🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world."

My Take
This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation."

I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate.
"We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline.

This isn’t just about NEET paper leaks. It’s a revolt against feeling generally suppressed in a democracy & the mainstream media’s brainwashing.

As a father of two, I know first hand : suppressing & brainwashing today’s youth will never work.

If you are emotionally attached to your religion, caste or political leaning to the point that truth and justice become secondary considerations, then your education is useless, your exposure is useless. If you can't reason beyond petty sentiments, you are a liability to mankind.

The biggest outcome of this student protest is NOT the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan.

That is not going to happen. Modi's ego can swallow several protests without even burping.

The biggest outcome will be a new generation that sees and remembers him as evil.

They come up with 100s of ways to punish citizens.
And zero ways to punish politicians, bureaucrats and government officials.
Of the people? By the people? For the people?
No. Screw the people.

LMAOOOO So stupid - zero reasons to do this. You don't play the national anthem of the host country; only the finalists.

Real nice North Korean authoritarian vibes here to *force* everyone to listen how they're the self-declared "land of the free"

Nah man this is absolutely gutting to watch now. What a proper goal from Spain though.
