I gotta say it. Only stupid and lazy people use generative AI.

Hey. So. The people that scan rare antique books and destroy them are the bad guys in every dystopian story. Just FYI.

[IROKO @irokointertidal]

yes i will drag artists i like for using ai... some of yall need to grow a backbone and stand up for the things u care about

[niallnochill @ni_alln]

this pisses me off “we need to be prepared for this new normal”…. WHAT??? WHY SHOULD WE??? It’s a handful of people at the top, destroying this planet and we are to just sit by and let it happen??? NAH, bring out the guillotines ASAP

[Karim Wafa-Al Hussaini @DrKarimWafa]

They say books won’t change the world. Tell that to every colonizer who burned them. To every enslaved person who was punished for reading. Literacy is resistance. Literacy is liberation. The library is a battlefield.

[MoundLore @MoundLore]

We may be the first civilization willing to destroy original books in order to teach machines what they contained. That’s a sentence future historians may struggle to explain.

[Shafeeq @Y2SHAF]

The scariest part is once the physical copy is gone, whoever controls the AI controls history. They can rewrite the past and nobody will ever have the receipts to prove them wrong

[Beff (e/acc) @beffjezos]

Anthropic are literally effectively burning books and want to be the exclusive source of truth in the future.

[Nick Kapur @nick_kapur]

Terrifying thread.

Due to a legal ruling which lets AI companies off the hook for copyright infringement as long as they destroy the original book, they're buying up millions of rare books, scanning them as AI training data, and then destroying them.

[Club des Cordeliers @cordeliers]

Once books exist only in digital form, ruling class will find it easy to revise and censor them.

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

We always warn you all, but usually nobody listens or cares.

[jamie @gnuman1979]

Exactly.

What really fucking boils my piss is that we had the opportunity to change the world after Covid. The pandemic produced a fascinating real-world experiment. It demonstrated that human activity can alter emissions and local environmental conditions extraordinarily quickly

Actually, If you had told me 10 years ago that a billionaire would accuse humans of drinking too much water in 2026 because data centres need it to power the Al tech that is now threatening our entire way of life, I would have told you to write a better Bond villain, because wtf?

[bONGO 🌹 @wariocolosseum]

can ppl please for the love of god just take climate change seriously

[Amandinha 🇧🇷🚩 @mandstu25]

As chances de um ser humano ser picado por uma cobra venenosa são de 1 em 70 mil.
As chances de uma mulher ser atacada por um homem são de 1 em 3. E, de alguma forma, o seu medo de cobras é considerado válido.

Mas o medo que as mulheres têm de homem é visto como exagero.

science has always been political. what gets studied. what doesnt. who gets to do the studying. on and on and on.

I DO NOT want self-driving cars.
I DO NOT want humanoid robots.
I DO NOT want Al in every app I use.

I want clean water.
I want a stable climate.
I want a habitable planet.
