destruction of books criminalized? <br>How do we get a complete dataset of all book from this project made public> Seeing as its all books form the whole world, that makes it important for every person. No one person, or compony should have have the sum of human knowledge locked away from the rest of humanity.
We need new laws.
this been happening for years, just today they got to know😮
I dont have a lot of money but I have started to buy all the old books that I can get my hands on, so we can preserve these books
People, don't sell your books!
Thanks AI, just let me check that....oh, I can't.
It's so Bizarre that they can develop this insane, complicated piece of software but cannot scan a book without ripping it apart.
Nationalize this knowledge. Amazon does not own it. Copying, reproduction and commercial use is an infringement of rights and breach of terms.
Think about this, there are archives like Google Books and the Internet Archive and Way Back Machine that preserve this history for all of humanity<br><br>Scanning does not have to destroy the books, nor remove them from the public<br><br>But corporations seeking to remove rare and valuable knowledge (training material) from the market, this represents direct harm to potential competitors, making it more difficult for them to attain the same knowledge.<br><br>Knowledge the corporation did not author, discover, or research.
Ai just makes up stories. If you know a subject really well, test it out..
