This is the moment they insert themselves between humanity and nature...between us and God.

When we can no longer grow our own food ...
When water itself is metered, tracked, and rationed ...
There is no going back.

After seeing a post on it yesterday, I’ve looked more deeply into Anthropic’s purchasing and destruction of millions of used books.

They spent tens of millions of dollars acquiring and destroying books to train their AI model, Claude.

They knew, from the beginning that it would be unpopular. They knew what they were doing, was wrong.

An internal memo from 2024 stated:

“Project Panama is our effort to destructively scan all the books in the world.”

“We don’t want it to be known that we are working on this.”

Why used books?

Companies like Anthropic and Meta found it impractical to gain permission from authors and publishers to use their work.

So instead, they stole their work to train their product through mass purchases of used books and through pirating them from the internet.

The authors of these works, didn’t receive a dime for their efforts. These companies stole the hard won literary talent of others to train machines to replace the victims of their theft.

Anthropic cofounder Ben Mann personally downloaded countless books for this purpose from LibGen, a book pirating website.

When a new book piracy website debuted in 2022, Mann sent an email sharing the link with his employees stating: “just in time!!!”

Meta employees were wary about the piracy of books, with one engineer writing, “Torrenting from a corporate laptop doesn’t feel right.”

Anthropic purchased millions of books, in batches of tens of thousands from Better World Books and U.K.-based World of Books.

They then used a “hydraulic powered cutting machine” to slice off the spines of these books before scanning them. Finally, the remains of these books were picked up for recycling.

Feel free to use AI, it’s a free country.

But remember that, if you use Claude, that Anthropic has committed a great wrong, and they knew that they were doing it from the beginning.

Below is an image, from a court case, of a warehouse full of used books, that instead of being held and read by you and your children, have been destroyed forever.

AI is inevitable, but spend your money on the companies who do good, and do not knowingly commit evils.

May the most moral company win.

This is a big big story.

This is what happens when Democrats run everything for 50 years. Open borders, cartels, fetanyl free samples in the park. California is a cautionary tale..and half the country still wants to copy it. We don’t have to live like this but you all keep voting for it.

Mother Miriam expressed recently that she has changed her stance on the SSPX based on the need to obey Leo XIV since to do otherwise is to be Protestant.

I took up her position with Dr. Ed Mazza who showed that Church history, councils, theologians, and papal writings have consistently taught that a pope cannot officially teach heresy through the Church's magisterium. Accepting the idea of a pope promulgating doctrinal error while remaining pope creates a theological contradiction.

@upnorthlive Their facebook page is correct!!!! Truth only hurts the brainless.

Men like this are incapable of contributing anything good to our civilisation.

Every day, as we are forced to pass them in the street, we can only hope they do the least amount of damage possible.

Often, that isn't the case.

They all have to go back.

They aren't intelligent, virtuous people whose potential has been limited by misfortune or poverty.

Their home countries are squalid because their beliefs and behaviours produce those conditions.

It's their fault. They can do nothing but squander the sacrifices our ancestors made to ensure we don't have to live the same way.

Time for them to go home, and leave us in peace.

@WojPawelczyk Why would anyone visit Germany? Or England? Or France? Or Spain? Or Ireland? Totally destroyed countries! Very sad

🚨NEW: James Talarico — who repeatedly claims that Republicans are trying to "rig elections" — used his mom's address to run for office in Texas, a violation of state election law.

Just a quick reminder that they arrested this guy for paddleboarding alone in the ocean during Covid while Anthony Fauci had dinner with Jake Tapper and his wife in DC and Gavin Newsome hosted a party with friends in California.

[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.

7 million barrels per day just taken offline, and the paper manipulations are so extreme that oil goes DOWN...

Wow.

If only trains and trucks ran on paper, we'd be in great shape. Unfortunately, they run on actual physical diesel fuel, and that's about to go bye-bye...
