Amazon has been caught buying and destroying rare books in bulk to train its AI models – after investigative journalists planted a tracking device in one of the books.

The retail giant is the latest company to be exposed for the practice after 404 Media convinced a bookseller to hide an AirTag among a large batch of books that Amazon had ordered anonymously.

The delivery was tracked to VGT3, an Amazon AI training facility in Las Vegas where books have their spines lopped off so the pages can be scanned – and are then thrown away.

The door of the warehouse has a sign with a logo featuring a dinosaur that appears ready to devour a book.

AI firms are buying up older books because they are guaranteed to be authored by humans – there is no risk they contain AI-generated content that might corrupt training models.

Anthropic, the company behind Claude AI, has spent tens of millions of dollars acquiring millions of books to feed its demand for human-authored training material, the Washington Post reported earlier this year.

Amazon workers are reportedly required to scan barcodes or ISBNs before scanning books, suggesting they are methodically working their way through all the world’s printed output.

At one stage, staff were concerned that the warehouse might be shuttered if the flow of printed material ran dry, but the facility remains functional, Ars Technica reported.

Amazon said in a statement: “Amazon purchases books through commercial channels to help develop and improve the products and services our customers use.”

“The highest form of peace is having no desire to be seen, validated or understood by anyone.”

- Epictetus

Epictetus (c. 50–135 CE) was a Greek Stoic philosopher born into slavery in the Roman Empire. After gaining his freedom, he became one of Stoicism’s most influential teachers, arguing that true freedom comes from mastering your own mind rather than controlling your circumstances.

Although Epictetus wrote nothing himself, his teachings were recorded by his student Arrian in the Discourses and Enchiridion. He taught that we should focus on what lies within our control—our thoughts, choices, and character—and meet everything else with acceptance and resilience. His ideas influenced generations of thinkers, from Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius to modern psychology, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy.

“That child had a genetic issue. It was not being starved by Israel.”

— @VanJones68 with perhaps his most disgusting remark yet.

The baby had a genetic issue AND was being starved by Israel AND the starvation exacerbated the condition. Absolutely sickening from somebody who used to know better.

"Potatoes ‘boil’ in the ground as record heatwave sweeps across swathes of Asia"

This is frightening. I knew Africa had been impacted by the recent heatwaves, but I didn't realise Asia too. It makes you wonder, with these projected food shortages, where impacted countries will be buying their food from. It's a genuine climate emergency. We could see global food hyperinflation.

EXCLUSIVE: Jason Arday was targeted in a coordinated campaign by an anti-black race science network with ties to Cambridge and pro-Trump billionaire Peter Thiel, whipping up a catalogue of systemic misinformation across the British press 🧵/1 https://t.co/FNbu43nrEF

[Spirit Of Attlee @SpiritOfAttlee]

They needed a scalp. Not standards. A scalp.

@BylineTimes just mapped the machine that broke Jason Arday. A tip from inside Cambridge to Nathan Cofnas the race realist who openly says Black people would vanish from elite jobs under “meritocracy”. Before he even looked at the thesis he called Arday a random Black person and a DEI fraud. Then the language turned to retarded. Mentally disabled.

Behind him sits Aporia, the public face of a rebranded Pioneer Fund eugenics outfit. Peter Thiel’s money. Channelled into Cambridge through James Orr. The same James Orr now running Reform’s policy shop and hosting the billionaire’s lectures. Two hundred and forty nine articles followed. The Telegraph on repeat. Starkey grinning about Christian vengeance. A working class Black autistic man from the estates who clawed into Cambridge as its youngest Black professor reduced to proof that hierarchy is natural.

Plagiarism overlaps exist. Fine. Hold people to account. But the selectivity, the glee, the funding trail and the political pipeline are the real story. Oligarch race science capturing the institutions that should challenge power, then feeding it straight into Reform.

Arday’s family called it public cruelty. They were right. Demand the inquiry into Thiel’s fingers in our universities and parties. The gates stay locked only if we let them. We won’t.

In 2024, Wayne Brown, the UK’s first Black fire chief of the West Midlands Fire Service, took his own life after months of harassment and questions over his qualifications.

His partner said that when national news outlets ran stories about him, "He just couldn’t take it anymore" and that it was the "final straw."

[Kafka’s Sudoku Board @LibtardSimp]

I never said every allegation was false. Liverpool John Moores University had already investigated the plagiarism claim and found that Arday had not plagiarised his thesis.

The campaign was later revived by Cofnas, who called it retaliation and an opportunity to begin a “revolution” against Black people in academia. What followed was disproportionate coverage of claims about Arday’s personal life that bore little relation to any legitimate public interest. He became a political football in the British media’s wider campaign against diversity policies.

Your claim that “anti racism is the reason he got there” demonstrates the racial logic at play here. If a woman were accused of plagiarism, the media’s default explanation would not be that she had only been hired because she was a woman. Yet this situation was used to portray Black people’s presence in academia as a product of diversity policies rather than talent or hard work.

It is not about attributing everything to racism. It is about recognising racism even when that requires confronting people on our own side, rather than only when it can be used against the right.

A degree in England now costs over £9,500 a year in tuition alone 🇬🇧

In Germany it's free.
In France it's a couple of hundred euros a year.
In Norway it's free.
In Scotland it's free, if you're Scottish.

Three years of much the same lectures, and only here do you walk out owing more than most graduates earn in a year.

We're the outlier in Europe and we discuss it like it's the natural order of things.
