AI companies are reportedly buying up antique books in bulk, scanning them for AI training data, then destroying the physical copies.

[Evan Luthra @EvanLuthra]

THIS IS F*CKING DISTURBING!!!🤯

A leaked Anthropic document just came out in court. Their own words:

"Project Panama is our effort to destructively scan all the books in the world."

Next line: "We don't want it to be known that we are working on this."

They planned to shred every book on the planet, in secret. And they almost got away with it.

It starts with theft. Anthropic stole 7 MILLION books from pirate sites to train Claude, because their CEO said paying authors was too much of a "slog."

Then the lawsuits hit and they needed a legal way to keep going. So they hired the ex-head of Google Books and sent him to publishers to ask for permission. Publishers said no.

That's when they found the loophole.

Buy millions of real, physical books. Cut the spines off with a hydraulic blade, scan the loose pages, and throw what's left in recycling.

One vendor offered to destroy 2 MILLION books in 6 months. That's 11,000 books a day.

Now the insane part.. destroying the books is what made it legal.

If you scan a book and keep it, that's a crime. If you scan it and shred it, that's fair use. A judge actually approved this, which means the shredder WAS the legal strategy.

They still paid $1.5 billion for the stolen books, the biggest copyright settlement in history. Works out to $3,000 per book.

And the scans are locked in Anthropic's private library forever. Nobody outside the company will ever see them. The authors got a shredded book and nothing else.

The part I can't stop thinking about is that a book on a shelf lasts 500 years without power, wifi, or a subscription, and the AI it was destroyed for gets thrown away in 18 months.

They killed something permanent to feed something disposable.

Would be amazing irony for it to target our administration since most of them are criminals

[FactPost @factpostnews]

The Trump administration is creating an AI system for "pre-crime policing," hoping to leverage government data on private citizens to predict crimes before they happen.

John Krasinski admits that he was dragged into a pitch-black tent and forced to watch Matt Damon intimately kiss his wife

"They were shooting at the top of 30 Rock this big beautiful scene and Emily said 'come after four'. I thought that's really specific and weird"

"I get up there and this PA yells 'they're rolling' and he throws me into this black tent and I go this close to the screen"

"It's just Matt and my wife kissing very deeply". I thought that's very awkward"

"Matt Damon came up and was just trying to make a joke and instead he goes 'Hey, nice to meet ya, I was just totally tonguing your girl'"

"I looked at him and I went 'Okay man'"

"He just started to melt and he went 'I'm so sorry, that wasn't funny at all'"

"To this day he can't get over the fact that that's the first thing he said to me"

The House of Representatives has passed the FY2027 NDAA (H.R. 8800), which includes the proposal to expand defense cooperation between the United States and Israel — including joint collaboration on military technologies, missile defense, cyber capabilities, data sharing, and research and development.

It now moves to the Senate for a final vote.

I wish comic book video games would stylize their art direction instead of making their models look like real people

Seeing one of gods most majestic and divine creatures, fight so valiantly against the destruction and rampaging of his home should do untold psychic damage to your psyche. We should be radicalized by this.
