Never give in to the social pressure exerted on to you by those who are themselves too chickenshit to wear a mask in a grocery store. If they can’t stand up to the disapproval of strangers, they aren’t really in charge of what they’re doing anyway. They’ve given up. You shouldn’t

Anthropic do the right thing.

Stop the guillotining of books now.

I ask any thinking person compare the processing of books below. End to end the non destructive scanning on the right is faster and preserves knowledge for the ages.

My advice to atone is to stock and maintain physical library free and open to anyone.

Do the right thing.

Scientists at frontier AI companies are uniquely positioned to assess AI’s capabilities and warn the public about what they see. 1000+ of them are now speaking out across company lines to warn that the current commercial race leads to unacceptable security risks.

I agree with their call: we need an international effort to develop technical and governance guardrails to ensure a safer trajectory in AI development.

You’ve been the only one masking for years on end and haven’t budged, you have a constitution carved from solid stone. All the simple bastards who folded when everybody else did have ones formed from cookie dough. Don’t let them soft fuckers get to you. You’ve got this.

@kananaskinyeti Thank you!

I can see the images, but I can't fully comprehend what it is like to be there in that inferno.

Our future is coming quicker than we thought it would.

[Steve the Book Guy @SteveTheBookGuy]

Has Anthropic stopped shredding books? Or are they still and now just everyone knows?

[guyfelicella🇨🇦🍁 @guyfelicella]

Does anyone remember when Elon Musk criticized MacKenzie Scott for giving away billions to help vulnerable people?

Now he's calling José André who has fed thousands of people in some of the world's worst disasters an asshole.

No, Elon.
You're the asshole.

[Brad Carson @bradrcarson]

The endangered books mostly aren't classics, but they're the only records. Long-tail items like local histories, indigenous language texts, defunct-field science, self-published memoirs of wars and migrations. When the last copy hits the pulper, that knowledge is just, well, disappeared. 4/6

More on Anthropic destroying millions of books:

"court documents revealed that AI company Anthropic spent millions of dollars physically scanning print books to build Claude, an AI assistant similar to ChatGPT. In the process, the company cut millions of print books from their bindings, scanned them into digital files, and threw away the originals solely for the purpose of training AI—details buried in a copyright ruling on fair use whose broader fair use implications we reported yesterday."

@HedgieMarkets I’ve asked the SpaceXAI team to preserve any rare books in a library and scan them the hard way vs just cutting off the spine and scanning

Ever been the only sober person in the room?

Notice how easy it is to know when anyone else is even only slightly drunk?

But when you’re drinking with them, their drunkenness doesn’t register?
