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

there's zero need to destroy books in order to scan them, when scanners like this have existed for years and can do 2,500 pages/hour

[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.

[Pandora's Paradise @CrowdParadisePC]

I second that expression WTF!

[Shruti @heyshrutimishra]

WTF

AI companies are purchasing large quantities of used and rare books. Scanning their contents to train models. Then turning the originals to pulp.

The sum of human thought, digitized and shredded.

Every book that gets scanned disappears from the physical world permanently. The knowledge survives only as training data inside a system no one can hold, browse, or resell.

What used to sit on a shelf for centuries now exists as weights in a model that might get deprecated next quarter.

☎️ Na de geweldige reactie op de Marble Curriculum gisteren hebben we besloten om het open source te maken 🛰️👇

Alles wat een kind leert op de basisschool. 1.590 concepten. 3.221 verbindingen over 8 vakken, van Wiskunde en Wetenschap tot Informatica en Levensvaardigheden. Geankerd in de Amerikaanse en Britse curricula, standaard voor standaard (NGSS, Common Core, DfE).

Wat je vindt in de repo: elk concept als gestructureerde JSON met de leeftijdsband en het bewijs dat een kind moet tonen om het te beheersen. Elke vereiste link gemarkeerd als hard of zacht, met een geschreven rationale. Het is een echte DAG waarop je leerpaden kunt berekenen. Open licentie, je kunt ermee bouwen wat je maar wilt.

Nu is een uniek moment in de geschiedenis om te bouwen in het onderwijs. Het goed krijgen van AI en kinderonderwijs is waarschijnlijk een van de moeilijkste en belangrijkste problemen om de komende tien jaar op te lossen, en we hebben zoveel mogelijk slimme en creatieve geesten erachter nodig.

We denken dat een gemeenschappelijke solide basis, toegankelijk voor iedereen en waarop gebouwd kan worden, cruciaal is om snel vooruit te gaan. Daarom maken we deze curriculum open source.

Het is niet perfect, maar we weten dat het een robuuste basis is, en we geloven dat het open delen ervan de snelste manier is om vooruitgang te boeken in dit veld. Als je bouwt in het onderwijs, deel dit dan met je omgeving en laat ons in de comments weten of je dit nuttig vindt en of je wilt bijdragen.

We blijven eraan werken en investeren @withmarbleapp. De eer gaat naar @guillaume_boni voor het bouwen hiervan. Ik heb het alleen maar mooi gemaakt.

I’ll soon be leaving Australia for another 10-11 months due to my ban from working here 😅.

It’s ironic, isn’t it? While smoking 🚬, drinking 🍷, fast food 🍔, and pharmaceuticals 💊 are all heavily supported in Australia, speaking about living a healthy life 🍃 and removing toxins from your body is not. At least, not for me. Apparently, a great-grandmother in her 70s is considered too dangerous to speak here 🙃.

They would rather you poison yourself than dare to live naturally 🤦‍♀️.

But Australia’s loss is the world’s gain! 🌍 In 2025, I’ll be traveling to the UAE 🇦🇪, USA 🇺🇸, Brazil 🇧🇷, Thailand 🇹🇭, Malaysia 🇲🇾, India 🇮🇳, England 🇬🇧, Germany 🇩🇪, Wales 🏴, Romania 🇷🇴, France 🇫🇷, Ireland 🇮🇪, Scotland 🏴, and Holland 🇳🇱—countries that welcome and invite me to speak and teach 🙌.

See you around the world! ✈️🌏

@MsLibertyBelle_ @josettecaruso @rawsalerts According to research, it has only happened a handful of times in the past decade. So no, it does NOT happen more often than we think--less than a dozen GLOBALLY in a decade--With as many flights that fly--that's like it never happens.
